What You’ll Learn
Lesson 1: Foundations
We’ll do a quick dive into one of the most important systems in modern worship music - the Nashville Number System. We’ll start building scales and learn how to easily build chords, the building blocks of music.
Lesson 2: Core Chords
In modern worship music, almost every song uses the same exact four chords. We will learn those and how to play them so that they: 1. sound incredible, and 2. are incredibly easy to play. Yes, it’s possible to sound amazing without years of work!
Lesson 3: Worship “Loop”
Not only are the same chords used over and over in worship music, there is also a single chord progression “loop” that is used constantly! We’ll revisit the Number System and bust the code of this worship loop so you can use it to make learning songs even easier.
Lesson 4: LORD Method
This trick is the one that always makes the biggest difference for my worship piano students. It is so simple, yet fits in worship music and makes you sound like a professional keys player instantly!
Lesson 5: EVERY Chord
We’ve learned the foundations of most modern worship songs, and now we’re going to take things a step further. We’ll learn every possible chord you could need to play in a key, so you’re prepared for every song your team might do.
Lesson 6: Builds/Dynamics
Most worship songs have similar patterns for how each instrument builds and complements the entire worship team. We’ll walk through the exact template for what you should play and when to make a song feel powerful and to fit in with the worship band mix.
Lesson 7: Using Software
You may have noticed big worship teams with laptops controlling their keyboards. The software keys setup can get complex and confusing, but it doesn’t have to be. We’ll walk through how to use software to make incredible sounds without breaking the bank or losing your mind!
Lesson 8: Spontaneous
A lot of modern worship teams have spontaneous moments, where you play off the chord chart (like improv). This can be intimidating, but there are simple tips and tricks for how to play spontaneously with ease. We’ll even get into tactics for learning to play by ear.
Lesson 9: First Setlist
Now we’ll tie together all these concepts and actually work on your very first setlist! I’ll work with you from the very first step of getting a setlist and how to properly prepare and practice, and then I’ll even hop on acoustic so you can play the full setlist for real!
