Raluca, I am almost convinced to sign up for your piano brains course!! I rely heavily on sheet music and my brother who plays beautifully by ear and couldn’t read a note if his life depended on it gives me such a hard time. He’s the main pianist in our church and wants me to be able to play along with the band using the Yamaha Clavinova using the strings sound because we have plenty of bass players. If I’ve heard it once, I heard it a thousand times…you have got to stop relying on that sheet music!! I think I will like your teaching style. I did stop playing for several years and I’m paying for it dearly. I could just kick myself. Thanks for all the beautiful inspiration you provide through your music.
Hi, Jennipher! Thank you for sharing your experience with me! I'd love to guide you through the process and I'll be there for you every step of the way (students have direct access to me). If you have any questions feel free to reach out raluca@ralucabojor.com
That is a good lesson. I also like to turn a right hand chord, say a quarter note by playing the bottom note as an eighth rest-eight note. My church is contemporary and piano is now used for pads not accompaniment.
Yep! There are a million ways to embellish hymns on piano, and adding eighth note subdivisions in the RH is a great way to support the congregation! My church is also shifting towards contemporary... 😐
Here is the new link for the FREE PDF! Thanks for letting me know it was not available! :) Happy playing! drive.google.com/file/d/1XmG1GEJq9UusaQQ3oLtW5gccDdTw0twP/view?usp=sharing

The world entered the church via modern music. This is beautiful. Miss it dearly.
Thank you for watching!
Learned even more to help me make my transcripted versions even better! So excited, thank you!
You're very welcome 🙏 🤗
