- UPDATE: FULL COURSE on this topic here: vorkinkmusic.carrd.co/
Due to the positive feedback we've gotten on this video, we've decided to create a course that could dive deeper on these topics. If you're interested, please visit vorkinkmusic.carrd.co/ and put in your email!
Are you looking to add a little spice to the hymns? Then you've come to the right place! In this series we're going to show you exactly how to take what's written in the hymnbook (or really any other piano accompaniment) and turn it into beautiful music that's great for meetings, prelude, or solos.
This series will best hope those who can already play the hymns.
We're members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, so we'll be using that hymnbook, but these principles apply beyond that.

This is exactly what I am looking for. I’ve been mastering playing hymns by chords (left hand) since pandemic. I am not at the level I want myself to be, and recently got asked to play hymns for sacrament meeting this week. I don’t have much variety yet with my style. I just do 1-3-5. But I want to put more variations to it like what you’ve covered in this video. Thank you for sharing!
We love comments like this! So glad it helped.
Im looking for this for the long time. Thnks God and thnk you both.
This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you guys!
Very interesting. Thanks for the information. It's very appreciated.
I hope to be noticed by you, brother and sister. I am also a member of the church. I so love your videos!
Glad I found you guys
Thanks for your precious tips! Please, make that video on reharmonization!
I need personal classes of this 😂 I can't do that by myself 😅
Great teachers
Hey! I'm a Southern Baptist accompanist and the tips you shared in this video were great. I'm looking into starting a small one-hour course at a camp this summer that will try to teach students how to take hymns and turn them into good accompaniment for our congregational singing. Not enough musicians coming up in our churches know the value of learning how to play this style of worship music, and I thank you both for continuing to create videos such as this one. I'm a young pianist and I have played hymns this way for years so I agree 100% on all four of the tips y'all gave. Thanks so much!
We appreciate the kind words Nicholas!
Hope you can make a tutorial on how to make piano arrangement. Maraming salamat all the way here from the Philippines 🎶🎹
Love it I do this Karl UK Unitarians accompanist
Good video.
Thank you! TH-cam recommended me this : )
You're welcome! Thats nice of youtube :)
I really enjoyed the way you two presented the enhancement suggestions.
Thank you we're glad!
I do a lot of this naturally when I sing haha. I like to make the hymns a lil more interesting 👌🏿😎
Played sweet hour of prayer using this technique, sounds so much better
hiii! I'm an LDS member, i was called as a ward assistant pianist in my ward and this video helped so much, i'd definitely use these tips when i play prelude and postlude
That's awesome. We're really glad you found the video helpful and good luck in your new calling! We plan on going into more depth on these concepts in the near future so keep an eye out. :)
So good!!!!! Can you publish a book from the hymns?
Thanks so much! I'd love to publish a hymn book. It's a big project that I haven't gotten to yet, but I'll definitely let you know when I do :)
Me subbing to make the number of subscribers go from 999 to 1k is the best feeling ever❤❤🎉😂
Hahah you’re the best!!
"Unless it's bad feedback and that hurts our feelings"... I totally agree. Bad feedback is for the birds!
Hi guys! I truly enjoyed your video. Am a senior citizen and I would like to learn to play piano. Please help me.
We’re glad you enjoyed it Stanley! We’re actually seeing if there’s interest in a full course on this topic. If you’re interested, you can visit vorkinkmusic.carrd.co and put in your email.
Sir will you help me create a music for my written hymn, I hope so, thank you
Nice
How can I create chords in hymns
Hi folks, love the two-some of you. How did you arrive or determine the spicy B flat chord?
Thanks Stanley! Ultimately, what you choose for reharmonization depends on what kind of sound you want. As far as getting ideas, I had seen the 7th chord substituted in other songs and just tried it out here. Definitely some trial and error.
Can you play hymn no 271
If you play everything in the hymnal, including the Christmas hymns, you need to be able to play in all keys.
Well if we’re talking about the current version of the LDS hymnal, there are a few keys that aren’t represented such as B Major, or G flat major. And the vast majority of hymns are in the same few keys. But absolutely learning all the keys will only help with piano and the hymns and is a great thing for any pianist to do!
You Yam! You Potato! You Tuber!
very cute ❤ can you help me with improvisation
Thank you! We’re not experts on that, so I would recommend looking elsewhere on TH-cam. Piano With Jonny has some great resources!
