When I was a kid, my mom and I were hired to play for a local baptist church's revival service for the week. We'd play the devotional services (I'm from the South), and we'd accompany any guest choir that didn't have a musician. I played organ and mom played piano. NO JOKE THIS HAPPENED! A guest choir came, and we accompanied. The choir was in D-flat and the soloist was in D the ENTIRE SONG!!! There was truly SPIRITUAL WARFARE going on! I was never so happy for a song to end in my life! 🎵🎵🎵
LOL, thank you for sharing. Nothing more cringing than watching that happen as a musician from the pew, if possible, the best thing to do sometimes is let the Lord use them, a capella or aka a capell-a-Po-Po
I only do that when someone changes 12 keys or so and wants to keep doing it (someone has actually done this, I ain't exaggerating we went back a circle 😂)
Theres a guy in our orchestra who is so confident in his drums but misses every beat and its torture as a singer 😂 My brother is really good tho and was really the backbone of the orchestra before he left
I lost it at the "I don't play songs in A musician" - brings me back to jamming with a dude at guitar center who played everything in F# and would use the transpose button to switch the key
When I'm in a good mood, I'm the transposer/perfect pitcher (depending on if it's a key I'm conversant with), when I'm in a bad mood I'm the faker, we all gonna sing and clap today.
😂 My son has perfect pitch and also plays; imagine being in rehearsal and your child calling you out; “Mom.. you flat” he was about 8 💀... he is definitely the perfect pitch player he thinks it’s a challenge he’s 14 now
@@empnadajhhh9469 AAVE is speaking properly, its a dialect. Are you going to tell me pigin isn't speaking properly too since it's not "standard english"? Probably, judging by your ignorant response to AAVE, now that I think about it. Stfu and go sit down somewhere with your anti-black nonsense
Kevon is a musical genius. I was in service one time and a guy played the intro to his solo then started singing in another key. The funniest things happen in church sometimes.
My childhood director was a mix of the steadfast and come on up a little higher 😆😂😝🤣😃🙃 She KNEW her stuff and taught me the importance of practicing before practice. And yes, she would do both of these on Sunday if she heard something off 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't know a thing about music but I enjoyed this so much. Sums up peoples' approach to life. Sometimes you just have to roll with it and try to play to what the soloist is giving you. Every now and then your efforts will turn into something miraculous.
Oh dear! I'm rolling on the floor. Kent I tell you a real life story. We once rehearsed the popular Psalm 121(I will lift up my eyes to the hills). Everything was perfect by Saturday night. I had sleepless night trying to score the chords. We got to church Sunday morning, introduced the song and the soloist went straight ahead to sing Psalms 23. When asked what happened, she said the spirit led her to change the song right on stage. But the spirit didn't inform me (the Pianist) to rehearse it ahead. It was a disaster 🤣🤣🤣
Reminds me of so many scenarios I’ve seen in real life … for me the worst was accompanying an auditionee I played intro then there is a pause and they start singing a key higher, so I transpose up a tone then they go up as well staying off key in the same relative way …
😂😂😂...I've been that soloist that will look at you like "No! You follow me!" Then pull a Dorinda Clarke Cole on you...🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️😂😂...I'm sorry!!
Hey Kevon... Too funny. Look, I don't even play with folks like that. I let them have it. That foolishness, I am not required deal with. Let the rookies start paying their dues! 😂😁🤣
I've experienced a variation on this where the pianist tries to get away with playing a song in an easier key...but the singer has perfect pitch. She blasted the band after the gig.
From my own experience with singers, I always suppose they don't know nothing about music and learned to sing in the shower. "We're gonna play in the key of E" "Sure, just start singing and I'll follow on whatever key you actually start singing on"

That “ha” gets me every time
Same
Yess
huuu i felt that
EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. 🤣🙏🏽
I swear... I'm so in love with the ha 😂
Hence why I tell them, just start where you're comfortable and I'll FIND YOU
I've learned this the hard way.
😂😂😂😂😂that is a good solution
This has been proved to be the safest way possible 😂🙌🏻🙌🏻
I have tried that and sometimes the vocalist still "wanders" to different tonalities. 🥴😵🥺😱
Shem my pianist tells me that a lot

When you know you were going to play in a certain note; had to have been so frustrating!

or worse the singer that calls a tune, band starts, and singer starts singing a different tune.
🤣🤣🤣
That happens?!!! Omg
😳
how is that even possible
Backup enough singers and you won't believe how many things can go wrong.
I'm sorry to all the musicians who I did this to
😂😂😂
🤐😂😂
😂😂
I like you 😂
You and me both 🤦🏾♀️🙆🏾♀️ Feeling so guilty now 😶 Thank you for the blood.
"my date is in the audience so im just gonna act like i can play it " is just jazz and there are no wrong chords in jazz, just wrong interpretations
It actually sounded good tho. I would be impressed if I was the date
The fact that he ends on a diatonic chord really sells it too lmao
there are DEFINITELY wrong chords in jazz. idk why people keep saying this :)))))
@@SuperAmazingJared agreed, its getting real old and clearly come from people who dont play jazz lol
People really think you can literally play whatever you want with jazz 🤦♂️
The steadfast unmovable for sure....
I can't stress myself if you ain't gonna stick to the plan
Lol, then it’s the singers fault and you’re just like *shrug*
@@bassoonplatoon3146 exactly my point 😅
I only do that when someone changes 12 keys or so and wants to keep doing it (someone has actually done this, I ain't exaggerating we went back a circle 😂)
Lol😆🤣
I dont get it, are people just incapable of hearing themselves clashing with the other instruments?
I just use the transpose button and call of the day 😂😂
Call it a day?
Have you heard this expression wrong all your life?
I do the same thing.
The devil is the transpose button.
Guitarist: Shrugs and throws on a capo
i do that too
You’re validating my reason for playing drums for most of my life. I’m just so thankful I’m not a real musician. God Bless you.
Never had a singer completely miss your beat? haha
@@chameleonedm I hate that. I would just stop playing in general.
Shh you weren't supposed to tell them the part about not being a real musician
Hahaha you're hilarious 😂😂👏👏
Theres a guy in our orchestra who is so confident in his drums but misses every beat and its torture as a singer 😂 My brother is really good tho and was really the backbone of the orchestra before he left

F#? Now that's just fuckery.
*Laughs in guitarist who can play any key because he uses intervals instead of frets or keys*
@@beatfromjetsetradio8239 or just practice your scales and modes

I was that one who ran from 'A' lol

That last one though jazz Jazz .. JAZZ
I definitely used to “fake” being slain in the spirit while leading worship when I would forget the lyrics🤦🏾♀️😆
Like really slain? Lord have mercy!
Like Ella did to Mac the Knife?
I mean I can hardly blame ya lol, that's why God gave us practice XD
Isn’t all slain fake?! Bazinga!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I just throw in a Hallelujah
As a drummer, it’s so painful having to watch your keyboardist go through this 😂😭
Yo E you’re not the only one 😂
You don't have to find the right key before playing?
Normally, I'll just wait on them and then play if it off like I was always supposed to come in by the chorus or something.
As a clarinetist I once didn't swap from BB to A clarinet. So I had to transpose half tone for a whole movement, it was Tchaikovsky 4th symphony....
SHESHHHH
Ugh. That is impressive.
That's impressive, but at least it was only a half tone, rather than halfway across the octave
Stress
Yooo those date was in the audience chords got me swooning no cap
I’m the faker hahahaha
I don’t like when this happens and then so many times I stop to playing.
Lol that was me a while back 😂 Just gotta keep on practicing
Nigerian church aesthetic lmao
As a bass player , I totally go that route. Especially when they say it's in A, but capo on the 6th fret. Like whasaaa?
😂 My son has perfect pitch and also plays; imagine being in rehearsal and your child calling you out; “Mom.. you flat” he was about 8 💀... he is definitely the perfect pitch player he thinks it’s a challenge he’s 14 now
He's ahead of the curve. It pays long run to be perfect pitcher.
Another younger perfect pitcher

I'm the perfect pitch, but I usually start off steadfast and unmovable, and if the singer's heart is hardened, I'll finally go with them.😂😭
That transpose got me guilty as charged 😂
I’ve sat through a 30 min long flute recital where the flutist never tuned with the piano. I died a little that day.
I am just glad to know that as a musician I am not alone in this, I am in the company of an army of betrayed musicians LOL
😂😂😂😀 You can say that again
😂😂
🎶I will be steadfast, unmovable. Always abounding in you🎶
🎵🎶I promise you Lord... I'm staying in Your will!!! 🎶😂
the faces he make when they're off key, he felt that too! lol
Every time I see this, that “Hallelujah!” make me LOL! Thanks Kevin!
The “trying to raise him one key” got me so good.😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm definitely the 'Steadfast Unmovable" accompanist! Hahahaha 🤣
Honestly, just by watching you I'm learning so much about how music actually works and how much I really don't know.
Kevon is a musical genius. I was in service one time and a guy played the intro to his solo then started singing in another key. The funniest things happen in church sometimes.
Lol🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😍😍😍
I will turn the volume to 0 and pretend to check my keyboard,seems like got problem with it🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Or just switch to pads and hold down a neutral chord 😂
What’s a “neutral” chord?

TRUE
I am relative pitcher, it takes me a few seconds to find the tone , but I will find.
Eyy me too!! Mine’s really specific though, I’m near perfect with strings and piano, okay with winds and brasses, but singing is the death of me ://
🙋🏽♂️Me too
The perfect pitcher... Dope
I'm definitely the transposer.

1:17 - *that was NICE!!*
Daaaaaawg!!! Hahahahahaha! You've hit home! I staaaaay getting betrayed at church in front of a full congregation!!
I love the way you play the piano. May God bless you for ever.
The "better safe than sorry"😂 stop calling me out Kevon!😂
Wow, this happens so often 😂🎹🎤🎼
I'd like to thank God for your channel.
You're one of the best gifts God gave me.
That last one tho! 😂 That was actually a flex! I know it was! 😂
No shame in my game 😂 first thing I ask when we visit other churches “where the transpose at?”
You're such a classic for me lol I love re-watching you
The "Steadfast Unmovable" musician is me 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Bwhaahahahahahahahow am I only just finding this now?! You are a treasure and fine pianist, good sir.
These are so accurate, I’ve done at least three or four!! 😂😂
The last few seconds on that piano🔥🔥🔥🇿🇦😭😭😭
The faker had me gone😂😂
Surprisingly that the keyboardist always get the blame...lol
That really blessed me at the end. The music was so beautiful.
And that’s when I stop playing because they are probably going to change key every other sentence.
😂😂😂...I've been that soloist that will look at you like "No! You follow me!" Then pull a Dorinda Clarke Cole on you...🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️😂😂...I'm sorry!!
😂😂😂😂
😂😂❤️❤️
tsk tsk 😅😅😅
At least you own it lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I know right ! When you give them the key and they don’t start in the key 😅😅😅
I'm the "Better Safe Than Sorry" for sure
was just gonna say the same thing myself 😂
Hey Kevon... Too funny. Look, I don't even play with folks like that. I let them have it. That foolishness, I am not required deal with. Let the rookies start paying their dues! 😂😁🤣
All the time 😂😂😂😂 glad I can play by ear. But when I'm struggling I'm like the "better safe than sorry musician".
I can't with this!! Facts!!🤣😂🤣
Love the last one, but I'm definitely in the camp of pushing them higher! lol
🤣😂😂😂😂😅🙆🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️what a perfect time to come across this channel 😂🤣😂😅I miss choir rehearsals 🤦🏽♀️
OK 😂 the accuracy. I love the perfect pitcher. Off keys can be so heartbreaking.
LMAO when you went up a further half step. Like okay you wanna play that game. You don't even know what you're getting yourself into.
The better safe than sorry 😂😂😂
You forgot the one where the whole band decides to modulate to 4 different keys at the same time.
Come on🤣🤣🤣
I’m grateful and blessed to watch your videos. ☀️😇☀️
Wow you've got a genious singer there look at those key modulations.
The fakerr hahahah is sooo meee haha😂😂😂
Nice touch having the 'I Don't Play in A' guy shred the Ab scale, just too perfect
I am all BUT the perfect pitch 😅🤣😂☠
The perfect pitcher tho 😅😉
Idk why this off key song was in my spirit today. But I’m so happy I found the video
That's happened to me a few times. Acting like they know their key. Lol.
Oml i used to be the "better safe than sorry" one😭
You told me F not F sharp 😂😂😂
I'am a musician in our church too, and this video reminds me so much!😂
😩Mannnnn I hate when that happens!!!! Like where is your ear child of God? 😂😂
I've experienced a variation on this where the pianist tries to get away with playing a song in an easier key...but the singer has perfect pitch. She blasted the band after the gig.
Haha, the Faker got me 😆
Hill. Larry. Us! 🤣
Oh my goodness, just transpose will ya...lol..
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Yes this happens and l always look at the musician yo see if they can follow... LOL
Lmboo “the faker”has me weakkk Loll😁🤣😭😭
You forgot the one where the pianist uses the transpose button so to play in a different key 😆
I have definitely gone through all the stages 😅
The mimics and body language are to the point 👌
I'm the steadfast unmoveable
with ALL the eyeballing lol
These are the type of pianists in Churchill! 😂😂😂 well done
I’m the transposer and the perfect pitcher 🤣
The transpose one is HILARIOUS
From my own experience with singers, I always suppose they don't know nothing about music and learned to sing in the shower.
"We're gonna play in the key of E"
"Sure, just start singing and I'll follow on whatever key you actually start singing on"
Setting low expectations for a singer’s musical knowledge is def the way to go
The transposer it's me👋😅
