Hello fellow christians,

I great you in the name of the wonderful and mighty God of ours. I hope you are having a blessed day and already claim the week as to be a blessed one in the name of  Jesus.

I thank you for your previous help and would like to ask you to keep on sending all kind of tips and techniques about playing piano and even sending notes for some musics.

May God bless you!

In Him,

My tip is to "Consistantly Practice".

and get lots of caffeine in you cos you're gonna need it....  :wink:

Yes, practice and dedication are #1 and #2 things. My experience is that it takes 4-6 months of solid practice on something before it comes naturally.
That's a long time to wait, but that's the name of the game...

My tips are first to go through the posts on this site and learn about music theory.  Next, practice your major scales in every key w/both hands everytime u get to a keyboard.  Also, learn as many musical progressions as u can in every key for that is the key to playing good gospel music by ear.

make sure to learn all ur scales, not just major but minor and blues as well if possible it'll help alot when it comes to doing runs. also practice ur progressions in every key as uve probably heard many people here already saying. it really really helps because not always do u do a song in lets say easier keys like D and G yup

And last but not least, check out the free e-books on LGM.  Study to show thyself approved.  Plus, it is a great resource for learning.

My tip - take the advice of all the above. Make yourself a book of what you learned and go over it everyday. Don't try to skip corners or rush into learning, really learn theory and practice as much as you can.

God bless.
