Does your song leader ever request a modulation on the last verse leading into the chorus for congregational singing?

I’ve put together a short video and free PDF to share several whole step up modulation tips.

Special Note!

I apologize for not posting anything lately.  My dad was hospitalized last week unexpectedly and so I stayed through last week to help them out.

I returned just yesterday and now helping out with grand kids while my oldest son is getting a back issue treated.  I should be able to start posting again by this Friday.

I do enjoy posting articles and writing music but my family comes first.  Thanks for your understanding.  By the way, LOVE the encouraging notes that many of you have written. Thank you SO much!  That’s what keeps me writing! 🙂

Sincerely,

Jenifer

Meryt Wilson, one of my dear piano friends and myself, try to get together at least once a year to boost our music creativity.  This year we decided to discuss the topic of “Accompanying Vocal Specials”.

I’ll be sharing video excerpts of our discussion along the way.

We usually spend the day sight reading each other’s books that may be new to us. We also enjoy playing spontaneous numbers as you will see below.

Meryt has been playing for church since at least junior high age. She also taught piano at Ambassador Baptist College for a number of years in addition to giving private piano lessons. 

You can find Meryt’s sacred piano arrangements at the following link: Sheet Music Plus

Meryt will be adding more arrangements as time permits.

Now on to our spontaneous fun 😉    Just sharing the part that seemed to go well 😉

  Special note:  I’m almost finished editing my Dad’s song “His Name is Wonderful to Me”.  I hope to publish this song tomorrow!  (Sunday August 18,2019)

Currently working on short video tutorial which provides visual/audio examples of the recent video on “Six Beat Note Fill-Ins”

Hope to publish this video today!

Jenifer will be sharing Modulating Tips for Prelude tomorrow…

Just started inputting “Hark the Herald Angels Sing” to Finale program..

A NO Makeup Morning!

Gotta finish this two piano arrangement of Gesu Bambino today!  Need to submit to SMPress Holiday arranging contest by October 10th!  I like to have breathing space to allow time for editing 🙂

Just talked with the lady today who’s helping with the permission/license for my arrangement of “I’d Rather Have Jesus”.

The process has begun!  I will keep everyone posted.

I’m working on an advanced sacred piano solo of “I’d  Rather Have Jesus”.

I just finished the first verse and chorus. (handwritten version)
