Emotional Worship Piano Music | 10,000 Reasons by Matt Redman
#pianoworship #worshipinstrumental #christianpiano
10,000 Reasons [Bless the Lord] is sung by Matt Redman and was co-written with Swedish singer, Jonas Myrin. This piano arrangement is improvised and based on my wanderings while playing with chord charts that we often use for worship music.
I share the music of contemporary piano composers and hope to inspire piano teachers in their teaching journey with creative, practical and inspiring videos that will add encouragement to their piano teaching journey and equip you to build a sustainable career as a music educator.

Improvised Worship Piano ⚠️ Mistakes Included
zhlédnutí 29Před 9 hodinami
I challenged myself to play improvised worship piano in the key of E major with no preparation. I usually play with chords and lyrics in front of me, but know I can stretch into new things, so here I go. I gave myself no other rules, but to stay in E major, to improvise and to try to find some different worship songs that fit into this improvised piano style. It turned out pretty retro and incl...
In Christ Alone (Keith Getty) Improvised Worship Piano
zhlédnutí 215Před dnem
In Christ Alone by Keith Getty is a powerful worship song of hope and faith. This improvised piano solo comes from me thinking through the lyrics and is me pondering out loud at the piano as I think of the gift of life and ponder the hard realities of death as well, but with hope for eternity. "Till He returns, or calls us home." I hope this improvised piano brings hope and courage your way. Th...
Learn This Piano Solo for Late Elementary Piano [How Great Thou Art]
zhlédnutí 78Před 14 dny
"Then Sings My Soul" is a late elementary piano solo arrangement of "How Great Thou Art". The original is by Stuart K. Hine and based on a Traditional Swedish Tune. I arranged this tune with the challenge of utilizing the 2 octave C major scale as a way of moving up and down the octaves. I kept the left hand harmonies simpler to complement the movement in the right hand. I hope you'll enjoy lis...

What Can We Learn from RayGun About the Cost of Creativity?
zhlédnutí 44Před 14 dny
#stagefright #olympicbreaking #creativerisks In this video I ponder 'dangerous creativity' and what creative risk taking looks like in 2024. The Olympics are a bold example of bold risk taking and with the added pressure of a world-wide audience. Creative risk taking is a big ask in a world that finds it easy to shame the attempts of others. Where do you think that line should be between a thou...
Sweet Jasmine by Dennis Alexander [Level 1 RCM Piano Repertoire]
zhlédnutí 43Před 21 dnem
Sweet Jasmine by Dennis Alexander is found in the Level 1 RCM Piano Repertoire Book in the 6th edition. This beautiful waltz is a gentle, expressive piece for students who enjoy lyrical phrasing, gentle tempo shifts and legato pedalling. Take care with smaller hands as they need to shift to an octave and release the hand to not add tension. This is a great piece to look for 'hidden' triads harm...

He’s a wonderful artist with such a unique sound!

Yes! You spotted those two in the mix! Yes, good reminder!

I have one of her books and use it for my students. It is called " Miyabi". This is very nice too!
Oh that's really neat that you have one of her books! I was so lucky to come across this one in the RCM Level 7 book - I really love it!
Such a lovely piece!
Beautifully played Amie! ❤
Thank you. I so enjoy this style of playing and this truth filled hymn. 🎹❤️
Love this!!
Thank you. I so love this song and getting to just find my way through in an improvised style. Thanks for listening!
The issue is, the wrestles do those moves (& more) as a warm-up. It's embarrassing & disrepeful towars athletes & even the culture. Some stuff is just inappropriate. Why she didn't do it in Black Face. That would be brave.
That’s interesting to hear of a possible tie in with wrestling warm up moves. Yes, thankful no blackface. Lots to unpack for sure. Thanks for listening in.
This the quick chord sheet I used from Ultimate Guitar tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/keith-getty/in-christ-alone-chords-1161935
Lovely arrangement! So beautiful. 👏👏🎶♥️
Thank you, Lisa! It was fun to think of that C major scale as a travelling companion to the melody! ;)
@@MotifMusicStudios really nice! 👍♥️ 🎶
You are the sweetest - thank you!
@@MotifMusicStudios 🥰❤🎶
So beautiful to hear your story. Thank you for the encouragement! ❤️
Such an honour to share and I know it takes so much to build 'creative resilience' so often! I feel like I may have seen your "Whimsically Macabre Music" music just a few minutes ago on the Piano Pronto website! Is that you? I was just smiling at the "Not So Happy Birthday".
@@MotifMusicStudios It really does, some days harder than others to keep replenishing the creative resilience! Yes, that’s me, haha, I saw your comment there and then followed some other link that brought me here, so thank you for commenting! 😁❤️
Oh, that is so wonderful! I just was doing a deep dive of your materials, as you have some super special sounds that will resonate with students and build new curiosity for how individual each music and composer is! So glad we found each other - thanks for being here! I just added your "Jumping Spiders" to cart - it's FUNtastic and I have a student in mind to introduce it to!
@@MotifMusicStudios Oh yay, thank you so much, and I hope your student enjoys Jumping Spiders! Fun fact you may or may not want to share with them: that piece was inspired by learning about the mating rituals of jumping spiders, which are quite fascinating, I’ll just leave it at that, haha. So glad to be here, and excited to explore more!
HAHA. I adore that! I do have a few very nerd-esque students with equally 'fun nature fact' parents who may love this little tidbit. Bahaha. It will make me smile extra big to myself whilst playing. ;)
Great arrangement for the late beginner.
Thank you, Donna! I am having such fun stretching my creative muscles into new territories. Always honoured to have you listening in!

Thank you! I've had such fun with celebrating the music of contemporary composers. Thanks for joining for some piano enthusiasm!
Nice!
Thank you, Leila! Fun to explore some easier ones that may fit well for students exploring Sunday School favourites!
Very sweet! Nice arrangement, Amie!
That’s so kind! New explorations for me, but so fun! Thank you!
Such a good video!! I agree completely ❤
Thank you! It was such a challenging ponder to me, but I had lots of fun thinking of that 'big picture' of creativity and risk taking! Thanks for listening in! <3 <3
Sheet Music Available Here: www.sheetmusicdirect.com/en-US/se/ID_No/1599078/Product.aspx
This was such fun to re-imagine a gentle arrangement of the Sunday School classic!
This updated syllabus is brimming with lovely pieces for each level! I am enjoying playing through the series!
Great thoughts! The reality is that everyone is a critic, because everyone has opinions. Could they do better? Maybe, maybe not. I remind students before recitals that I've never had someone come up to them at a performance (at least not a judged performance) and start telling the musician specifically where they made mistakes. But it's about doing it because you love doing it and you enjoy performing.
Those are some great reminders! It's great to think critically in some ways and it was interesting to give this some time to ponder! Thanks for listening!
Fun! Sounds great!
It’s such a fun piano to play!
Thanks! 🙂
Most welcome! I hope it brought some courage for the journey!
Flowers Piano Tutorial Visuals & Lyrics tinyurl.com/flowerstutorial I would love to know if you find this video helpful in creating your own piano accompaniment for this song.
I would love to know if you learn to play this one! Ask away if you have any questions along the way!
But I think I am a true imposter. My play list now is little over two hours and I play it ever day and add new songs all the time. But, I don't know how to play any of it with out Pianovision a VR app that links to my mini. Like for reals I cant hit 3 notes in a row when the headset of off. I want to play for reals reals.
There are such innovative ways now to create music with neat visuals. I've spotted the VR app before - that's wild and a whole new skill. The cool thing is that it can still bring such healthy endorphins your way and boost creativity and coordination - a great leap into other modes of creativity! You've got this!
Nice!
Thank you! This was such a fun REMIX to play!
Bravo Amie! 👏👏👏👏
Thank you, Biljana! Such new territory for me, but I had such fun!
Lovely piece by Dennis Alexander, I always loved his pieces and have several books all different levels. Thanks for sharing your delicate and beautiful performance, Amie!
Thank you, Donna! So thrilled you have a collection by Dennis Alexander as well. He's such a wonderful musical voice in the composing community!
Great info. Thanks for sharing
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks so much for sharing your story!
You are welcome! <3
It's been lovely to explore these Level 1 pieces - all such thoughtful additions to this 6th edition!
