Why don't you make a video?

gameboi:
not all phones support avi format.

Karleb:


Ok. Why don't you upload it on YouTube then? Because from there, everyone can download it with any format using http://en.savefrom.net


My phone supports avi format anyways.

gameboi:
okay. But making a video is a huge task.
Were you still able to download the praise audio?

what's yanni scale? Did you study music?

gameboi:
The Passing chord that is used when Moving to the fifth of any scale is derived from the 2-5-1 progression.
In the key of F( F G A Bb C D E F), the second note(which is always a Minor) is G while the Fifth note is C. Hence the movement is Gminor - Cmajor- Fmajor. But when a passing chord should is added, it becomes 2-2maj-5-1. i.e, the Minor is changed to a major before moving to the fifth.
Gminor- Gmaj-Cmaj-Fmaj.
I've heard this passing chord being used in various songs and trust me, It doesn't sound bad .

The other methods of moving to the fifth using passing chords are beyond the scope of this post 'cos it involves ear and brain work.

.....the best thing to do is to learn the practical aspect first....cos dats de main thing u must display....knowing only the names of the keys,the major nd sharps and all doz musical terms cant do no good without de skills...

Lol. So you are telling me as an amateur organist to begin by playing bach's contrapuntal pieces before learning basic things like reading music or even sight-playing. .. ?

@Estarkeys
You're right but In My Opinion, the theorical aspect makes one more creative and gives the confidence to try out something new.
I remember when I used to play only on keyC and keyF. Hmm! I quarrelled a Lot with the singers after service especially if they couldn't hold on to a particular key. Was it their fault?
I had to stay-off playing the keyboard for 3months just to download E-books on playing the keyboard and learn the theorical aspect. When I returned? The rest is history.

zbone:

Psamuels:

TK16:
Decided to follow this thread. Cos I play keyboard in my church. Dnt knw much though... Am here to learn more

gameboi:
Lol
do you know that awkward moment when the chorister changes to an unknown key and you're like ''which kind winchi be this one?'' then other choristers would be lost and you'd get exposed. The keyboard had a transpose function but most times, it would be tough to change keys in seconds. And as a good keyboardist the proper thing to do is to modulate.

I remember when I was learning how to pick the key of a song, there was dis tym the singer finished singing the song, I still had not found the key, speak of embarrassing.....

gameboi:
hahaha! Lolz.
when I found myself in such cases, I used to reduce the volume of the keyboard to the level where only I can hear it and then move my fingers over the keys. You need to see my face, I'd be seriousiy playing anything at that time . God knows I wasn't playing anything that relates at all, but It helped in avoiding the embarrassment

Yedo whats ur question

Yedo whats ur question

gameboi:
.
What is it?

Karleb:


What's up with all those "it involves ear and brain works"?

gameboi:

the idea behind forming them is using tension and relief. You need to play a chord that sounds wicked to the ear and then move on to another chord that will appease the ear. If not, all eyes would be on you. Most times I do them instinctively
Let's do it this way. I'll give some chords with a passing chord(in bold leters)in between, then you'll play it and tell me the chord that eases the tension.
KeyF#
Left Hand | Right Hand
G# | G# C Eb
Bb | Bb C# F
D | Bb D F
------- | -----------
Fill in the ------- with a suitable chord.
