and i know theres piano music for that but theres more than that song that i want to play so uh help anyone?
+10 to best answer ^_^
A. Your note sequence is not actually a chord, its part of a chord. If you play alternate keys on the white keys, they will harmonize. Like C (skip D) E (skip F) G. So C E and G played together will make a C chord.. The notes in the melody can be any combination of these plus others added. The added ones will not be harmony so they can't last long while the C chord is sounding. You can try using 3 chords for a song like C made of CEG and Dm made of DFA and G made of GBD.
So, now compose a melody and change the chords so that most of the notes in the melody are in the chord. It is best to start with C and then end on C. In between you can go anywhere you want with the 3 chords. When you are comfortable with this you can add more chords like Am ACE. Now you can have a more interesting line of music. Try it out.

How do you play the flute without music?
Q. The worship team at my church asked me to play the flute with them, and I'd really like to, except I don't know what to play. They don't have any sheet music for me. They gave me chord charts. Is it possible to play the flute by looking at chords? I can also play piano and guitar. The other instruments I'm playing with are guitars, piano, bass, and violin.
The piano plays off chord charts too. And they already have a violin playing just the melody. I know from experience that a flute and a violin both playing the same thing doesn't sound very good.
A. You can play along with chord charts, if you have knowledge of scales and music theory. Each chord dictates certain scales you can use to improvise parts on the flute.
If you play piano and can read chords, you could play the chords on piano and then play the arpeggios on the flute. Next, you could make up melody lines that fit with the chords given. You could always play along with the melody of the song, although if they have given you only chords to read, you will have to figure out the melody by ear.
This will be a challenge but I think it will be fun for you! Good luck!
I've been asked to play for church and am at a loss for what to play. Ideas?
Q. Kind of a stupid question. I am classically trained...played for churches, orchestras, majored in piano in college. I just haven't played much in a few years...all of my classical is way too 'showy' and too difficult to work up in a week or two (not to mention way too long) ...I usually do my own hymn arrangements....however, this is a more 'charasmatic' church and I need something a little more upbeat. Ideas on some easy classical that sound hard, or some arrangements of contemporary worship? Every one has talked me up and now I don't want to play at all...I hate playing solo, I'd rather play with a group. Anyway, guess I better get it over with. =) Ideas? To give you an idea of my level...in college I played Schumann's a min. Concerto, many Beethoven Sonatas, Chopin Etudes...the usual. I can play by chords, read chord charts. I just haven't played much in a few years...and don't want to put forth the work to get my classical back in gear (at least not in the next few weeks).
A. I have been playing in a church for around six months now; while I play hymn arrangements as well, I also play an occasional excerpt from an opera piano transcription for variety. They are usually just the right length, easy to learn in at most a week--sometimes two for exceptionally difficult pieces--and there are a variety of styles to choose from. I have had many compliments, and people always seem to enjoy the operatic pieces, even if they are not necessarily 'worship' music, although there are some that could be considered so. I suggest that you look through the scores, and try out pieces until you find one that you like, then print it. If you would like an idea of how the piece should sound, you can usually find a professional example on YouTube. Below are links to two websites that offer opera scores and one that offers 'classical' songs. If you would like a beautiful melody that is simple to learn quickly--in a day or so--one you might desire to try is 'O Sole Mio' from Art Song Central.
