As I was looking through one of my old Michael W. Smith - Go West Young Man, I came across a song of his written in 1990. I remember playing it many times on the worship team. Here are the chords and lyrics to Agnus Dei. Have you played it before?

I love to sing this song and play these marvelous chords with sixteenth notes in the right hand, along with single bass notes in the left hand. I play the song in Bb and below you will find a chart for the guitar as well. I wanted to let my musician friends know that HearandPlay offers a great resource, Guitar301.
Do you have a favorite Chris Tomlin song? From a few former posts, you can take a look at Unfailing Love and Be Glorified for the chords. With Easter approaching towards the end of the month, I think I'll post more songs for Easter on my blog such as The Wonderful Cross and Amazing Grace.

A modern Western worship team leading a contemporary worship session. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
A new Easter season is fast approaching and I have been reflecting on many of the songs I have performed in the past. I have fond memories of playing in an open amphitheater near the beach for an Eastersunrise service outdoors. Other times I had played the keyboard on a strings setting along with other worship team members for 4 Easter services on a Sunday morning. How is it going to be for you this year? Will you be performing as a musician or participating with your voice in congregational worship? Will you be mixing upbeat contemporary songs, like O Happy Day and balancing the song list with a few slow, traditional music favorites?
Here are a few songs I have posted in the past with their corresponding chord charts.
A mighty Fortress is our God, A Bulwark never failing; Our Helper He amid the flood Of mortal ills prevailing: For still our ancient foe Doth seek to work us woe; His craft and power are great, And, armed with cruel hate, On earth is not his equal.
This song has been recorded by so many artists, including Jars of Clay. It is the background song to the film, Love Come Softly which is based on a Janet Okey novel. Also, it's my husband's favorite hymn and sounds wonderful on the guitar. We both have played it in many weddings. Are you familiar with this very popular tune? It's a song of God's grace that will last forever!
"Robert Robinson (1735-1790) was eight years old at the time of his
father's death. He was a very bright, headstrong boy who became
increasingly more difficult for his mother to handle. When Robert turned
14, she sent him to London for an apprenticeship with a barber. Robert
proceeded to
get into even more trouble, taking on a life of drinking
and gambling..."
The story doesn't end here. You won't believe what happened next! For more reading about his transformation, continue here.

A whopping 10-disc set, this course specializes in teaching you everything you need to know to start singing the right way. From
the basics and fundamentals to more involved techniques and exercises,
you'll get a comprehensive education on the what, why, and "HOW" of
singing.

One of my favorite online music teachers for children, who has beginner piano students, is Susan Paradis. Her site is loaded with free songs and lots of music resources. You'll find games, puzzles and Easter Bunny Keys to color (print out) and she recently posted an Easter Bunny Song.
I usually use these books, Bastien Primer Level Lesson and Theory Books and start students in C Position before I move on to thumbs sharing in Middle C Position.
Free sheet music download, Take Me Home (Sweet Sunny South) is available at http://www.musicnotes.com I played the song and it sounds just like At The Cross.
You'll want to check out this new piano app for your iPad. It's called Joy Tunes Piano Dust Buster and is free in the App Store. It includes 23 songs in all. The first few,
such as "Mary's Little Lamb" and "Frere Jacques," can be played
immediately. As players progress, they unlock access to more advanced
pieces, including "Ode to Joy" and "La Bamba."
In the basic version, with an on-screen touch keyboard, you swat at
little creatures as they descend by playing the piano key on which they
are about to land. In a more advanced version, you smack the critters
when they slide along as notes on the music staff, so you get a sense of
where A4 or D#5 is in music notation, for example.
For more advanced play, you can use the "Real Piano" mode, in which the
app acts as an accompaniment to an actual piano or electric keyboard.
The invaders still drop toward the notes or slide along the staff. But
you play on the real keyboard, and the app uses the iPad's microphone to
recognize whether you have played the right note.
I use this app with my piano students and it's fun... just get past the name. Kind of crazy but this new technology that we have, especially with the iPad3, is sensational. Steve Jobs was so revolutionary and I'm very thankful.
Although this app isn't free, I think it's a great investment of $.99 for every student and teacher to have. You'll love it! It's called Flashnote Derby. Another app for $.99 that I use with my iPad is Pluto Learns Piano.
Best wishes and much continued success with your piano practice!

I love teaching beginners, young children, and adults. I offer piano lessons for ages 3-103 and all levels from primer to advanced. We have a blast with piano games, playing duets, learning songs and theory.
I offer private and group lessons. I am a WunderKeys piano teacher for preschoolers, 3-years-old to Kindergarten. We have 2 recitals, Fall and Spring.
Thank You!
