MUCL 3512 - Leading Worship from the Piano

Credits: 2 Spring

This course will deal with four major issues of leading corporate worship from the piano: confident piano playing that supports congregational singing: healthy vocal production while playing and leading: flexibility in leading from a piano or electronic keyboard: and general skills in worship leadership. Students will refine worship leading skills with and without the piano. Students will learn how to play and lead from 4-part hymn scores, lead sheets, and chord charts of current worship repertoire. The difficulty level of music chosen will keep with the student’s demonstrated ability and experience. Laboratory is required.

Prerequisites: Junior/Senior standing or Piano Proficiency required.
