It’s not always clear when it comes to playing the keyboard for worship. Do you play a melody, improvise, provide rhythm, or a little of everything? The Beginners Worship Keyboards Course, by  Musicademy, delivers a fresh new approach to learning keyboards which shows you exactly what to do and when.

The Beginners Worship Keyboards Course is built upon a chords-based playing method and is contained on four DVD’s. The lessons are taught using well known worship songs and hymns in different keys using major, minor, and slash chords to deliver that modern, contemporary sound. The approach is simple, yet very effective.

I like this course for many, many, many reasons. First, I love the DVD’s. They are very well shot and you can go to their main website and download all of the chord charts. Second, there are tips and hints from, Matt Redman, Brenton Brown, Vicky Beeching, and many others. Third, the songs are well known modern songs that are used today in praise and worship music. The songs also have backing tracks with vocals and a guitarist playing right along with you.

Conclusion:

Lesson Materials – The lesson materials are great. All four DVD’s fit in one DVD box. The chord charts are located at their main website which is convenient to me.

Rating:

Lesson Instruction – Chord based piano playing is very different from melodic playing. They do a terrific job of presenting the material in a clear beginner style approach. The piano lessons start very slow and once a solid foundation is laid you’re able to move along at a comfortable pace. The lessons are also shot with a clear overhead view of the keyboard so you can see everything the instructor is doing.

Fun Factor – These are awesome when it comes to fun. It’s not always easy to find a band to practice with. These DVD’s give you just that. The best part I found was the song selections. If you are into praise and worship music you’ll know these songs and you’ll have a blast playing them.

Rating:

Value – The box set with all four beginners DVD’s can be had for under $100 or you can purchase them separately for about $30 each. The course is structured for a years’ worth of piano lessons. I think they are worth every last penny!

The Beginners Worship Keyboards Course is a thorough and pleasurable look at playing worship keyboards as a chord based instrument. It will leave you at an advanced beginner level but you do not have to fear because they have a follow up course for the intermediate level.

This box set gets a 10 from me. The instructional material is solid and presented in an enthusiastic manner. The songs are inspiring. The skills learned are indispensible. If you’ve always wondered how to play worship piano with a band or how to accompany a singer then this is it. If you feel the need to have every piano lesson offered on the block then this will be sure to impress as well.
