The Church Pianist (Left Hand Accompaniment Tips)

1. To prevent a muddy tone, do not play a 3 note chord lower than Bass C.
(The 1st C under middle C)


2. When using broken LH chords for accompaniment: use 1-5-10-
instead of 1-3-5 for a more open tone.

For example: in the key of C….the broken chord: C-E-G (1-3-5)
could be changed to C-G-E (1-5-10)

(It’s a wider broken chord but sounds more pleasing than
the 1-3-5 broken chord.)



Try out these left hand tips on a song that lends itself to a flowing tempo such as:
"My Jesus I Love Thee".
