The Church Pianist: Introduction Tips for Congregational Singing: Part One

"And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men." Colossian 3:23
The introduction plays a vital role in congregational singing!


We serve a living God! Therefore, the church pianist's introduction should reflect this message.
Remember; we express emotion through music. Be excited about each song you introduce!
If you are tired, don't allow it to show in your playing. The congregation will pick up on it.

  1. Give a rousing, loud introduction...encouraging the congregation to join in song.
  2. Keep the introduction moving to the very end. Slowing down destroys the singing tempo and causes confusion for intial entry of singers.

These few tips for the church pianist will make a huge difference in the congregational singing!
