Piano Course for Christians

By Jean

Piano Course for ChristiansI’m pleased to offer a piano program called Piano Course for Christians. Madonna Woods has a Master’s Degree in Music and 20 years of teaching experience.

This program is learning how to read notes on the piano along with music theory. You or your kids can learn to play the piano with worship songs, hyms and the old Masters like
Beethoven & Bach whose music is Christ-centered.

This course was written for ages 6-8 but has also been successfully used by teenagers & adults.
She said younger ages like 4 or 5 can start if a parent can sit with them.

I wish I had this course when I was little. I tried to learn to play the piano from a book. What’s so nice about Madonna’s course is that the books have accompanying CD’s so it’s like having your own teacher right beside you, encouraging and helping you with every song.

Written for the Christian student. The music, text and illustrations reinforce Christian values. For more information and to hear an audio of the instroduction

New Lutheran Liturgy

By Jean

A few weeks ago, Pastor Dan Gibson asked me to participate in recording his new collection of songs called ‘A Southern California Setting.’ Pastor Dan is a huge fan of the Beach Boys and pastors a church called ‘Bethel Lutheran’ in the Los Angeles area. The songs are set within a traditional Lutheran framework.


Pastor Dan & the musicians in His CD

I’ve sung in many churches, but the Music Director at Bethel, Terry Cupples, was serious when she told me they would have me back. I helped them with worship once a month for about 8 years.

This is one of the churches where I taught worship guitar classes. You can read Terry’s quote of how the class impacted their church in an article I put together of how to use my videos for teaching guitar classes.

I promised Pastor Dan that I would announce his new project in this blog. You can read more about it and hear clips at his new website, www.southerncaliforniasetting.com. If you think what he’s made may be a blessing to your church, the music and/or CD is for sale at his site.

Congratulations Pastor Dan!

How to Hold a Guitar & A-Frame Guitar Supports

By Jean

How do you hold a guitar? Below is a 7 minute video showing various options of how to hold a guitar and the advantages and disadvantages of each method.

Methods shown are resting the guitar on the right leg, playing with the guitar propped up on the right leg as in Flamenco guitar playing, using a foot stool and using an A-frame.

New song – 'Mi Vida Es Para Ti', or 'My Life, It Is For You'

By Jean

I recently finished a Beth Moore Study called ‘Believing God.’ She certainly is a wonderful teacher and vibrant speaker/encourager. On the last night we watched her, via DVD, demonstrate how short our lives are by putting a sign post on one end of the stage that said ‘0 Years’ and another at the opposite end of the stage with ‘1000 years.’

In Scripture it says that 1000 years is as one day to God. There were three more sign posts, one saying ‘500 years’ in the middle of the stage, ‘250 years’ between the ‘0’ and ‘500 years,’ and ‘125 years’ between the ‘0’ and ‘250 years.’ The ‘0 years’ and ‘125 years’ sign posts were close enough together that Beth could touch both with her hands.

That’s our life in terms of eternity. It’s brief. Well, a few days later I was worshipping and praying and a my first song in Spanish was birthed. I had heard from a number of stores that their Spanish customers loved my videos and DVD’s. I found out they were being used in several churches in the Panama, Spanish Churches in the US and in missions trips to Hispanic Countries.

The song, inspired by Beth Moore’s class, is all about how our lives are short and belong to Him. I sang the song to a few Spanish friends. One of my prayer partners, Marion, corrected a few lines and that Sunday, my friend Esther, from Cuba, told me she thought the song would be well received in a Spanish Church she knows. Then, Rich, a dear brother who preaches at a soup kitchen for mostly hispanics loved it too. I’ve sung at his soup kitchen a number of times, in both English and Spanish.

It’s a song with simple chords and I have it here with both the audio and music. Since English is the language most of you speak, I translated it into English too.
