Piano Accompaniment Tips (in the works)

Monday, October 28th, 2024

Allissa, one of our Pastor’s daughters, is one of my early intermediate students.  My grandson, Michael, is about to catch up to her!

I’m having a blast training them for the role of church pianist!

Allissa will play for another vocal special this coming Sunday, November 4, 2024

Here’s a pic of her practicing with two guys from our church.  I sat behind the scenes giving her tips as needed.  She soaks it up!

A fruitful practice! During the rehearsal…Allissa learned a few tips from following points….

1. How to figure out an interlude
2. How to simplify awkward accidental note passages.
3. How to recover from a blunder
4. How to…above all else…follow the vocalists!

I’m so thankful our young people who are involved with the music ministry!

They play for several different areas of music ministry such as:  offertory, prelude music and congregational singing.

Extra info:  Allissa is playing a vocal arrangement of “How Beautiful Heaven Must Be.” I plan to publish this arrangement ASAP!

Please feel free to remind me if you’re interested in the arrangement 🙂

Let me know if you would like me to expound on the above points.
