Salut grand-sœur, je suis pianiste dans une église protestante au TOGO (Afrique). Je suis débutant mais je joue une hymne chaque chaque fois à au culte, j'aimerais savoir comment travailler les hymnes.
Good question. I typically do this for Count Your Blessing, When we All Get to Heaven, and Standing on the Promises. Other hymns can follow alto for a note or two, but those have larger phrases that give you opportunity to follow alto.
I really like how it sounds the first pattern. I need to try it out. Any tip to play a 4 note chord on your right hand without getting too tired or tense?
Thanks! Hope it goes smoothly for you! That is a fantastic question! So the tension usually leads to being tired. The main goal is to never "lock" your hand into position. I sometimes have my students practice playing a full chord in the RH then releasing their hand between each chord and that usually helps to be sure you don't build tension as you play. Another tip is to be sure to go slowly and focus on being relaxed (usually adding speed subconsciously adds tension).
@@AmandaTeroMusic Never thought about release my hand between each chord. That makes so much sense now. Thank you! Btw, congrats on your 300 subscribers! (:
Practice. ☺️ I’d practice one key until comfortable then go to another key (or sight-read the hymnal in that key - eg, all hymns in G major then D major, etc.).
Oh, or if you meant actually playing a lot of keys at a time. Also practice. 😉 But knowing the chords help a lot. If you’re playing a C major chord, there are a LOT of CEGs on the piano you can play!
Amazing playing! Thank much for the lessons.
Please do more tutorials really blessing and encouragement to us learners
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!

I love using the alto note in the left hand! Do you have a list of hymns that have a moving alto part that would lend itself to this technique?

What's the secret to playing all the keys
