Basic Piano Library Praise Hits Books

Contemporary Christian music emotionally satisfies students of all ages. Soon after beginning piano study, students can play attractive versions of the best-known worship music of today.  

Each Praise Hits Book correlates page-by-page with the Basic Piano Lesson Books, and Praise Hit Book 1 allows for Carolyne to play duet with your child as they are learning.  

You are welcome to purchase any of these additional books and Carolyne will then incorporate them into your child's lesson.

By Level 4, students will progress to playing original versions of worship pieces.
