News and updates Gospel Musician Course Welcome to Sam's Gospel Music Course . This is a FREE online course, my way of giving back the skill and experience God has given to me. The course is totally self-paced so there's no need to rush through the course lessons and information. There are many of you who are first time musicians and have been picking up tips here and there from other musicians and the internet. Some are experienced musicians who want to enhance the skill they currently have. The style I teach is traditional gospel incorporating the hymns, gospel and classical jazz styles I learned in my youth and applied to the music I play. I don't teach the number system and I don't knock it, I just never learned to play music using that method. I hope to make that system a little more useful in your everyday playing. I'm big on playing melody and chords so most of the course will emphasis on practicing scales, chords and patterns then applying them to melody lines of standard selections sung in church. With the aid of youtube videos I will have more formal lessons for advanced musicians to study. I encourage everyone to use the reference materials that will be updated as the course goes on. Feel free to visit all the above links however, begin the course in the workbook and then go to the above links for: New Musicians - will work primary out of the workbook lessons and new musicians course link above. Intermediate musicians - will work out of the workbook and the various course links above. Advanced musicians - will use the various course links and youtube videos. We will cover simulated Hammond organ techniques for organists using videos from our files and youtube clips. My desire of this course is that you have fun! Music should be enjoyable to learn and then play so, don't feel like you're not getting anywhere musically. I'm here to assist you get to where you need to be in support of the local church where you minister. If you have access to a video camera device feel free to share with me your practice sessions via youtube so that I might make recommendations as your instructor. Register by emailing us your name, church you attend and instrument you play. Click on the image to view our course workbook or download using the right click and save.
