piano keyboards

[boford]

Any of ya here play the keyboards or piano? I just got me a nice keyboard and wanting to learn to play some of the stuff we do at church p&w stuff. I can read sheet music and play the piano and know a few cords. Also know a little on the organ since i have one right now. But anytime i see a song they play at church i cant figure out how it play cause they will just have the words with the cords ontop and i have no clue how you play it

We'll need a little more info in order to give you some good advice. Maybe this will suffice for now:

1) You'll need to become familiar with the tune. This can be done before or during practice.

2) You'll need to become more proficient in learning to play chords at sight. This will involve practice on your own time. Learn to play major, minor, seventh, and diminished chords, and learn to transition smoothly from one chord to the next. There is quick way to pick things up; practice is an integral part of music performance.

3) For a keyboard player, less is more. Do not overpower the vocals by breaking up the chords too much or being too fancy.

I realize that the latter is more of an arranging/ performing preference, but I thought I'd just throw it in there.

Another suggestion, did you talk to the head of the band/orchestra/music department (whatever your church calls it) about your interest in learning p&w songs? How about if you ask if they would teach you the songs you are interested in learning or refer you to someone who could? Maybe you could just hang out with them at practice time? Talk to the people at church.

Also, If none of the sheet music for the songs you are interested in are on that site I provide for you above, then of course, there are plenty of music stores that sell sheet music, ranging from easy to a full music scores. Oh, and have you considered taking lessons to advance your skills?
