  • This worship piano improv was a suggestion by Arianna [another wonderful piano teacher] and I absolutely loved listening to it yesterday and then leaping right into some piano improvising and recording it!
    Here's "Yet Not I But Through Christ in Me" and I listened to the CityAlight version that I will link below as well.
    The lyrics in this one are so thought provoking and faith filled.
    I really loved the line,
    "The night is dark but I am not forsaken
    For by my side, the Savior he will stay."
    Looking for lyrics and chords, you can spot some here:
    worshipchords....
    Often when I am improvising, I think of the words and ways that I can add subtle musical ideas that reflect them.
    Sometimes it's just dynamic shifts, other times I might play in different octaves or with different textures depending on what I am feeling in the lyrics.
    If I am playing with a singer, I will try not to double the voice line [unless I hear they need support], but if playing on my own, I usually add the melody, but sometimes take little detours on purpose or if I get distracted that's bound to happen to.
    I played this one in C major and it's a terrific one to explore for worship style pianists on your own or along students.
    There are many ways to explore improvising at the piano and I feel like I always have so much to learn.
    Have a favourite piece you'd love me to add to my improvising collection? I'd love to hear about it!
    I haven't done as much improvising in the past few years and it's something I am adding back into my time at the piano!

      Oh, thank you so much! I can't believe I hadn't heard it before and was so thrilled when someone mentioned it. I was chuckling that my percussive nature took over in this one [lol] but smiled thinking that sometimes it takes that to keep congregational music moving if playing without a full band! LOL. Thanks for listening in.
