STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
What others are saying
These are reviews from my full course from which the videos in this mini-course are all taken from.
"My piano playing has improved greatly!"
"I have absolutely loved this course by Kris, it has given me motivation to practise and my piano playing has improved greatly! Kris is amazingly clear with what he teaches and there is a lot of content in the seemingly short 20 days. Would recommend!"
- Miriam G, Australia
(20 Day Church Piano Player student)
"By far the best"
"I’ve had other church piano courses but this one is by far the best because it is well-rounded. Not only does Kris cover music skills, the Pastoral Perspectives and Biblical Snapshots keep us focused on why we are there in the first place—to bring glory to God and help the congregation to praise Him. I highly recommend this course for any church pianist of any skill level."
- Kim S, USA
(20 Day Church Piano Player student)
"Easy to understand and apply"
"Each video is short and easy to understand and apply to
other songs. Since I mainly just read music and I’m not creative, they’ve been helpful to me for improv and changing up the way I play hymns which is exactly what I was wanting to work on this summer.”
- Lisa A, USA
Why Consider My Course?
Do you sometimes feel lacking in both competence, and confidence in your role as the church piano player? You want to do the best job you can, and be a blessing to your church, but you don't know where to start?
Or...you're thinking about being the church piano player in your church, but the task seems overwhelming and you don't have lots of $$ for piano lessons, or the time to be searching YouTube for specific tutorials?
Maybe you have been playing worship piano in church for a while, but you want to improve and get out of the "rut" of playing in the same old way?
If this describes you, then the Church Piano Player Mini-Course is the solution you need to get you started and all this for less than the price of one piano lesson!
Not only will you get musical tuition specifically geared towards church piano players, including many tips, and creative ideas - you will also learn the biblical foundations related to church music, and benefit from pastoral perspectives on your role within the local church. Once you've experienced the results for yourself, you might want to consider further training with my other courses.

Meet Your Instructor
Hey everyone! My name is Kris Baines and I've been playing the piano in churches on and off for over 30 years - that makes me feel old!
I basically took the skills I had, and through a lot of trial and error, gradually learned how to to support the congregation, and play in a way that helps (I hope!), rather than hinders worship. There weren't any courses I could take that were specifically for church piano players, and over the years I've realised how many unique aspects there are to that role, compared to playing the piano in any other setting.
There's nothing quite like the joy of being part of helping God's people adore and praise Him, giving Him the glory He deserves. It's a privilege, and a blessing I am thankful for.
Due to the loving encouragement of some special people in my life, I decided to take everything I have learned over the years, and package it all into several online courses to help people like you - church piano players, or those thinking about taking up that role (it's a great decision to make and I'm sure you will be a blessing to your church!). One of the most helpful things about my courses, is that you don't need to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars on piano lessons (that likely don't deal with the specifics of church piano playing), or spend hours and hours searching YouTube for tutorials - you just need to put the time and effort into learning the essential concepts and skills required to play music in church, and support your congregation as they sing.
In addition to this, because I have spent 26 years serving as a pastor in a few churches, I understand the dynamics of congregational worship, from both sides of the piano. Because of that, I decided to make this course a bit different, and give you not just the musical instruction, but also the theological foundations, and pastoral perspectives, that really help you have a well-rounded understanding of being a church musician.
If you want to find out a bit more about me, you can check out my website krisbaines.com and as I've been an independent musician for some time now, you can also find my music streaming on all major platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Pandora (USA only). If you want to hear my "life story/testimony" you can listen to that here from a podcast hosted by Church & Family Life.
I was born in the UK, where I now live with my wife Becky and 8 of our 9 children (one is married). However, until late last year we had been living in the beautiful country of New Zealand for 26 years where I worked as a pastor, paramedic, and pianist (all those 'p' words!). First and foremost, I am a follower of Christ, thankful to have been saved by His amazing grace, and then I'm a husband and father. After that, I get to help people like you play better, and bless your church!
Thanks for reading, and I hope to see you sometime soon on the course!
Here's a little showreel of some of my music work - I hope you enjoy it!
Happy playing!
Kris
Who Is This Course For?

Frequently Asked Questions
What skill level is this program for?
This course caters for various levels of piano playing ability. If you've had lessons previously, and/or can play some basic tunes, with both hands and in time, you're good to go. As long as you know your note names, basic piano technique, and have some playing experience, you will be able to take your playing to the next level, play in a style that complements and supports congregational singing, and actually sounds good too! The method that I mostly teach in this course, is that of playing chords from a lead sheet, rather than from a fully notated score. There will be refreshers on the basics, so don't worry if you're a bit rusty!
Alternatively, if you are more of an intermediate player, or perhaps you can play from music, but you would love to learn how to play from chords, and embellish - you're the perfect person for the course.
This course is not teaching you how to play, but how to play better.
How long do I have access to the program & when does it start?
As soon as you've made the one-time purchase of the CHURCH PIANO PLAYER MINI-COURSE, you will have lifetime acesss (I don't know if that's as long as you're alive, or me - maybe both!).
Can't I learn all of this on YouTube?
Well, probably not without spending hours and hours of your time searching for relevant tutorials. This can be a very disorganised way of learning, but with the CHURCH PIANO PLAYER MINI-COURSE, you have everything you need in one place - for life! YouTube can be great to supplement your learning (because I don't know everything and there's other good instructors out there!) but with this course you will get a comprehensive learning experience of relevant and specific skills.
What kind of music do you play/use in the course?
Something that was very important to me about putting together this course, was to make sure it revolved around only biblically sound church music. Most of the tutorials will feature sections from traditional hymns, but playing in a more fresh/contemporary way - not super modern, and not old and stale - you get the idea! I'll also use some modern biblically sound worship songs/hymns that have been a blessing to the church in recent years. I intend to add more of these to the course, but due to copyright issues, I need to be careful what/how much I use. The great thing is, I'm teaching you tips and techniques that you can apply to any music you play!
