Meet Your Instructor

kris baines church pianists

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 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 some 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 the courses I offer, 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 (these are more prominent in the full 20 Day Church Piano Player course).

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 am now living 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!

Frequently Asked Questions

What skill level is this program for?

This course is best suited for students who have some basic piano playing experience, a knowledge of the notes (on the piano, not the sheet music), and the ability to play basic chords etc. In the full 20 Day Church Piano Player course, there's a "Music Theory Bootcamp" section that goes over all the basics required to be a competent church piano player - so this may be an option for you.

This course is not teaching you how to play, but how to play better.

What results can I expect?

As stated above, this course is a selection of material from the full course, 20 Day Church Piano Player. The selection of modules will help to give you some fresh creative ideas to enhance your church piano playing. You will notice a difference if you take the time to learn the content, practice it, and implement it into the songs you play in church. For a broader learning experience as a church piano player (practical, theological, pastoral) you may want to consider the 20 Day Church Piano Player course.

How long do I have access to the program?

This course has lifetime access which means you can access the content now and any time in the future.

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 WORSHIP PIANO TOOLKIT, you have an organised selection of tutorials, specifically designed for church piano players.

What kind of music do you play/use in the training?

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. 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!
