Play Amazing Grace and learn Gospel Piano

Greetings friends and fellow musicians!!

Hello to all my Keyboard Friends!

Thank you for visiting you Personal Piano Professor Website!

In response to requests for more on playing Gospel piano I have posted two new pages on the website.

One of them discusses how to play hundreds of Gospel favorites by just learning three fundamental elements.

Three fundamentals.

If you are a beginner you will need to know a little bit about melodies which are derived from music scales. You will also need to know some basic skills on the subject of harmony which will come from your study of piano chords. The third element of all styles of gospel music is the root motion or the bass which will also come from you study of chords and inversions.

That may sound like a lot but it is really easier than you think. If you are a beginner take a few seconds to hear a three step audio demo of how these three elements come together without years of study.

Apply the fundamentals.

By learning about melodies and as few as three chords and a little about bass motion you will be able to apply this knowledge to hundreds of gospel songs no matter what the style.

The bottom line is If you learn to MASTER SMALL CHORD PATTERNS, you can literally play HUNDREDS of worship songs by ear...

Listen to a brief lesson and demonstration by Minister Jermaine Griggs.

As promised, I have posted a lesson with an 8 minute video on how to play Amazing Grace on the piano.

It is estimated that this well loved American gospel song is performed over 10 million times each year.

After experiencing the grace and love of God, John Newton, a former slave trader was converted to Christianity and in 1772 penned the lyrics to this timeless classic hymn.

He wanted to deliver the message that forgiveness and redemption is possible regardless of the sins people commit and that the soul can be delivered from despair through the mercy of God.

An understanding of music scales and the major scale in particular is one of the most important single concepts to understand as we continue to study the basic music theory required to get the most out of your experience playing piano or electronic keyboards.

To learn chords by memorizing each note or looking at pictures is like learning speak and foreign language with out understanding the meanings or context of the words.

By learning a few formulas starting with the formula for a Major scale you will not only speak the language of music but truly understand the how and why of chords and chord progressions.

Major Scales: the foundation to chord theory

Have you ever thought: “How excellent would it be to sit at a piano and play any melody that comes into my mind – without any notes?”

Or: What do I do when my band wants me to take a Piano Solo?

Piano improvisation, is the art of spontaneously playing melodies on the piano at the spur of the moment.

You may think it is domain of few very creative, experienced, and gifted musicians and thus unreachable for hobbist musicians or beginners. However......

I believe if you read on and go through some of the suggestion contained in these lessons that you or anyone can begin to learn this awesome skill.

Learning the 12 bar blues progression is basic to understanding the roots of American popular music.

When you see a group of musicians getting together to play everyone seems to know what to do almost magically.

This is because at one time or another they learned the 12 bar blues progression.

While there are lots of variations of this timeless progression the most common is a three chord 12 measure version explained in this lesson.
