 Learning hymns is the foundation of Gospel music. You have to learn those hymns. I am 25 years old, and when I first started learning, I wanted to immediately jum in and learn John P. Kee songs who is my favorite artist, but I suddently realized through piano lessons the importance of those hymns.

Hymns have a lot more meaning than a lot of the songs that are sung in today's time. THose hymns are tru songs of inspriation, they are songs taht help you to get through a struggle. A lot of todays' songs are being sung and played simply because of the beat. I often tell people that of you took some of today's songs to the club, and played it people would keep dancing never knowing they were Gospel songs.

I think that a lot of us need to get out of the mode of what's hot and trying to play the songs that people want to hear, and start playing those hymns that people need. Gospel is the root of all music. HYMNS are essential to truly learning Gospel music. If you ever come down to North Carolina, you better know your hymns, because they sing down here. GOD bless You!!!!!!!.

Again, it's a matter of preference and what one grew up with. Personally, I'm not for ALL of the hymns; I'm just not. There are some that are great, really great. I'm a part of today's generation and what works for me, FOR ME, is a lot of the more contemporary songs THAT HAVE A MEANING AND A MESSAGE.

I don't listen to everything nor everybody, but give me Rhema Worship & Praise over most hymns anyday of the week and twice on Sunday. ;) :D


Don't know whom I'm talkin' about? Do a search; either here or on the 'Net. ;)

I think this whole conversation, minus the musicianship, is about preference and experience.

Now, if we're just talkin' about Gospel music, then, as I stated earlier, learning the hymns IS essential. ;) :D

Sjon, be encouraged and keep practicing.  I directed choirs first before I started playing for them or church.

I went through blood sweat and tears, but I really wanted it.  Now a days Gods is really pouring out on His people, so it's just a matter of time before you're going to mastering the keys.

This is all great for all of us to share our thoughts. But maybe people get a little intimidated when we talk about hymns because they think about playing the entire hymn book. Are there certain songs that are more important than others? There are definitely songs that are sang more than others! What do you think? :-\

I doubt that everyone knows the entire Hymn book of any demonination. I'd say that learning the most sung hymns would be a great place to start.

Hymns such as those. ;)

You're right on point Sjon. It's like when you learn the top 10 on the charts for Praise and Worship and for Choir material; there is a top "10" I guess for hymns, which there is much more that just 10. ;)
