The Church Pianist:Congregational Singing

Here's an easy tip for church pianists.


When playing for congregational singing...


Keep the music moving between verses to create an
easy entry for singers.


Slowing down at the end of each verse will disrupt the
flow of music; causing confusion for the congregation as
far as when to start the next verse.


Piano Hymn Fill-ins Part Three addresses this issue and
provides a couple of music examples.


It is important for the church pianist to maintain a steady
tempo throughout congregational singing. If available,
the song leader will take care of this concern.
