• Integrate added, suspended and extended chords into your playing
  
• Use inversions and alternative voicings for smoother playing
  
• Develop left and right hand rhythm skills to fit the “groove” of the song
  
• Improvise using melodic fills, auxiliary and passing notes
  
• Use string, pads, electric piano and organ sounds
  
• Develop techniques for leading worship as a keyboard player
  
• Choose the right equipment for you
  
• Understand the tools that help you play by ear

2 hours of teaching on each of 3 DVDs including interviews and advice from worship leaders Stuart Townend, Brenton Brown, Vicky Beeching, Tim Neufeld (Starfield), Tommy Walker, Noel Richards, Leeland Moring and Andy Piercy (producer for Delirious? and Graham Kendrick). More...

NEW SONG CAFE AT SADDLEBACK CHURCH
We just finished up a great week at the Saddleback Worship Conference and Festival in Southern California! Tim Hughes, Brenton Brown, Matt Maher, Vicky Beeching and Michael Gungor all led worship in the main sessions and we're able to teach and tell the stories behind their songs in the New Song Cafe sessions.

We'll be hosting these New Song Cafe's at the National Worship Leader Conference in Austin, TX next month as well - we hope to see you there!
