The first mini lesson on Diatonic Chord Substitution is almost complete!
I had SO much fun creating this short mini lesson that involves seven pages in addition to answer key pages and at least a 17 minute video companion chock full of visuals!
I hope to publish the entire project by this Friday. Watch short commercial below with few bloopers!

Over the past year, I’ve had a good many of you ask for “improvising hymns” lessons. I wish I had time to teach all of you!
But wait….there may be a solution!
How many of you would be interested in mini-course lessons?
My husband and I started talking it over today.
I could try doing my first mini-lesson on Zoom. The lesson would cover just one specific topic.
I’m thinking a half hour per session at a cost of $10 per session with a
minimumof 5 applicants.
What are your thoughts? What specific topic would you like to see covered?
The “most mentioned” topic will be our first mini-lesson! I’m rooting for “chord substitutions” to be the first one 
I’ve also posted this on facebook and have a lot of feedback/topics. So far…chord substitutions is the “most mentioned” topic.
Just thought I’d share my facebook live event from last night. I played about a dozen comforting hymns.

Just pull up a chair and sing-a-long.
I grew up in the Greenville SC area and always enjoyed hearing Shelly Hamilton play the piano. She had a positive impact on my hymn playing style. I enjoy using her Hymnproviser Workbook series (three books total) as reference material for my hymn playing teaching.
Click on this link to view Hymnproviser Workbook One.
For the next four Mondays, beginning April 13th at 2pm EST…Shelly Hamilton will teach fill-in ideas for one hymn per live-stream session. (30 minutes per session) She’s also planning on a question/answer time as well! You will enjoy her teaching style as she shares how to make a hymn sound more full.
The live-stream sessions are geared to the intermediate church pianist. Shelly is offering a quarantine special on this four session event! I’m looking forward to tuning in for Shelly’s Virtual Hymn Playing Class starting this Monday at 2pm EST!

This arrangement began as a spontaneous creation during one of Jenifer’s recent “Comforting Hymns” sessions…via live on facebook.
Due to numerous requests, Jenifer has written out the arrangement and now it’s available in print.
