HOW TO APPLY SCALE TONE CHORDS IN HYMNS, JAZZ STANDARDS, POP SONGS OR ANY OTHER SONGS

1. Play melody using your right hand (R.H.).

2. Play the chords using your left hand (L.H.).

3. Play the chords on your L.H. and the melody on your right.

4. Play the melody and try to harmonize it using the notes of the corresponding chord on your R.H.

5. Play the melody together with the harmony on your R.H. and on your L.H., play the bass in octave.

6. Play the melody and harmony on your R.H. while arpeggiating the chord on your left (if necessary).

7. Play the melody in octaves while adding the inner voices (the remaining notes of the chords which are not being played) on your R.H. while arpeggiating the chord on your left (if necessary).

8. Use chords arpeggiation on your right hand (ascending or descending) as fill-in for long extended notes or chords.

9. The important thing is to know the melody and the chords of the song you are playing and to coordinate the right and left hand to play the song. And that’s the fun in reading sheet music – there’s no left hand pattern to read. You are free to create your own music!!! Feel free to experiment which left hand patterns to use in a specific song, try playing different rhythms, explore the chords, try different inversions of chords, and don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Some good music are created because of accidental mistakes on the melody. Remember, perfect practice makes perfect!

Jazz is the music of the moment" - John Scofield (guitarist)

"In Jazz, improvisation isn't a matter of just making any ol' thing up. Jazz, like any language, has its own grammar and vocabulary. There's no right or wrong, just some choices that are better than others." - Wynton Marsalis

"Anyone can make the simple complicated. Creativity is making the complicated simple." - Charles Mingus

"In fifteen seconds the difference between composition and improvisation is that in composition you have all the time you want to decide what to say in fifteen seconds, while in improvisation you have fifteen seconds." - Steve Lacy

"A Jazz musician is a juggler who uses harmonies instead of oranges." - Benny Green

"The real power of Jazz... is that a group of people can come together and create... improvised art and negotiate their agendas... and that negotiation is the art" - Wynton Marsalis from 'Jazz, a film by Ken Burns.'

"Music is not an occupation. It's a profession. I always looked on it as being a little higher than a job, and to be involved with it you have to have what I call dedication..." - Oscar Peterson (jazz pianist)
Jazz is an art of improvising from within(Your Musical vocabulary) whatever has been taken in over the years. (Pianistsegz2014)

what do you mean by 'Eiya'? The churches I play for usually offer to pay me and I'll agree but After church service I'll disappear. There are Implications in Requesting for money to serve God. And besides the only ocassions where I collect money are during Wedding Receptions.
I'm glad you mentioned this, bro. A lot of instrumentalists don't know this, but the fact is that it's spiritually wrong to collect money for services rendered to a church, except, as you said, wedding ceremonies. Many instrumentalists don't know this, but they're never 'balanced', as in they never get to do anything tangible with the money. It goes out way faster than it comes in, there will always be insurmountable bills. And, neither the church nor the Pastor would ever be truly 'grateful' for the service, because it's paid for-what that means is that, you won't ever get their heart-felt, spiritual blessings, which is most important to better your lot in life, than the money you collect weekly or monthly. Never undermine the effect of a truly called and ordained pastor' (or prophet's) deeply felt love and prayers for you. If he(pastor or prophet) as much as thinks of you and feels glad in his soul and spirit whenever he does so, God will remember you and bless you more. Because he would know you're contributing in no small measure to his church, following your own calling (music+instruments) passionately, and the fact that he doesn't have to pay you for it means he (and his angels) will always be at peace with you and love you, thereby desiring only the best for you.

Welldone just decided to shed more light on ur understanding of what u are talking about.
Good day...I'm a Pianist/keyboard since 2004...11yrs and also a child of God. I don't follow d multitude but rather follow the word of God. Now to d matter...collecting money in church or anyhow all depends on many factors number one is ur mindset..and motive...u can be paid and dat will not be ur motive for playing in dat church, but dat might just be to help you financially let's stop deceiving ourselves and face truth...my house to my church is a 3 vehicle journey to get dere I've been dere since 2009 and Ave always been paid T.fare just enough for my transport now will u call dat salary to...mba dats misconceptions...it's just to help me while I run d service for God since den I've been blessed by God in all rounds no be small...my prayers are always answered even before I pray sometimes I hear from God well what's d secret my mind is not in d money but in d service I love d services I'm rendering more Dan d money I don't fight to get it. it's comes at its time. Dats me I Ave people dat collect salaries on piano, organ and Co and dey are blessed...dey are better on d instruments and people even bless dem more in d church. dat applies to me to
Answer dis questions before I go sir?
Do Pastors get paid or not?
Read the bible well the Levies were engaged in d days of David to provide skillful, melodious and professional music in d church...Bro dey were paid ooo...it's a matter of ur mind sir
Finally we Asked dat question from a great Man of God from the north (@NCCF 1st bi-annual state conference OSUN STATE CHAPTER )committed MOG and he answered us wit d questions I asked u..if pastors get paid if ur instrumentalist need it for welfare do say pay dem to...one of d reasons y the word of God says do not judge is becoz he knows most people will always get it wrong leave the guys to God...let everybody do d right thing but don't condemn anybody even d holy spirit corrects he doesn't condemn Pastors dat are blessed pau instrumentalist well and are happy with dem. example Daystar in Lagos and dose guys are doing fine and better off...Remain blessed

Bro, I appreciate all your responses and I like them, but I can't begin to address each and every sentence you made in error of your judgement of my submission. I don't remember condemning anyone for collection of salary. I only expantiated on the spiritual consequence(s) of 'demanding' before rendering God's services. And, it's entirely my opinion, don't take it too much to heart.
I'm happy you mentioned the welfare aspect. Many organised churches will appreciate your services by taking care of your t-fare+refreshments in church, even without you telling them, as an instrumentalist. If you demand such, it would be provided and with courtesy too. Demanding or being paid a salary, however, is a different thing entirely. What that does, in my opinion, is strip you of the spiritual benefits of rendering that service, and it would appear you have already 'received your rewards'. You made mention of the fact that God answers your prayers even before praying and He meets your needs in manifolds, that's because you're not demanding a statutory salary for the work rendered, rather, you're being encouraged in your attendance and ministry. You can not and should not compare a pastor's calling to that of an instrumentalist. I won't tow that line of argument with you.
Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by Pianistsegz200(m): 12:20pm On Mar 18, 2015
Appreciate ur Gentle Man and matured reply without looking at some side of it anyway...yea but an church instrumentalist is much more higher in d spiritual realm Dan u think . Read d book of 1 Samuel 16:14-23 and d books of 1&2 kings all together u will see what and which level of understanding u are to operate...anyway our country here has also contributed to some of our mindset which are not up to d task..im not comparing a pastor to an instrumentalist but we are one body d leg can't move when d head is gone and vice versa...I don't wanna start quoting scriptures here it's not a bible class. The second point is as much as I might want to agree with u as much as I wanna say sometimes if dey demand to Pls pay to encourage dem talking to MOGS anyway by not aving dis understanding and maturity d devil has won d church so many times and we are busy following irrelevant protocols and ideas and so on
1. Terry G started in church, D banj nice drummer and so many one of our best Pianist in Nigeria is now in d hip hop world u need to ask what's really happening so what are we evangelising u are depopulating d house of God coz of penny dat u will pay dis guys and den blindly following protocols dat God has not ordained...let is all reason together this matter is a serious issue...it depend on ur exposure but from d little I Ave seen d church is not really getting it right...u are training people for d devil is dat what sent us to do...it's better to go back to d beginning and retrace ourself...it's spiritually ok and correct to pay dis guys let dem stay hear more of d Word..God knows how to touch everybody's heart better Dan any one of us...our plenty words can't even touch an insect and following some of dis principles will depopulate d good guys away from local churches into d wrong hands who will pay dem well...I Ave guys in Poly Ibadan bad Jazzist dey don't even go to church at all dey play in club mehn u can't compete wit dis guys dey are crazy on dere instrument but is it dat God doesn't need dem. no no no d church sent dem away against d teaching of Jesus...let's drop every opinion and protocols and follow d word,scripture and teaching s of our Lord Jesus christ
