Hymns With Style

These arrangements are wonderfully done. Jerry Ray always does a beautiful job of arranging hymns.

I’ve been teaching myself to sight read the past month and a half and I have to say this is perfect for my reading level. Challenging enough to engage my brain and hone my skills, but approachable enough to make me feel like I’m doing something right. This is great for people who need to work on chord recognition and patterns and things of that nature. Love this book, gorgeous arrangements.

Excellent arrangements (it's not too often that you come across a piano book where you love every single arrangement in it). I am self taught and I play LI/EA/A sheet music. These are all easy to sight read and the arrangements are beautiful. When playing at church, these are not too difficult so that I can get through them when my nerves make me a mess.

I teach piano and have piles of piano arrangements but this one is still, by far, my favorite. They are fresh, thoughtful, and exquisitely gorgeous. Everyone needs a copy of this book. 5 stars really isn’t enough.

These are really nice arrangements of some well-loved hymns. They are about an upper intermediate level, so if you are an advanced pianist, you can just about sight-read them. The arrangements are interesting enough that they don't sound simple, so can be used to play in church for specials or preludes with little to no practice.

I remember loving this book as a young pianist! That being said, it is definitely more early intermediate. Definitely something I can use, being a piano teacher! But wasn't sure when I got it how difficult it would be. But I do love it! Lots of nice chords to begin introducing chord substitution!

Easy to intermediate piano music. The best part of this book are the chords that Jerry Ray used. Simpy gorgeous! They make this (somewhat easy) music seem more advanced.

I use these arrangements for playing for funerals. There are many familiar hymns arranged in unique ways.

To intermediate: If you have a plan to buy this and go through the book it by yourself. You may not achieve the best of the composer's ideas.Nice arrangements and some people my find it difficult to bring the interpretations required by the author.I personally did not like two pieces there but that is taste. Apart from that I would classify as a good book.
