How to Understand the Difference Between a Chord Letter Name and a Chord Number Name

In this video, How to Understand the Difference Between a Chord Letter Name and a Chord Number from our Hymn Improvising Series, we dive deep into the essential concepts of chord theory for church pianists. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced pianist, understanding how to improvise on hymns using both chord letter names (C, G, F, etc.) and chord numbers (I, IV, V, etc.) is key to unlocking a more dynamic and expressive performance. This video will guide you through the basics of chord identification and how to apply them effectively to hymn arrangements.

If you’re a church pianist looking to improve your improvisation skills, this lesson will help you move beyond simply playing written notes and start thinking in terms of chord progressions and harmonic structure. Learn how to recognize and use chord numbers in relation to chord letter names, helping you enhance your improvisation, add variety to your playing, and confidently navigate hymnals.
