You Can Play Piano At Church

The idea of playing piano in church can be daunting for any pianist, even if you’ve played before!
I came from a classical background before I first played in a worship band, and I remember how scared I was to see a chord chart. 😳
But chord charts are amazing, and playing in church is NOT difficult. Here are the basics skills you’ll need to start:
0:00 Intro
0:58 How to read a chord chart
2:31 Major chord formula
4:32 Minor chord formula
5:24 Sus4 chords
7:16 Summary (and sus2 chords)

    Oh also, if anyone is wondering, if you ever see something like "G/B", that means it is a G chord with a B note in the bass (i.e. left hand)

    Hmmm... interesting. I always thought it denoted an inversion... So the normal G chord is G-B-D and I would play G/B as B-D-G, which is the 1st inversion.

    @Lisa, you have a lovely natural singing voice, yet when you play something where you have a natural tendency to sing, you almost shy away and lower your voice. I know of people that are totally the opposite, try to sing and they either do not have a note in their head or ruin their singing by bellowing at the top of their vocal range spoiling their singing. You sing as gracefully as you play and that is a real treasure, to be able to sing and play at the same time is very challenging, yet very rewarding for a natural and gifted artist. :)
