Discover a poignant version of the classic song! This lyrical arrangement of Hallelujah is perfect for early intermediate students or more advanced pianists who just want to enjoy playing without worrying about excessive technical challenges. The rhythm has been simplified to make the 6/8 time signature more accessible, and careful fingering makes the moves easy and pianistic. The fingers never have to stretch beyond a fifth, so pianists with smaller hands can play without strain. This arrangement has been tested and approved by both young students and college professors!
A Note from the Arranger
As a piano teacher, I love using music my students already know and love. It is my favorite way to keep them motivated and develop their skills. But it is difficult to find arrangements that are suitable for beginners. Much of the music is either too hard or doesn’t sound like the original tune. That’s why I started creating my own arrangements of popular favorites!
Each of my arrangements has been meticulously arranged with beginning pianists in mind. I have transposed the melody to minimize accidentals and keep students in familiar hand positions. I have simplified rhythms where necessary while still maintaining the original feel of the piece.
Most importantly, these arrangements have been used in the real world! Every piece I publish has been tested and approved by independent piano teachers, college professors, and music students of various ages and levels. I use their feedback to ensure each arrangement provides an enjoyable experience for beginning pianists and their teachers. Now students can play their favorite music with confidence!
