Why we love this

Flatau understands what makes hymns work at the keyboard: singable keys, clear harmonic movement, and arrangements that support rather than overshadow the melody. Students get to play music that matters in their communities while building real accompaniment skills, not just technique exercises.

What to expect

These arrangements respect the contemplative and uplifting character of hymn melodies while keeping the piano writing accessible. Chord progressions are transparent enough to reinforce harmonic literacy without requiring advanced voice leading. The result feels grounded and purposeful rather than decorative.

Who it's for

Level 2 pianists who are ready to move beyond note-by-note reading and explore chord accompaniment. This book works equally well for students using the Glover Method and those working through other early intermediate piano curricula. It appeals to students who want their practicing to connect to music they hear in worship, school, or community settings.

How to get the most out of it

Balance the melody against the harmonic foundation. The hymn tune should sing above the chords, so voice the left hand carefully to avoid muddy accompaniment.
Practice the chord voicings separately from the melody line. Solid left-hand independence makes the right hand sing more freely.
Use the pedal judiciously to blend harmonies without blurring note clarity. Change the pedal with harmonic shifts, not on every beat.
If accompanying a singer, listen to their phrasing and breathe together. The piano part should follow, not lead.

How to use it

Assign individual hymns as supplementary pieces throughout the year to reinforce whatever harmonic concepts students are learning in their method book. Use them in studio recitals, where hymn accompaniment creates a natural bridge between solo performance and collaborative music-making. Several pieces work beautifully for church or school services if you have students performing in those settings.
