Lyrics are included for sing-along enjoyment.

Keys Signatures: C, F, and G (and a few scattered accidentals)
Time Signatures: 3/4, 4/4, and 6/8

These arrangements are ideal for introducing classic Christian songs to piano students. They can be used as supplementary repertoire for students after they have mastered the basics of music notation and note reading. These arrangements are also great for sight-reading practice, especially if some of the songs are unfamiliar.
These arrangements are perfect for small keyboards. They provide the opportunity for additional practice and enjoyment even when a full-sized keyboard is not available.
Most of these songs are also available separately with accompanying preview pages and audio samples.
