Practice Tips

Part One

Finding time to practice vocal specials is a challenge for most church pianists!  Listen to Meryt Wilson and Jenifer Cook as they discuss this challenging topic.

Meryt Wilson, one of my dear piano friends and myself, try to get together at least once a year to boost our music creativity.
We decided this year to discuss the topic of Accompanying vocal specials.

This is just a candid conversation that took place between us.

Choosing the song for a singer may not be needed most of the time… but here are some suggestions on how it could benefit some singers.

Next video excerpt will discuss practicing tips with vocal specials!   Have you ever heard of audacity?  I’ll mention it in the next video.

What is the accompanist’s role? Should the vocal soloist sing a song just because it’s their favorite? What to do if a singer forgets his or her words? Should you play melody throughout?

Come join Jenifer Cook & Meryt Wilson for a time of discussion on the above topics and more…including funny or embarrassing moments as accompanists at the keyboard.

To be aired here on Jenifer’s website this Saturday, August 17, 2019.

Interested in a notebook which stores your 8 & 1/2 x 11 inch sheet music AND prevents page turns?!  Every church pianist can greatly benefit from this special designed notebook!

I just recently purchased one of these ChoreoKeeper notebooks and absolutely LOVE it!

The ChoreoKeeper notebook easily displays  up to six pages at once. (see video HERE where Catherine (the designer) shows how to display more than six pages with minimal turns)  There’s more….the notebook can also accommodate 11″ x 17″  landscape format sheet music!  See info HERE on Catherine’s blog.  (scroll down a ways to see)

The notebook will easily hold up to 50 pages of music which is stored in  bi-fold or tri-fold reduced-glare sheet protectors.

Just finished recording this arrangement to my youtube channel.  This particular arrangement of “Crown Him with Many Crowns” is available in my book entitled “My Redeemer and Friend” published by Lorenz.

One of my early intermediate students is working on this particular arrangement right now. She said it was comfortable to the hand and plans on playing it for offertory at her church.

Just finished creating video recordings of the songs from my book entitled “My Redeemer and Friend”.

Lorenz Publishing owns this book of my arrangements and can be purchased HERE

I will upload them to Youtube as time permits.

Here’s an easy early intermediate sacred piano solo of “Great is Thy Faithfulness”.

This piece was also written for one of my early intermediate students.

I have several students who play in church and are always looking for early intermediate sacred piano solos that don’t take a long time to learn 😉

Church pianists are busy people! Always practicing with choir or other vocal specials…so it’s nice to have an arrangement that the pianist can learn in a reasonable amount of time.

Great is Thy Faithfulness

Early intermediate sacred piano solo, 3 pg.

Price: $3.00

I originally wrote this arrangement for one of my piano students and then forgot about it.  This arrangement of “Lead Me to Calvary”makes an excellent choice for the Lord’s supper, Lent, offertory or another devotional time in your service.

Lead Me to Calvary

Early intermediate sacred piano solo, 2 pgs.

Price: $3.00

Three Early Intermediate offertories on the way to publication soon!  I have a surplus of arrangements that I write for my students and find it a challenge to take the time to input them into my computer program (Finale).

The titles are:  Great is Thy Faithfulness,  Lead Me to Calvary and The Love of God.

Just need to do a little tweaking!
