The JAZZ Worship Keyboardist.

Part 1: Raised 11ths


 

In a rut? Expand! Become a more creative and expressive improviser! This six chapter, 92 page, advanced level, step-by-step keyboard tutorial shows you how to use the raised 11th chord in hymns and choruses. A highly expressive jazz sonority used in pop styles, the raised 11th is especially useful for projecting a sense of intimacy in worship. It can be employed in congregational singing, but is most applicable when playing in small groups, accompanying, or soloing.

Short and then long examples clarify chord functions, and a running commentary unpacks the theory. V-I progressions, the cycle of fifths, secondary dominants, and root movement up/down a 1/2 step are covered. Ten variations on two hymns show how the chord functions in extended musical contexts. Harmonic exercises get the sound into your ear and help you attain fluency in all keys.

This material is designed for private study, as supplemental material for piano lessons, and for upper division college instruction.
