Simplified LDS Primary Songs

Ink Friendly Cover

I have had many requests for the simplified LDS primary songs that were on my layton.com website. Unfortunately, that site is down, and I have not yet been able to get it back up and working again. Until then, I’ll post them here.

There is a file for 15 off-staff primary songs, and another for 68 on-the-staff songs. I added some coloring pages so they can be printed front to back without any page turns. Some time ago I also made up a couple of covers. One mimics the actual primary songbook cover, but uses more ink. The other is more ink friendly.

Thank you so much for you patience with me, and enjoy!

    • Thank you so much for sharing!!! I teach piano and have loved using your arrangements to get my students playing songs they know that we can sing to. I have several students that started with your songs that now play the simplified versions from The Friend magazine. I’m so glad you posted new links because I have several new students that are getting their first Primary songs today. They are going to love playing songs they know and their parents are so happy too!

    • Thank you so much for these simple arrangements of the Primary songs. My granddaughter, who had only had piano lessons for a month, was able to play and sing two of the selections at her own baptism. She plays from your “book” constantly and has been the best tool in teaching her notes and sight reading. I can’t thank you enough!

  2. Thank you for sharing and making them available!!

  3. Thank you so much! What a generous way to share your talent.

  4. I would love a copy or pdf of this.

  5. Thank you!!

  6. Every minority should hate Donald Drumpff the dac racist white supremasist pig, his only fans are dying old whites males aka other dbdbi racist nazis!!!!!!!! https://antifa666.wordpress.com/2018/03/24/donald-trump-is-racist/

  7. Thank you so much for posting these in this format! I hope you are able to get your site up and running again but I also love the complete download. Out of curiosity, could you possibly post the versions with finger numbers instead of letters for the off staff songs? Hope all is well with you and yours!

    • Actually, the files with the finger numbers were on a very old computer. I don’t know that I have them anymore, but I’ll look and see.

      • I have a copy of your Once there was a Snowman letters. Can I email it to you? It is so helpful.

  8. Thank you so much! I have loved using your arrangements in the past and look forward to using them again. I am glad you’re back!

  9. Do I need special software to print? When I have tried to print they come out with boxes and different symbols. Help please? 😉

  10. Thank you! I have used your songs for years and am glad to add some songs that I missed the first time around.

  11. Thank you! You are so generous to share your work! You’re the best! 🙂

  12. I was so excited to have these again. Thank you for sharing! -Chrisitna

  13. These are WONDERFUL!!!! Thank you so much for sharing!

  14. Love this – do you have an index page?

  15. Thank you so much! I teach piano, & I used to use the Primary songs from your old site. I’ve been regretting not printing more of them ever since your site went down. Thank you so much for sharing them then and again now!!!

  16. Thank you for putting them up again 🙂

  17. Thank you for sharing these songs. I’m teaching myself to play piano & wanting to learn how to play primary songs. I hope to play the music from “Friend” one day, too.

  18. Greetings,
    I have a grand daughter who is learning to play. She began lessons a month ago and her father (my son) plays beautifully. I would like to purchase your book(s) of simplified primary books for her. I am also interested in Christmas music you have at the same level. Can you please send me ordering details? I’m laid up at the moment, but with the details my wife can help. Your materials look awesome. Many thanks, Rick Hales

  19. Thank you so much. We love these!

  20. […] Canciones primarias simplificadas de Layton Los arreglos principales de la canción de D’net Layton incluyen solo la línea de la melodía dividida entre las manos escritas principalmente cerca del Do medio. Aunque algunos incluyen alteraciones o patrones de ritmo más complicados, los niños que están familiarizados con la canción generalmente pueden tocar fácilmente los ritmos de oído. […]

  21. I appreciate your sharing the simplified Primary hymns. I share them with my children learning to play! They know the Melodie’s and so feel ‘empowered’ being able to play them more easily while learning fingerings. Thank you again for freely sharing your talents and knowledge of transposing music! These families now are able to have piano with their singing Primary hymns. Thanks, MargieRichards.

  22. Thank you very, very much!!
