Synopsis

Keyboard Worship Book 2 is an “intermediate to moderately advanced” piano book. It’s intended for all adults, college students, and teenagers looking for practical help playing the piano or a synth in a Christian worship setting with a band, any ensemble, or alone. It should be ideal for those with smaller hands, for I too have a relatively small hand.

Book 2 deals with contemporary harmony. It is an in-depth exploration of new chord colors such as various drones, added second chords, sus chords, quartal chords, "four over five" chords, even rootless chords. Learn effective ways to “voice” them so they sound really good and resonate. Develop your own contemporary keyboard language, begin to “think in music,” improvise, and be more creative.

Get the unique sound shapes into your fingers! I’ll be your coach. If you have a teacher, that’s even better, but if you don’t the book is designed to be self-explanatory. Learn how these new sounds function. Understand music theory. A friendly, running commentary communicates what is going on musically, breaking down concepts into small, achievable chunks. A special introduction to Nashville Numbers is also included.

This material was generated at Biola University in LA. It was devised for our worship majors, our classical piano performance majors, and our composers who want create their own stuff.

Practice and performance audio MP3 tracks of all examples and arrangements -- for each book—are freely available at worshipinfo.com. Books 3A and 3B in the Worship Series explore the harmonic universe in more detail, fleshing out an impressive range of techniques and possibilities, even ideas for arranging. Check them out!

Book 2 has 224 pages and over 300 music examples. Included are 5 arrangements with piano parts for playing along with a professional band and singer. The piano parts feature a moderately paced gospel shuffle, fast upbeat gospel, country stylings, and a classical piece. Also, basic charts are provided so you can be creative and improvise freely with the band.

Book 2 is an earnest, whole-hearted effort intentionally priced cheaply (for a book of this size and depth) to bless all thirsty keyboardists. All book sales are donated to “Vikasitha Ministries,” an outreach, evangelical leadership ministry supporting orphaned children and seminary students in India.
