About the Book

Hymns for Kids teaches children about worship music, concentrating on hymns. Along the way, they learn many key musical concepts as they learn how to "read" a hymn. Appropriate for beginner piano students, as a unit study for homeschoolers, or just for introducing the study of hymns, Hymns for Kids is written with 8 to 12-year olds in mind (though it is appropriate for younger, and older, audiences).

Hymns for Kids has four sections: an overview of hymns; the "technical stuff"; Hymns for Kids hymnal; and, worksheets, puzzles, and answer keys.

Overview

  • The reason why we sing and what the Bible has to say about singing
  • The history of the hymns: from the time of Moses to the New Testament, through church history and to our own time
  • The purpose of hymns: to praise the Lord; and, to encourage, admonish and instruct one another in the faith
  • Types of worship songs: psalms, hymns, and modern praise songs
  • A review of famous hymns and hymnbooks, and hymn writers like Isaac Watts, Charles Wesley, and Fanny Crosby

    Kim Snow

    Kim Snow has been teaching piano students for over 20 years. As a piano teacher, she discovered that music curriculum using hymns was limited and difficult for beginner music students to play. To address this need she began studying hymnology, music theory, and composition, and began writing her own arrangements of hundreds of the most popular hymns of the Christian faith. She integrates many concepts-including the circle of fifths, improvisation and chord stylization-to help the student understand music and how to play the hymns. Her arrangements and other products are available on PraiseNotes.com.

    Kim has also been a church musician for over 25 years. She loves teaching online piano lessons across the country via Skype. Her advanced hymn arrangements have been published in the national publication "The Church Pianist" and Lorenz's piano solos for Holy Week, "With Jesus Through the Shadows."
