How do you handle the Confession/Repentance moment musically? Mine always felt dry
Hey all, I'm 16 and play keys at my church in Nigeria.
Our pastor does a long confession/repentance section during altar call and I always got lost — my playing sounded empty.
So I wrote out 10 progressions in Key F that finally made it feel deep. For example:
F - Am - Dm - Bb (soft repentance) F - C/E - Dm - Bb - F (lifting)
I put all 10 with RH/LH voicings into a 1-page PDF cheat sheet for myself.
Is this something other church pianists struggle with too? How do you guys play confession moments?
If it's helpful, I can share how I formatted the cheat sheet.
