:wink: Praise the Lord, there are other females out there! I live in Salisbury MD.  I'm originally from NJ too.  I agree there are not many female musicians out there, but those of us who are need to stick together.  I play the keyboard, drums, alittle bass.  I have been playing consitently for my church for about 2 years.  I have an awesome love for playing the keyboard. It's hard to find other females with a passion.  I pray that the Love of God and music will take you to awesome levels in God

Hey ladies! Glad you responded so quickly.  I wish there was a female musician conference because I would definitely make it my business to attend.  Anyway...it's refreshing to hear from you all.  What piano videos do you use for learning?  Anything worth buying! I purchased a beginners tape from Jermaine Griggs and I enjoy it.  I just got it 2 days ago.  RESPOND

Female Musician from North Carolina.  Just a small town but only 3 female musicians.  There are so many more though with the gift to play but unfortunately become intimidated.  This is why there are only a few of us that do what we do continually.  We know who we are playing for.  I started out about 4years ago.  The only way i can explain it is that God just blessed me.  I play by ear, come from a mighty long way.  I use to ask people to show me stuff, but you know how that is I'm sure.  But I come to find out that the reason why a lot of male musicians won't help a female musician out (no offense to all you TRUE male musicians) is because they get extremely offended and intimidated to see a female musician that won't let up neither give up.

I encourage you all to continue doing what God has blessed your hands to do!  Don't get heady and high-minded.  Stay focused and don't be distracted.  Stay humble and He will exalt you in due time.

Be Blessed

Hey, I'm not a female musician, but I can tell you how I got started playing gospel style music. I just started listening to the hot CDs that's out and I started watching other experienced musicians. I didn't purchase any videos, but I did watch old church videos and when we had guest musicians at our church, I would study how they play. A normal practice session for me is just scales in every key w/both hands, playing the 4 basic types of chords (major, minor, diminished, augmented) and their inversions in every key w/both hands, then I just play whatever is in my head at the time. Sometimes I just turn on the radio and play behind the radio. I don't just listen to gospel music though, I listen to all different types of music as long as the beat is hot and there isn't too much bad language in it, I take pieces of songs and add it in my playing.

I live in Bartow, Florida and there are some female musicians down here that are off da chain. I be impressed by a female musician who can put it down just like a male musician, and sometimes they do it better. I think female musicians are just so sexy cuz they fingers glide over the keys and most of them can sing while they playing. I myself don't have no problem learning from females, yall keep doing yall thing.
Real musicians play in every key!!!

LOL wow T-Block I thought i was the only one that thought that.

 Hey srry for interuputing the female bonding. i saw thatcoment and had to respond, but i think that female musicians are amaizing becuase they are very pasionate about what they do. i'm a guy and i'm from NYc and i think i've seen about 4 or 5 female organ/piano/keyboard players in all my life in church( 20 years) but when they minister it is amaizing becuase they put there all into it. when i watch guys play they make it seem like they were born playing, lol idunno maybe it's just me. and don't worry about people not showing you anything, where i'm from they won't even let you play their keyboard sometimes, it's like "bring your own keyboard don't touch mine" asa if i'm gong to break it or something..

I'm from South Carolina and I play keyboard, organ, and piano.  There is definitely a shortage in this area.  It can be somewhat intimidating when we hear the guys play.  It's like it comes natural to them.  This website has helping me become a better musician.  I thank God for my gift.  For all you sisters out there let's keep pressing on and use our talents the Lord has given us.

Hi to all female musicians,
I am also a female musician.  I live in North Carolina.  I also play keyboard, piano, organ ( a little), sax, bass guitar, and drums.  I have asked some male musicians to help me and they refused by saying they didn't have the time or they would show me so fast until I would just tell them to forget it!  But I have watched them show other male musicians with not problems. Why?  I don't understand!  I encourage all female musicians to keep up the good work, and to continue to play the best to their ability and to put and keep God first at all times.

I'm representing Baltimore, Maryland.  Female musicians are few in number in Baltimore as well.  

However, I will leave you with this...  Whatever you need God's got it!!  Everything I know about music comes straight from the throne room of God.  Without his Spirit playing means nothing.  

If you exalt and worship God he will give the increase to your music ministry and your life!  

Allow him to direct your music to show you how to put your chords together.  If you listen to the Spirit of God you won't need man to show you anything because your source is from the music maker Himself!

Hey and Welcome!
I play the piano and have been for only about four or five years. I'm from arkansas and there is definitely no shortage of female musicians in this area. We're all over the place!  :wink:  At our church we have so many pianists that we rotate so each of us gets a chance to be used!! Anyhow--Hope you enjoy the site!
I will praise Him according to His excellent greatness!

I'm a female musician from PA, south of Pittsburgh...I play piano/keyboards, organ, violin, some sax, drums and guitar. Most of the older piano players are female but for those who are younger it is mostly guys. I have had formal lessons, but I would recommend those that want to practice make sure that they know their scales in all keys, as this is where your chords come from. Most importantly, ask God to touch your hands and study. Playing behind CD's is also something excellent to do.

Hi, my name is Shekedra and I'm just beginning to tap into a gift that I have. I't's music. I'm trying to teach myself that basics about the piano/keyboard. Every once in a while I play @ my church. I live in Danville and there is also a shortage of female organ players. If theres someone out there that can help me learn some things, just e-mail me at shekeke2003@yahoo.com.
