Accompanying the congregation or choir in 6/8 time
can be tricky if you try to play every word.
Playing every word creates a mechanical or
choppy tone and tends to bog down the tempo.
Tips for Playing in 6/8 Timing:
Accent the 1st and 4th beat in every measure.
If you'll notice, the most accompaniment happens
on the accent beats. (1st and 4th)
Don't play every word to avoid dragging the tempo.
Add fill-ins on long words to keep tempo alive!
Remember to maintain a strong volume to support the
congregation or choir.
Above all: Be energetic! We must portray that God is alive!
I've shared some accompaniment ideas for "Showers of Blessings".
