If you've ever wondered what it will take for you to start from scratch and ultimately able to play a full church service without having to rely or hide behind other musicians, this GospelKeys Basic DVD Collection is the answer. It covers every aspect of the church service. Most musicians never fully develop in these areas (or even know how to get started developing their skills in this area).
For example, a typical church service consists of these four musical components: 1) hymns and congregational songs, 2) charismatic praise songs, 3) slow worship, and 4) uptempo shouting music.
The GospelKeys Basic DVD Collection covers every area in depth.
It includes each of the following programs:
GospelKeys 101 - "The Basics & Fundamentals to Playing Gospel Hymns By Ear" - In this 90-minute dvd program, you learn the three steps to playing almost any hymn. Not only do you learn a system that will allow you to play just about any hymn you can imagine, but you're also taught over 7 hymns by the end of the course. It's the best of both worlds. By the end of this 90-minute program, you'll have what it takes to master the first aspect of a church service... and that is the esteemed hymn and congregational song.
GospelKeys 102 - "Harmonization Techniques For Hymns" - This 2-hour dvd program takes you by the hand and shows you how to play hymns learned in the 101 course in all 12 keys. It also gives you a formula for spicing up all your favorite hymns and congregational songs. In total, it covers over 80 chords across 12 major keys and introduces 7 systematic strategies for spicing up any song.
GospelKeys 202 - "Mastering Worship Chords" - In this 5-hour dvd program, you'll learn everything you need to know to play slow and beautiful worship music. And from the looks of today's church service, there seems to be a huge shift towards worship. While people love praise and uptempo music, there has been a universal call for more worship and that is why this course is ever so important for anyone wanting to learn gospel music. This course is a must-have if you want to play for your church, improve your current playing, or just enhance your own personal devotion. (Oh, did I mention that you actually learn several worship songs like "Hallelujah," "Thank You Lord," "I Really Love The Lord," and more.)
GospelKeys 300 - "Exploring Praise Songs & Charismatic Styles" - This 2-hour dvd program takes you to church... hand-clapping and foot-stomping style! If you've ever wanted to master the classic praise songs like "God Is A Good God," "Have You Tried Jesus," "What A Mighty God We Serve," and others, then you'll be thrilled by what this program covers. You'll learn 5 easy steps to playing just about every type of praise song that's sung in the church. No technique is left out. From the walking bass run on your left hand to the individual chords to play on your right hand, everything is covered in great detail. By the end of this course, you'll be well versed in what it takes to drive a praise service... guaranteed.
GospelKeys 500 - "Experiencing Uptempo Shouting Music" - This is the element that usually exposes an inexperienced gospel musician. Often times, when the church is ready for a jubilant "shouting" period, most musicians just don't know what to do. Some musicians even hinder the service by avoiding shouting music altogether. You'll never have this problem after watching this 2-hour dvd program because it will hold you by the hand and show you the necessary steps to conquer shouting music. The ability to play shouting music is not only a great enhancement to your playing but it is a requirement. There's two types of gospel musicians: Those that know how to drive a shouting period and those that don't. If you don't, it will ultimately lead to an uncomfortable or even embarrassing moment. Don't worry, you'll be fine after mastering this program.
Bonus - ChristmasKeys Volume 1 - "Conquering Christmas Classics" (delivered online) - This 2-hour online video program will teach you everything you need to know to start playing Christmas songs by ear. You'll learn, step-by-step, how to pick out the melodies of famous Christmas songs, how to choose the right chords to accompany these melodies, and how to spice up your chords and progressions to create full-sounding arrangements of your favorite holiday songs!
