How to play praise music on piano – part A

Hi folks,

In his post I go over how to play Part A of praise music, discussed here. Part A consists of a base run and some notes on the right hand side.

For this exercise we assume we’re in the key of A♭ major.

In A♭ that will be

A C D D E F G G …

then it repeats to the A and cycles on.

It’s easy to play. A base run hinges between the 1 tone (A) and the 5 tone (E) of the key of the key of the song.

So, in the key of A♭ major, you start with the 1 tone A, then you play the 3 notes leading to the 5 tone (C D D), then you play the 5 tone E, then you play the 3 notes leading back to the 1 tone (F G G), then you play the 1 tone and continue.

On the right hand you can play a 13 chord, i.e. a A♭ 13 chord in a rhythmic fashion.

you can also play a pentatonic scale with a ♭3 tone added to it.

You can play a 2 part chord from diminished to major chord.
