Duane, I would add another thought here.. Most musicians have heard that the piano is [also] a percussion instrument - but few understand the full significance of that fact. As a songwriter this was one of the most important things I had to figure out (on my own) and to apply to my music. I discovered that the piano can work incredibly with drums and other percussion instruments - and when carefully done, the resulting music and rhythms can be magnificent. I love your videos and I'm getting lots of very useful information from you - things to think about and things to apply (and I have applied) - so thanks!
I play at church but I play the melody when accompanying the congregation because I find it helpful for them to sing along. It is similar to those who play hymns with organ/pipe organ.
This guy is fantabulous! Love him

Yes - that's what you should do when playing for congregational singing.
Your videos are amazing Duane. My playing wouldn't be where it is without your help
Thank you Steven - very kind of you to say so!
Duane do you have a course that has this style of playing. What a Friend in Jesus the way you do on here if so I want to buy.
Hi Duane,
what's the best course you have you have for learning how to accompany singers (solo) at church?
