Lesson 15: Amazing Grace in C, F, & G
"Amazing Grace" provides four slightly different hand positions, which will help you continue developing your finger and keyboard awareness. Instructions for learning a piece on the piano: -play each line with right hand (fingerings written above note names) until it is easy and/or memorized. -play each line with left hand (fingerings written below note names) until it is easy and/or memorized. -play each line with both hands until it is easy and/or memorized. -string the lines together until you can play the whole piece. Keep it slow until you are comfortable and familiar with it. Then, start playing it faster, working up to an appropriate tempo for that piece. -Regardless of tempo, relax your arms & shoulders and keep it smooth and flowing.

Other verses:That precious day that grace appeared, The hour I first believed, ‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved. Through many dangers toils and snares, I have already come ‘Tis grace that brought me safe this far, And grace will lead me home. When we’ve been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise, Than when we first begun.
