CREATESPACE 8 Chords 100 Songs Praise and Worship Songbook for Piano: 8 Simple Chords, 100 Great Songs - Third Edition

Für Anfänger

This is more-or-less the companion book to the one I use most often (8 chords 100 songs for GUITAR)I am a worship leader and bi-vocational pastor. I also teach beginning guitar to Junior High & High School students and utilize this book because even novice musicians can follow along. By using this book, budding musicians can participate on the praise team after just a few months of practice. The book is broken up into sections. It starts out with a large section (over 25) of contemporary worship songs (Everlasting God, God of Wonders, Indescribable, etc.), followed by a section of 15-20 well-known and well-loved hymns (Amazing Grace, I'll fly away, The wonderful cross, etc.), then a section of Christmas Carols (Silent Night, First Noel, Away in a Manger, etc. About a dozen or so of them.) and even includes an entire section of children's songs (Jesus Loves Me, The B-I-B-L-E, Father Abraham, etc.) that are VERY useful for the little ones, and even has a small section of well-known patriotic tunes (God Bless America, America the Beautiful, etc.) I own many songbooks that I've acquired over almost 3 decades of playing music. This book is the ONLY one that stays in my guitar case. I buy this one for any of my budding musicians that are learning piano instead of guitar (a wonderful lady here in town teaches beginning piano) It's everything you need with none of the fluff. By far the most useful songbook I've ever owned. I have bought copies for many of my students, and even another worship leader that is a friend of mine. I have been asked to play a few times at different Christian events without any warning (FCA meetings, church camp, etc.), and I just pop this book out & play away! WELL worth the money!

This book is brilliant.If ,like me, you just want to play for the joy of playing and singing,this book of cords will get you there quickly and painfree.

Not what I thought it was. And the website they gave in the book does not work

I love these books. There aren’t lead lines, and the “music” is all slash marks and chords. The words to the songs are all written out with chord-rhythm markings. I bought the same book meant for guitar for my husband, and his book has rhythm instructions in the first pages that are referenced in the piano book, but aren’t there. If you are looking for true fake book format these books are not what you are looking for. They are more chords and words. I am pleased with my collection of worship books. This one has a nice selection of songs, although there are repeats to other books I have by the same publisher. You will be pleased if you are looking for a simplified format.
