Dear Fellow Gospel Musician,
 

k I know you are at a point now where you are about to EXPLODE!  You have been practicing and practicing to get better, but it seems like all of your hard work is not paying off.  You are frustrated and you feel like quitting because of it.  As you continue to see so many musicians that are able to understand and play the things you want to play, you can't understand why it's so difficult for you to understand.

First of all, you have to realize that ... You are not alone!

Believe it or not, many musicians ALL OVER THE WORLD feel the same way.  People even go and seek out professional piano lessons from a traditional teacher because they can't find anyone RELIABLE enough to teach them how to play Gospel.  The only problem is that traditional piano lessons focuses on reading primarily and NOT PLAYING BY EAR.  Being able to play the piano by ear is a respected skill that has to be nurtured.


Just as with any other respected craft there IS a method to playing the piano,  keyboard, and organ.   Many times the problem that musicians have is not that they don't practice enough, but the method that they were introduced to didn't work.   In order for you to get the most out of your learning experience, you have to have a method that was designed for your success.

 

 "I always get nervous when we have revivals or programs that invite other churches, because they always bring their young musicians to play... "

Music is primarily an aural skill.  That means that if you have been playing for any length of time, you should be able to play at least something by ear ... even if it's only Mary had a Little Lamb.  As you increase your length of playing time, you will find that are able to play more things by ear.  My cousin, who is an older musician said this to me,

"I always get nervous when we have revivals or programs that invite other churches, because they always bring their young musicians to play and many of them at times seem like their showing off and not really trying to support the movement of God in the service.  But they sound GREAT!"

Unfortunately this is the case in many churches, they have settled for musicians that can just play versus those that really have a heart for the church.  My cousin also said to me,

"After the service, when you ask them how they got to where they were and that you would love to take lessons, they always blow me off by saying that they don't have anything to teach me and that I'm doing good by myself.   If that was the case, I wouldn't have asked them for lessons!!"

This is another unfortunate reality in many churches.   There are many musicians who have obviously reached a plateau in their music where they could certainly be a benefit to someone else.   The only problem is that they are so paranoid that someone is going to take their job, that they don't want to share anything.  My high school science teacher told me,

"If you teach something to someone else, you ultimately increase your own knowledge about that subject."

This is soooo true!!!

The BEST way to increase your knowledge is to teach it to someone else.  This is true because it forces you to go over your subject matter over and over again until you know it like the back of your hand.  Also it makes you feel good inside when the people you've taught and encouraged come back to tell you the successes they've had.  This is why I'm so trilled about music and education.  I know that by helping you to get where you are, I am really helping myself.   If you are mature enough to understand this, read further so we can help you unlock the mysteries of reaching your musical goals.

 

"Introducing Producer, Musician, Educator, and friend Paul Whitley..."

Paul Whitley was born with a curiosity and thirst for music. He was raised in the church and started playing piano and organ at the age of 16 when his father asked him “If I ever become a pastor , will you play for me?" Of course Paul said “Yes”.  Since then Paul has been on the move with his service to the church and to fellow musicians that want to increase their level of musicianship.

Currently, Paul is an accomplished musician and producer whose work can be found on many gospel projects in stores today.  He's had the opportunity to cross the paths of musicians such as Kevin Bond and Donald Lawrence.  He has also has a great passion for music that shows in his production AND teaching.

I am very grateful to have Paul on the team because he brings years of teaching and playing experience to the table.  GospelSkillz.com is about more than just playing, it's about building integrity and professionalism in musicians.   To make yourself stand out from the crowd, you MUST possess these qualities to be truly successful in music.

In 5 Hours, Learn the secrets that took musicians Years to Learn!

 

  • How to play and UNDERSTAND Chords and their Structures.  (Major, Minor, Dominant, Diminished, Fourths, and "JAZZ" Chords)  It is very important to intimately know your chords so that you will have greater control over them when you play.

     

  • How to play and UNDERSTAND Progressions.  This included the famous "Number System".  When a musician says, "Go to the 7 - 3 - 6 - 2 - 5 - 1..." you should know exactly what that means and be able to react INSTANTLY!!

     

  • What and how to play in a church service.  As a musician, you must be in tune with the service so that what you do adds to the overall effectiveness and not detracts.  You should know how to use your gift to help facilitate a WORSHIP environment AND you should be able to drive a service towards PRAISE.

     

  • How to learn songs by ear.  Playing by ear is a skill that has to be practiced.  You must train your ear to listen for certain aspects of the music so that you can recreate it in your playing.  The better you get at this skill, the quicker you can learn more songs for your choir or praise team.

     

  • How to play and communicate in a band setting.  Anytime you bring a group together, there is always the possibility of confusion.  To be an effective band leader, you must take command and demonstrate to your band that you driving the ship.  This leads to great respect from fellow musicians.
