Fingering Tip for The Old Rugged Cross (free piano arrangement)
One of my church pianist readers recently asked me for some help on measures 29 and 30 of the free piano arrangement for “The Old Rugged Cross”.
In measure #29…The right hand has to reposition on the second beat in order to compensate for the upcoming busy movement. I created a quickie video demonstrating a suggested fingering to make this area feel more comfortable to the hand.
Feel free to ask for any guidance or tips on this piece or any other arrangements I’ve written.

Hello, a friend asked me to learn The Old Rugged Cross on piano. It is taking me longer than I thought to get it now pat, but I’m not giving up the ship!
You play very lovely and have inspired me to keep on practicing. I have our Church Hymm book to compare the songs. The Church book song is very choppy. So I will continue with your arrangement.
Sincerely,
Deb
