My dad gave me one of the most valuable
piano assignments when I was a young girl,
about 12 years of age.
He challenged me to play every hymn from
the hymnal as written.
Why?
To improve my sightreading
Able to play any hymn during 'request' times
Conditioned me to read part writing which
helped me for choir practice.
Overall exposure to well written (organized) music.
Though I never played the entire hymnal at the age
of 12...I made it through a major part of the hymnal.
Now, at the age of 45, I believe I've made it through
most of the hymnal.
Thank you Dad for giving me one of the most bene-
ficial assignments I've ever had!
