Invitation Tips for the Church Pianist


Music creates emotion. We as church pianists want to create the proper mood for the invitation.
Here are a few tips to follow if your pastor likes background music while he speaks during the invitation.

1. Play soft and slow to create a meditative mood.

2. Before congregation or choir joins in song, the pianist must transistion to either a I or V7 chord
to allow a strong lead in for singers.

3. For churches using a faster singing tempo, simply speed up gradually before everyone sings.
