Professional Keyboards and Synthesizers
When many worship leaders think
of a Professional Keyboard or Synthesizer,
they immediately think of technology-based
instruments more suited to a concert
stage or a producer's studio. However,
there is a very good reason that
so many songs in contemporary worship
are driven by synthesizers and pro-keyboards
– this is because the music
workstation keyboard or synthesizer
has, arguably, the greatest flexibility
of all instruments.
So what do you need in a pro-keyboard?
Well there is a keyboard out there
for just about every circumstance
and can deliver incredible grand
pianos, strings, guitars and even
percussion. Stage Pianos tend to
be the most popular choice for traditional
worship teams. These instruments
can replace the need for an acoustic
piano in the church, offering unparalleled
acoustic sounds in a portable, easy-to-use
design – all without the need
to tune.
Move a little more towards contemporary
and you may consider a Music Workstation
Keyboard. This would be appropriate
if you want to add some orchestral
accompaniment or soft background
voices to fill out a choir, fill
in for a player or two in the band,
or instantly create the sound of
a full ensemble when your worship
team is only one or two members
deep.
Not only do these instruments generally
include the broadest range of instrument
sounds they also include incredible
features: How about the ability
to record a soloist's voice (when
he/she is double booked), to be
replayed during services by pressing
a single button? OR; your team wrote
a song but only has two players
- with a single instrument they
can record part of or an entire
performance ahead of time, and play
(and sing) along to each service
- imagine the possibilities!
Looking for more creative sound
possibilities? Add a synthesizer
to "customize" your worship
band's sound. It’s a great
way to energize the youth in your
congregation with the latest sounds
and technology.
Whatever your musical tastes are,
there is a keyboard out there to
take your service to the next level.
Adding a Pro-keyboard to a Worship
choir/band’s instrument lineup
can boost inspiration, enhance creativity
and overall, help enthuse the congregation
and enable them to get the most
from their worship experience.
