Udemy – Peters' Pointers on Piano Hymn Arrangements TUTORiAL

P2P Sept 23 2015 | 1.5 GB
Step by step guide to creating fresh new hymn arrangements, revealing favorite techniques from 45 years of experience.

I've identified a few techniques and important areas from 45 years of piano playing experience, which may shorten the time necessary to become proficient at composing a piano arrangement. This course consists of a survey of chords to create an emotional atmosphere in your arrangements. Then, I reveal some "tricks to the trade" that I've found helpful in making my own arrangements through the years. We will discuss and practice some textures that will complement the emotional language of the arrangements that you will create. As we progress, there will be some basic projects, which you can discuss with me through Udemy. To guarantee that this can be accomplished, I am committed to help you develop your arranging skill through the Udemy contact methods.

What are the requirements?

Basic understanding of chords (major, minor); intermediate piano playing ability (therefore, a knowledge of all note names and basic ledger lines of bass and treble cleffs)

What am I going to get from this course?

Over 26 lectures and 2.5 hours of content!
Develop the chord structure which will best complement the melody of the arrangement
Determine how to communicate the lyrics of the hymn most effectively
Determine the format of an arrangement
Develop a unifying motif
Develop a simple hymn arrangement

What is the target audience?

An intermediate piano student, who has a most basic knowledge of chords
A person that wants to develop their own piano arrangements
A person open to practicing some of Peters' Pointers, and who is willing to apply them to an arrangement
A person who desires to worship and glorify God through their playing
This would not be a good course for a beginning piano student, for a student who does not have a basic understanding of at least triads, or who doesn't know all the notes and basic ledger lines of the treble and bass cleff
