Easy Six Beat Note Fill!
Easy Six Beat Note Fill In!
Sharing one of my favorite fill ins for pianists!
Use this fill in for hymns in 3/4, 9/4, 6/8, 9/8 and 12/8
Where to use? On a melody note lasting 6 beats.
How to use? Determine what chord is being used during the six count note.
Left hand plays single bass note in lower register of keyboard on 1st beat and plays a chord on fourth beat.
Right hand enters on beats two through beat six.
Tip: To prevent disorientation….notice the melody note you’re heading to after the fill-in.
Apply to hymns of like nature using the time signatures listed above.
Below…is a video demonstrating the four examples from video above.
So glad to have found your site!
I’m a regular accompanist at the church I attend — and recently visited another congregation where I was inspired by the masterful accompanist. Looking for resources that I can apply to enrich my own skills. Looking forward to browsing through your older posts.
Thanks for taking the time to put these ideas together for others to use.
I also like to get ideas from others. Hope the site is helpful! Happy playing.
