Improvise: Orchestral Instruments in Worship

Description

Do you play a string, brass or woodwind instrument? Improvise: orchestral instruments in Worship provides the music theory needed for improvising with congregation. Understand what information a lead sheet gives and how you can translate that on to your instrument. The book includes workbook pages to help you learn the music theory, but theory learned in isolation is not practical. The Play Today sections help you apply the concepts and techniques into your playing using lead sheets of hymns. Follow a step by step guide to apply the theory to hymns in lead sheet format. You can start playing right away! Since improvising can be difficult if you can’t hear the melody or the chord structure, simple MP3 practice tracks are provided for each lead sheet which allow you to hear how your part fits with the whole. Links to publisher’s and composer’s websites allow you to download lead sheets and recordings to further develop and build your repertoire at each stage.
