Piano Rhythms For Gospel Pianists: Perfect For Intermediate Pianists!
For gospel pianists looking to enhance their playing, focusing on rhythm rather than adding more chords can bring songs to life.
Before delving into the intricacies of rhythm, it's essential to grasp a song's time signature (e.g., 4/4 or 6/8). This understanding is the bedrock of creating your music's right feel and momentum.
In this tutorial, I demonstrate two levels of rhythmic complexity. The first level is designed for those comfortable with basic hand positions, while the second level is more advanced, incorporating a busier left hand. This structure allows you to progress at your own pace and challenge yourself as you see fit.
Practicing exaggerated hand movements at a slower pace can help solidify the rhythm, which can be sped up with more subtle hand movements.
These rhythmic techniques can be applied across various songs, especially those in a 6/8 time signature, to make the music more exciting and dynamic.
