Just Beginning!!!
« on: August 14, 2006, 12:22:14 AM »
I have just started on the keyboard. I don't even know my keys!! How do I know where to begin on playing music for the Lord. I am in the military right now and I want to get out in some years and go to be a minstry to my church at home. I can't do that if I don't know how to play! So I am going to keep praying and stay in God's favor and hopefully this site will get me where I need to be so I can go a couple of steps forward.

Determinedtoministermusic, Welcome to the LGM website.  :)

The best way IMO to start learning to play is to learn your Scales and Chords.  Go to http://piano.learngospelmusic.com to get start

Again welcome.

There is three things to learn and you will be playing in no time.  It took me one summer to learn all the chords and to play them and now I am playing for concerts and church services.

Three things to learn:

Notes
Scales
Chords

On the white keys there are 7 notes to memorise, on the black keys there are 5 notes to memorise they just repeat.  Once you learn your notes everything will be simple.  Now to give you some warning not all of it is simple but it is easy! 

The only hard thing in my opion is learning to lead your base, but only focus on one subject at a time.
