31 Days to Better Worship Keyboard Playing E-book

Give me 31 Days and I’ll Give You Dramatically Better Worship Keyboard Skills… Guaranteed

Do you feel that the way you play worship keyboard is quite boring? Do you only use 1 style of playing for every song? Clueless about how to get better in your playing skills? Perhaps your listeners are distracted by your playing, or you feel that people aren't connecting with God when you play?

31 Days to Build Worship Keyboard Playing is a downloadable e-book designed to help you revitalize your playing. One step at a time, it will empower you with practical and easy-to-apply skills on the worship keyboard.

Designed to Make you Think, but more Importantly DO

The workbook is divided into 31 easy-to-follow tasks and step-by-step instruction that you can work through in your own time.

Each step in the workbook contains:

• Teaching – each day you’ll be given in depth instruction on both the WHY and HOW of the task of the day.
  
• A Task – something to DO that step.
  
• Further reading (some chapters) – so you can dive deeper on any task.
  

This approach is designed so that you come away from the challenge having not only learned how to play worship keyboard better, but you’ll have actually achieved something with the knowledge.

Better Worship Keyboard Skills, at your Own Pace, in your Own Way

Originally designed to be followed every day for 31 days, the 31DBWKP can be used in a variety of ways including:

Intense Training – set aside weekends or weeks to go through multiple tasks at once.

• 1 Task a Day – the way I designed it – one day at a time.
  
• 1 Task a Week – take your time with the challenge and tackle one task a week.
  
• Monthly Tasks – build the tasks into your monthly routine.
  
• Occasional Inspiration –dip into 31DBWKP on a more occasional basis – using it on days when you have time or need inspiration.
  
• Gather a group – find a group of like minded keyboardists and take the challenge at the same time.
  

The great thing about 31DBWKP is that you can do it at your own pace and in your own way.

Perfect for Worship Keyboardists who want More from their Playing

31 Days to Better Worship Keyboard Playing is for bloggers at different stages of their playing including:

• You’ve just started serving and don’t really know how to play worship keys correctly
  
• You’ve served for a while but you've stalled in your skills
  
• You’re bored with the way you play after a long time.
  

Note: This e-book is NOT designed for keyboardists who have yet to start serving, nor is it for brand new musicians. It doesn’t cover the fundamental elements of music. This e-book regularly references note names (C, D, E, etc) and music on staff notation to illustrate teaching points.

Take Small Steps to Travel a Great Distance

By the end of the 31 steps you’ll be able to:

• use major scales and broken chords as the main part of your keyboard vocabulary
  
• enhance your harmonies with 7th chords
  
• embellish your melodies with licks and ornaments
  
• perform with a more sensitive tone by using dynamics in phrasing
  
• apply contrast such that your playing sounds interesting and your listeners will be more engaged
  
• play a variety of warm ups before serving
  
• improvise effectively during free worship segments
  
• use your discretion on what non-piano sounds to use for different kinds of worship songs,
  

… and much more.

After the 31 steps you’ll have transformed your worship keys playing into an anointed skill.
