The Secret To Modern Piano For Worship
I’ll get right to the point.
If you want to play piano in modern worship, there’s one primary word to help you: LESS.
Sometimes when I’m worshiping at the piano, my kids will join in. Here, Clementine was sitting on my lap...singing (read: melting her Dad’s heart!) With one hand, I played. The other was wrapped around her.
Two little things I’ll pull from this:
When you play with a band, play with only one hand most of the time
When you’re leading a congregation, remember moments of intimacy like these with innocent-hearted worshipers
In simple love and pure devotion to Jesus,

Pps. The song we were singing was the Sisterbrother classic “You Are Faithful.”
Ppps. I cropped the big pile of laundry on the couch to make us look more “together.”
Pppps. The piano I’m playing was the second piano that Presbyterian churches have given me.
Ppppps. If you have kids and can, please sing with them...even if it’s with a recording or a cappella.
