Hi all

,
I am new to this site. I like the way you all are sharing yoru views. I sing with two choirs in my church. One is called Total Praise and the other one is the Congregationial singers. My girlfriend also sings solos a lot. My hope is that I can learn to play some background music to some of the congregational songs we sing. Also some of the songs that Total Praise sings is all on CD. I am hoping ot learn to play some fo them by Ear and just give the Service a more live feeling of Praising God.
The way the songs are written in our Hymn books are 4 part Harmony. Can anyone give me some ideas of what I can start doing to learn to put some nice background to that music so we don't have to sing everything accappella. (Hope I spelled that correct) Any replies would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and God Bless you all.
