I recently went to a Christian concert with some friends and it started a

to try today to explain my thoughts.
I have a piano lesson once a month for two hours. I went yesterday and came away feeling a bit discouraged at how much I need to learn.
A church pianist typically has no more important job than that of accompanying congregational singing. Here are some thoughts about that function.
I want to give you something today that I really, really like. It sounds amazing and is easy to do so pay careful attention. We are going to be playing with the song “Just As I Am.”
Many of you have written me emails about modulations and several had a similar theme. Mods are good when upping the intensity such as the upward movement by a half step at the end of a song. I get it and I agree. But…
Modulations are very common in church music and especially in piano arrangements. But are they necessary?
I got some feedback last week about some music I had played at an event a
few months ago. Apparently, someone complained to the venue that I was
“outside of the box” and played music that “sounded like it belonged in
a night club.”
