The Easy Hymn Fake Book - Over 150 Hymns in the Key of C | Beginner Worship and Church Piano Book | Large Print Sheet Music with Chords and Melody Paperback – December 1, 2002

For chord lovers. I love these books. So easy to transpose to Nashville number system and the hymns are beautiful—good variety.

I have purchased several of the Easy Books! Love them all! great for beginners and for someone looking for a baseline to add their own spin to!

My church does not have a pianist and I am learning to play songs out of this book for them to sing along to. Thank you!! I want them ALL!!

Good for piano, guitar, keyboards. Easy to read clear print

I wish they had another name for this book. I LOVE the key of C for my students. It's a great way to get them to play consistently when they are first learning. Even later, when they nees something familiar when playing with other instruments . There is nothing wrong with the key of C. It's not any less important than the other keys. Change the name and I think you would have better distribution. Nothing FAKE about these arrangements or key. Love it!

I love this book because even though I don't know every chord by sight yet, nor can I read sheet music proficiently anymore, I can still pick up most of the songs in this book along with the basic melody line within 1-3 practices. If you've played around with chords and sheet music but are not necessarily skilled yet at either, this is a great mediator. The chords are noted along with the basic melody line for the treble hand, so you are free to experiment with your bass hand. I do find myself wishing that EVERYTHING wasn't in C. I know that's easier to play, but I don't mind some of the other keys and get bored when I play in the same key for too long. Nonetheless, for me, this book still presents a few challenges and keeps me busy. I bought the Christmas book too after this one!

Perfect for someone like me who is a casual piano player and just wants the chords to accompany myself while singing!

I play a tenor sax for my own enjoyment and have throughly enjoyed playing the hymns in this book. I like that the hymns are arranged so the score is all on one page. It makes it easy for sax players not to have to turn the page. I cut the spline off on my table saw and the put the pages in a ring binder. It worked great. Because all the songs are in the key of C some notes on a very few songs are out of the range of the tenor sax. I understood that when I purchased it and just play those an octave higher. Very few songs fall into that category. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase.
