Hello again!!

Piano Songs "I offer My life" by Don Moen

Hello to all my Keyboard friends!

Hope you have all been practicing and making progress with your playing.

Piano Songs "I offer My life" by Don Moen

I have found that the best way to learn the basics of piano theory and develop your ability to play by ear is by learning songs you are familiar with and that interest you.

I have received many requests from some keyboard friends in Nigeria to feature some songs by Worship leader and songwriter Don Moen.

Nearly all of Don's songs feature common diatonic chord progressions that are common to lots of other songs.

Using this popular Worship Song by Don Moen we will be solidifying what we have learned about common chord progressions, voice leading, ear training, and modulation to a different key also called transposing.

The Best Home Study Course for Gospel, Play by Ear

Many piano students spend too much TIME learning how to play the piano and not enough time PLAYING THE PIANO!

Years upon years of studying various techniques, music theory, and 'level' after 'level. It makes piano teachers a lot of money but learning music doesn't have to be that way.

If you want to start playing ALL of your favorite hymns and congregational songs by ear right away, I've definitely found something that's going to help you do just that.

Over the weekend, my friend Jermaine, the owner of the piano site, HearandPlay.com, was telling me about an idea of his and it really made A LOT of sense. In fact, our conversation went so well, he decided to put the information on his website (see below).

Jermaine Griggs,the pioneer of the award-winning GospelKeys learning system, has come up with 3 simple steps to playing gospel music so you won't waste any time at all.

In fact, it'll virtually cut your learning time in half! I copied and pasted the most important parts below so you can get a general idea.

HERE IT GOES...

Step One: Determining the Melody

Step Two: Harmonizing the Melody

Step Three: Adding the Bass

These three steps are not super complicated theories that require several years of experience. In fact, they were designed for the total beginner with absolutely no musical experience.

What most people don't understand is that most songs follow patterns. If you've been mistakenly learning songs, one by one, you're only exercising your ability to MEMORIZE chords --- and that's exactly why it takes SO LONG to learn just one song.

BUT...

If you concentrate on LEARNING PATTERNS, you'll never go wrong because songs are built on repeating patterns. You should NEVER EVER have to memorize over 100 songs when they all share the same exact CHORDS, PROGRESSIONS, AND PATTERNS.

I want to remind you that many of the ideas for lessons come from those of you who contact me with questions. I encourage you to let me know what you need.

Also you can find a contact form on the site and suggest a song for a future lesson. Don't be shy. Let me know how i can help!!

I am grateful for all of you, and wish you the best success in your playing!!

Thanks, Greg
