One of my piano students recently requested improvising ideas for More About Jesus.

Specs I consider before improvising a hymn:

1. Key signature
2. Time signature
3. Chord structure
4. Tempo  (the faster the tempo = less notes, the slower the tempo= more notes

In this tutorial, I added improvised notes for a moderate tempo.

“More About Jesus” is one of those challenging hymns to “dress-up”!

Wow! There are multiple pattern ideas for this song! I’m trying to settle on which ones to share with you all.

Did you know you can insert rests in place of the right hand melody during repetitive sections?  Doing this avoids overworking the hand and produces a smoother tone. More improvising tips and visuals soon!

Most of this hymn consists of the I and V chord with the exception of the  ii chord occurring once in the verse and one time in the chorus.

The upcoming video tutorial will cover the verse of “More About Jesus” in the key of G Major.
