December 28, 2009 by Ryan Edward · Leave a Comment
What if you could lock yourself in a room and get 4.5 hours of ministry-focused instruction from the man behind many of your favorite gospel albums?
Would that excite you?
Well, you’re definitely in luck! Because I’ve found a resource that will uncover tons of contemporary gospel secrets from one of the baddest gospel musicians in the industry today, Mr. Jason White!
You’ll get the opportunity to learn flavorful approaches, chords, movements, patterns, “licks & tricks,” and real songs from Jason White, but not only that…
You’ll learn the music ministry side of things too. This isn’t just for someone who wants to steal a bunch of chords and sound good, although you’ll get dozens upon dozens of chords and will certainly sound 10 times better after devouring this course. This is deeper than that though.
This is for the musician who truly wants to be used by God to usher in His presence through music. The musician who no longer wants to be a distraction or hindrance to the service but actually be an integral part of the worship experience.
Jason is ready to show you what he’s picked up over the years as he’s had the privilege to walk closely with prominent pastors like Bishop Charles Blake.
This is a holistic course focusing both on the creative music side and the ministry side. You will not go wrong with it.
Brief description of each disc below:
Disc 1: Get an in-depth look at how to play hymns in a contemporary way without sacrificing the melody. From “To God Be The Glory,” to “Oh How I Love Jesus,” you’ll learn Jason White’s way of flipping these hymns, chord by chord!
Disc 2: In the second part of this course, you’ll learn what Jason White calls “church bebop” and the “old school shuffle.” Both of these styles are found in tons of choir songs, praise songs, and devotional music like “I’m On the Battlefield.”
Disc 3: The third part of the course is all about praise and worship. You’ll learn dozens of contemporary chords to play during this part of the service and how to alter the atmosphere of the church by choosing your chords and progressions carefully.
Disc 4: The last part of the course covers shouting music. From traditional patterns to modern routes, you’ll learn insider secrets behind Jason White’s shouting style! Chords, licks, fill-ins, basslines, runs, and more!

Time after time, I have come across pianists who cannot read music well and rely on memorization to save them. Do you admire pianists who can just pick up any piece of sheet music and play without stumbling?
