I wish I could have found someone to help me years ago. I volunteered to play piano for a church, but I didn't know how to turn hymns into the creative pieces, so I always felt inadequate. Thank you for sharing and lending that extra help that so many of us need!

Thank you so much this is exactly what I’ve been looking for! Small church pianist.

I am from Brazil. It is very difficult to find someone who plays hymns… I started trying to do that. Thou doth not know how much thou hast helped me. I thank thee for thy kindness. May the Lord bless thee!!! ❤❤❤

Thank you Amanda!

You got blessed with this gift, talent. Tks for sharing ❣️

Wow Just what I needed. She is so talented! Amazing!

Just found your channel. I always enjoy hearing other church pianists thoughts to bring variety to our service. I appreciate your posts.

I loved listening to this.

Really amazing! God bless you Amanda.

This was so helpful....thank you for sharing this!!

Thanks for an info-packed lesson.

Great stuff Amanda!

Thank you so much ma'am 🙏 may God bless you more. Thanks for the PDFs❤️ appreciate it so much

Awesome lesson! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it. I finally found a very exhaustive method on how to apply left hand fills. Thank you so much for this lesson, and for making the pdf available!

Hey we have the same digital piano! I love mine.

Thank you for this Amanda! I've found that fillers have been a bit difficult for me to teach my students. After watching this, I know better how to relate these "filler ideas" to them.

Great Job!!

Very helpful. Toward the end where you’re inserting those octaves and arpeggios, it almost has a Beethoven type feeling

Interesting lesson

Thanks for consider my request, Amanda, I really appreciate it. I learn a lot hearing and watching what was you doing. Why did I never think of repeating the same chord with the right hand in an octave!? O: It's sounds good for congregational playing! If I can suggest more topics to add at some day in the future at your list, it will be: ''Different types of playing''. You know, it's not the same playing for a congregation, to play for ''invitations'' when they make a call. Or playing before the services (preludes) or maybe for specials (solos for meditation) even, how to accompany a singer for a special. I'm happy for what i learned today. Again, thank you! (:

Thank you for sharing your church piano playing skills. I wish you had online lessons for us to enroll and learn in a structured format.

Thank you Amanda for effort you put to teach beautiful music lovers all over the world. I'd love to learn to play hymns since it's the second target after J.S. Bach's music. And since I am a beginner I would love to see something relating to playing hymns but more simple if it possible. Like where to start with to play hymns. Or some example with simplified versions with some different left hand accompaniment patterns. Anyway thank you again and may God bless you and you loved ones.

Because he lived!

I like to buy the ( over 50 left hand patterns for church) book

I love your playing Amanda! I'm a church pianist but I play just basic...melody in right hand and octave chord pattern in left hand. I seem unable to expand to runs, fills, and arpeggios Can I suggest What A Day That Will Be in Key of A flat. One of my favorites❤

I wish I knew this

8:07 How Great Thou Art

Fantastic!! How do I get here?? 😂

I like your tutorial they are the best, but please try to go slowly please,as you demonstrate

Am unable to play chords with my right hand. Is there a way I can figure that out?

Hello Amanda can you help with Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus Key of G Simple Chords w melody lines Thank You

Nice playing though

Are you reading the music or are you looking at your hands for those hand-jumps?

Thanks Amanda but I am lost

Can these filters be used every song

Ma'am where can I get your pdf tutorials for beginners??? Do you do virtual classes???

Didn't explain so I could follow.

Too jazzy not like gospel!!!
