Simplified Primary Songs
These songs were published in the Children’s Songbook (2000) by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
These simplified arrangements feature the melody with simple supporting notes or chords. Since they are in the same key, it makes it easier for emergent pianists to transition into the regular Primary songbook.
Only the Primary songs which have a Spanish equivalent are included here. No prohibited copyrighted songs are included.
The music was simplified and copyrighted by Michael Smurthwaite, and may be copied free of charge for non-commercial use.
