5 Music Stages - What Every Gospel Pianist Needs to Know

What theory do gospel musicians need to know? This video discusses the Stages of Growth that will take the beginning musician just starting on the piano all the way to playing at an advanced level.

Some folks wonder why they feel like something is missing, why they have gaps in their development. Just because you can play gospel licks and common chords does not mean that you are a solid player. This video discusses all the music stages and levels in between from beginner to advance

This is the single most important video on the topic online, period. This totally explains what makes one competent at the craft.

Mastering the basics is the key to excellence. There are no shortcuts to greatness. Thanks for this!

[audiodopebeats]

Great breakdown, Sean. Everyone wants to blaze on the keys but nobody wants to put in the work. I’m motivated to get better myself!

[akingenesis]

This was the much needed outline that I had been waiting on for years. Indeed no house can be built strong with faulty foundations. Thanks for calling us back to work.

[MrLinights]

This has to be one of the most informative tutorial on the process of playing piano by ear, EVER...

[BenIsFiguringitOut]

This is one of the best videos I’ve seen in terms of knowing where I’m at as a musician. As you said, it takes years to progress. I’ve played organ and keys for 20 years, and I see myself in multiple categories except novice and advanced. Thanks again for this video! The video encouraged AND challenged me all at the same time!

This is such an important video. I’ve toured the world for over a decade and have been so blessed in the industry…just to realize that functionally, I’m still at the beginner stage. It’s both humbling and encouraging. So looking forward to improving and excited about finally having a roadmap for not only where I’m going, but how to get there. Thanks for this!

[cyrazcyrus]

I regularly watch this video to track my progress. Thanks man for this

[likefatherlikeson]

OMG im not even at beginner level and i play for a church.. i have a lot to learn.... sometimes i struggle playing songs and im desperate to get better... and i play by ear without and music theory at all,

[JustChris.___]

Yea I just started really getting into the piano 2 weeks ago and man. I had been looking for what I needed as a foundation to be able to play and grow as a piano player. Preciate it 💯

[wesleydavis]

Sean man thanks all I needed was a template and how to practice it. I’ve realized I’m not good as I think I am always good to have a humbling experience

[aaronsalvatus]

this is what im looking for. A guide on where to start. I've been playin at church for years and i struggle on how and where to start to practicing. now i can follow your guide.

[RenitaDTerry]

I just love you Sean Wilson!!!! You've been needed for over a decade!!! Thankful that you're one of the learned musicians helping to raise the bar for gospel musicians who first learned to play by ear!!! I'm trained classically, so I'm just grateful. You speak to both groups.

One thing I love about this video is that Sean doesn't try to hide the time it takes to master something. Everywhere on every social platform, posts that go "Become a pro player in 8 weeks", or "Play like Chick Corea in 5 lessons" are the norm, and it's super frustrating as a beginner because it feels like you're doing something wrong

Back in my days as a kid this man would have been a world renowned teacher.

[Thedustymichaels]

Great way of letting people know that shortcuts are not an option. Thank you so much for the support. I`ve been trying to say this for years without being taken seriously. A 1-6-4-5 or A 2-5-1 is NOT AS easy AS IT looks when you haven`t gone through the basic stuff.
I`m selftaught going twenty years now, and i`m not Even close to advanced.

[StOasis]

Best video I’ve seen in ‘22
This would be my guide for a year; starting today
You just earned a grateful sub!
Blessings 🙏🏾

I have to share this link to everyone. It clearly outlines levels of development and a lot of people need this guidance. Thank you Mr Wilson. Representing from Accra, Ghana.(Africa)🇬🇭

[MichaelRobinson]

I love what you're doing and how you present it... Glad I came across your work! I'm a Trumpet player, but this will help me a lot!

[AuXXKeyz]

Well I thought I considered myself as an intermediate piano player but after seeing all this, I think I'm a begginer lol.. Btw I screamed when I heard that chord at 0:53, also another thing @Sean You're a very well rounded musician to say the least, your ear is amazing & the fact you analyse these great musicians to such precise details makes you very unique, keep it up, your teaching is touching a lot of people 🙏
