My earliest memories of playing the piano are closely tied to religion. We learned piano in my house primarily to help us learn the songs that teach about Jesus.

I never dreamed when I first sat at the piano as an 8 year old and tried to find middle C that I would eventually make a career out of it, or that playing the piano would become one of the greatest joys in my life.

During all my years as a pianist I have heard the sentence, “I so wish I had not stopped taking piano lessons,” more times than I can count. And while I get why people want to be able to play I also get why they quit. Playing the piano is wonderful and fun, but it is also difficult and takes years of hard work.

When I ask these would be pianists if they could learn one thing what would it be, the overwhelming response is always, “I really wish I could play the hymns!” (Followed closely by Taylor Swift songs).

After hundreds of hours spent helping my young students stumble through the hymns I decided to try an experiment and came up with a few shortcuts.

After some trial and error, hiring a graphic designer, hours of work, and getting feedback from students of all ages and abilities I came up with the ideas that would eventually become “Gospel on the Go.”

Using this eBook and video course, the same students that used to take months and months to learn a hymn were now learning them in minutes.

The secret?

Pictures!

Instead of using traditional music notation that takes lots of time and effort, I spell everything out with simple pictures that are easy to comprehend on sight, even if you know nothing about music or the piano.

As word got around my community, people who took piano lessons as kids and quit were calling me up and asking if they could borrow my homemade hymnbook. It was then that I knew I was onto something!

I used these proven techniques and applied them to some of our most popular hymns and am now excited to release Gospel on the Go!

This book and the video course that accompany it are all you need to be able to sit down and play your favorite Christian hymns sooner than you thought possible.
