GENERAL

This book has been especially prepared for students in Level 2 of Alfred's Basic Piano Library or those using corresponding books of any other piano method, who are interested in learning to play sacred music.The opening selections in this book provide additional experience in note reading, using the familiar MIDDLE C & MIDDLE D POSITIONS. Hymns using the dotted quarter and eighth note rhythm have been selected and arranged to correspond with the introduction of similar material in the Lesson Book, Theory Book, Recital Book and Technic Book. Later in this book, triads are introduced, along with the principal chords of the keys of C, G and D major, and the student is well on the way to effective solo hymn playing.DUETS: Each selection in this book has a duet part that is playable on the same piano at the same time as the solo part. These hymns make excellent student-teacher or student-parent duets. Measure numbers are provided on the solo part as well as the duet part for easy reference during rehearsal.
