She Was Scared to Play Shout Music… Watch What Happens in Her First Lesson Back (LIVE)

She came back to lessons after 6 years with one goal: "I really, really want to play shout music." She plays for her dad every Sunday in E♭, and shouting felt like a mountain. This is her real first lesson back. It's live, not staged and not edited. In this live gospel organ lesson you'll learn: 🎹 How to get the smooth organ sound (and why piano habits make it choppy) 🎹 Rootless voicings: Cm9 → B♭m9 → A♭maj9 🎹 Preaching chords in E♭: 1 – 3 – 4 – ♭5 – 5 🎹 The blues run every church musician needs 🎹 The 8-bar shout: walking bass, the walk-up and the timed slow-down 🎹 Drawbar settings for shout bass and chords Want the workbook that goes with this lesson? Every SSM student gets their lesson recording, transcript and a full workbook. Enroll at theschoolofmusic.org or call (214) 930-8897.
