Welcome!
I am Harold Hanson, Founder of WorshipFingers Gospel Center. I am thrilled that you have taken the decision to undertake on a music transformation journey. It does not take you years of insane practice to become good at playing the Piano, or any instrument, or singing. It just takes you a few weeks of studying principles that the Masters know, but won't readily show you. I have studied under the great tutelage of Jermaine Griggs and Jonathan Powell [Hearandplay.com] for 15years+, among other great Music Ministers. I bring you all those years of learning, and hope that you become that great Musician you have always dreamt of becoming. |
About Us
We are an organization that helps groom the Ministry Musician totally. We focus on your office as a Ministry Musician; we teach you how to play or sing by ear; we groom you on becoming an effective teacher/leader/mentor to others; we provide you with material to help build your mental library, and much more.
What most musicians don't realize is that chords are recycled over and over again in song after song! In the last 13+ years of playing, I've never (I mean NEVER) had to learn or "invent" a new chord progression. I've learned new "licks" and "tricks" but the patterns have forever remained the same.
Of course, new songs are released every month BUT EVEN THEY FOLLOW the same patterns that I'm going to reveal to you. Keep reading below...
Do you have a strong desire to do any of the things below?
-Play any gospel song I hear without relying totally on others, sheet music, lead sheets... or getting the chords from the internet?
-Play the piano, organ, or keyboard for my church choir, singing group, or worship service?
-Lead worship service at my church, but also be able to play the piano or organ when I'm available?
-Accompany singers or soloists no matter what song they sing --- or what major or minor key they happen to be in?
-Be all that God wants me to be as a gospel musician in ALL areas?
If you chose more than one of these desires, then it makes sense to keep reading this post.
...I'll tell you why in a moment.
HINT: I've taken 13+ years of experience in music and have carefully handpicked my best and most proven techniques and tricks to playing the piano by ear... and if you're reading this page right now, then you can't help but to benefit from what I'm about to reveal to you in just a second...
But let me ask you this first. What If I Could Show You…
*How to take small little chord progressions that I call "couples" AND turn them into complete worship songs in just minutes --- it's very simple to master?
*How to instantly "makeover" all of your three-fingered chords with full-sounding extended voicings - like ninths, elevenths, thirteenths, altered chords, quartal voicings, dominant "add 6" chords, and more?
*How to learn slow-paced, harmonious worship songs like "Anointing," "Thank You Lord," "As the Deer," "I Love You Lord," and others... ALL BY USING small little chord progressions called "couples?" Once you've learned the secrets to "coupling," you're gospel playing will never be the same!
*How to combine various chord progressions to create endless possibilities --- e.g. - "opening progressions" ... "closing progressions" ... "circular progressions"(2-5-1 patterns, 1-4 patterns, etc)?
*How to play soft, beautiful chords during high periods of worship or while someone is speaking or ministering?
*How to learn easy-to-understand patterns that will allow you to play hundreds of slow-paced worship songs by ear... INSTANTLY?
(And a whole lot more!)
... Now Let Me Ask You, Would That Interest You?
If so, then let's get right to it as you would learn in a few lessons what it takes musicians to learn in years of trial and error.
Here is what you'll gain from studying with us:
* Discover the seven sets of couples and how to use them to play absolutely any song you want. Once you've mastered these chords and how to connect them together, your piano playing will never be the same!
* Learn how to form tons of different couples by just knowing a few select chords. You don't have to know hundreds of chords to play gospel music. In fact, all you really have to know is a few major, minor, dominant, and diminished chords, and let the power of "patterns" take over from there. Think about it? If I told you to rearrange the numbers "1", "2", "3", "4", and "5" as many ways as you could, you'd have more than 120 combinations. Well, the idea of "couples" is the same way.
* How to predict what chords will come next while learning a new song. Again, chords don't occur randomly. You'll learn exactly how to predict what chords to play next based on what you've already played. This won't require lots of thinking once you catch on to the concept! It's really simple.
* How to 'contemporize' the chords you already know by adding "ninths" and "thirteenths" to your bag of tricks. There always seems to be this "x factor" that no one can explain. "If I'm playing the same major chord as this other musician, then why does he sound better than me?" There's a little finger trick you'll learn that will instantly modernize all of your major chords. You don't want to miss this one --- trust me.
* Discover one chord that is used in probably 60% of gospel worship music. All chords are not created equal. Some chords are used far more frequently than others. Not only will you be equipped with this one chord, but you'll learn tons of chords like this --- chords that reappear in song after song. I will also show you how to pick out this chord in all of your gospel recordings because its definitely there (whether you hear it or not).
* An "over-the-shoulders" look at exactly what I do with my left hand. Many people struggle with things to do with their left hand. I will show you several different power chords to play as well as several left-hand arpeggio patterns that will easily compliment your right hand.
* Several "licks" and "tricks" that are ready-to-use the minute you turn off the music. If you've always felt like you're repeating yourself or that you lack creativity, worry no more. I'm going to show you all types of little "licks" and "tricks" that will be sure to enhance your slow worship songs.
* Learn the "7-couple" formula to playing tons of worship songs by ear! Just like you would learn 5 steps to playing praise songs. I will show you easy-to-understand steps to understanding how worship and slow songs are arranged!
* Discover the "3-4" principle to playing literally any worship chord progression by ear ... INSTANTLY! Chord progressions don't occur randomly. Certain chords lead to others and with this 3-4 calculation that I'm going to reveal, you will never ever have to guess where to go next!
* Learn over 60 new voicings, chords, progressions, and fancy arrangements to playing worship music! From fancy inversions of the ninth chord to the secret "Quartal" chord (which sounds very, very smooth), you'll learn how to replace all of your basic triads and 3-fingered chords with full-sounding 9ths, 11ths, 13ths, and altered chords! Believe me when I say: "Others will notice!"
* Learn contemporary and alternative ways to playing worship favorites like "Anointing," "Thank You Lord," and others! You'll be equipped with the right chords, progressions, and "couples" to play over 95% of gospel songs by ear! But what you have to realize is that most songs use the same progressions over and over in different ways.
Marvin Sapp, Kirk Franklin, Hezekiah Walker, Yolanda Adams, Judith McCallister, Fred Hammond, Richard Smallwood, Donnie McClurkin, Cece Winans, Israel Houghton, and the list goes on... Believe it or not ... The same chord patterns are used in all of their songs.
* Learn patterns (or what I'm calling "couples") like: "1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, 1-6, 1-7, 2-5, 2-6, 3-6, 3-4, 4-5, 4-3, 4-6, 4-7, 5-1, 5-2, 5-4, 6-2, 6-7, 7-3, and many more! Don't be intimidated by the numbers. They are simply taken from major scales. The power in understanding all of these couples is that once you know them all, there will be absolutely NO SONG you won't be able to learn! These patterns are in 95% of all gospel worship songs and you'll know them after studying this course!
* Train your ear to recognize these small "couples" with specially designed ear-training sessions!
Just learn how to use simple "couples" and you'll be playing for your church, soloist, praise and worship team, and choir in less than 30 days...
How to repeat the ending of a worship song without using the same exact chords over and over!
How to play 8-fingered chords using both the power of your left and right hands!
How to follow a singer, worship leader, or soloist!
How to play "licks" and "tricks" even during slow-paced worship songs!
How to transform a basic structure of a worship song into a more contemporary-sounding arrangement ... in 5 minutes!
... And much, much more!
Are you ready to take your piano playing to the next level? Are you ready to start learning songs by ear *on your own*?
