Although I completed my classical piano grade 8 when I was in secondary school, I felt really handicapped and embarrassed if I were approached to play the keyboard with the worship team without any proper music scores.
Many were curious about why, with my grade 8 background, I was reluctant to serve. Most could not understand the dilemma: I could not read and play with just the alphabet chords!
I am thankful that I decided to join the Believer Keyboard Program to start my journey to learn how to play contemporary worship songs in a systematic approach. I had lots of fun practising for the first time, reading the scriptures, praying and worshipping while playing the chords. Looking forward to a new term starting in January 2024.
Thank you Believer Music Team!

I thank God that throughout the course, I can understand how I am weak but God is strong. Lessons progress pretty fast, I pray that I can continue to keep it up.

I have learnt much and enjoyed every single lesson. Even though some sessions might be challenging, I am thankful for the patience that my Coach has shown to all his students and will check in with everyone of us if we are following. Indeed, Believer Music has ensured that no one is left behind.

I used to hate practising piano when I was a kid learning classical piano. I will only start practising 30 mins before the lesson. I dreaded piano lessons!
I can’t believe that 25 years later, I enjoy playing and practising the keyboard throughout the week before my lessons. I have never practised so hard in my life! I am enjoying my lessons so far!

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Regardless of age or gender or how much you know about music, the worship dynamics program speaks for itself, as the spirit of God leads us into higher worship and into the inner courts of the tabernacle. May God’s grace walk you through even if you face challenges during the course. Rest assured all the coaches are anointed and filled with the spirit of patience to teach and generosity to impart their skills to all students who are willing to learn or relearn. Have fun and enjoy the journey. God bless.

The service provided was good, I am glad they offered a 30-mins free trial to give me a feel of playing, the instructor was encouraging and patient with me, the lesson pace was good.

2 years ago, after Covid broke out and seeing how time flies, I decided to make full use of whatever time I have on hand to learn something new/pick up a new skill. I have always wanted to learn gospel music and waited for quite some time for the Believer Keyboard Program to start.
I started from beginner class and eventually moved to advanced levels. I have to admit at my age, I felt like I had to work doubly hard to catch up with each lesson.
But my coach is such an amazing coach. I enjoyed her lessons so much; she makes it super easy for me to understand, especially the theory portion. She is patient and always motivates us. She is also responsive to my questions outside of our class schedule.
When I first started the lessons, I was diagnosed with lupus and have difficulties playing the keyboard with my swollen joints (fingers, wrists and arms). 2 years later, by God's grace, I was healed of my pains. I can now play the keyboard with ease and zero pain.
With the knowledge and skills I have acquired about gospel music, I look forward to serving my Care group through leading worship.

My coach is amazing and so inspiring. I really enjoyed her classes. I still practise the very basics. The lessons motivated me to look out for resources that could keep me and another classmate playing and singing simple worship songs. Really love my coach’s playing and singing and the encouragement and energy she brings to the class. Thank you!

I've attended random keyboard/piano courses here and there both in my childhood and as an adult... and it was only at Believer Music that I finally understood chords!! The lessons are well scaffolded and bite-sized, allowing us to master bits at a time, slowly building up our skills by building on what was taught previously. I'm in my 10th class where we revisited the songs done in earlier classes and tried to play them in new styles, with the new skills we had picked up. A very good feeling of accomplishment. At almost 50, I'm enjoying learning and being able to pick up a new skill!

When COVID-19 hit, I started playing keyboard again (had taken lessons at BM some years back). Once Circuit Breaker was over, I started classes immediately. Learning has been a very fun journey for me as I was keen to improve my skills. The Teachers see this as not just a job, but a passion to impart their knowledge to equip more Christians for music ministry. All my keyboard teachers are very dedicated and will patiently answer your questions (no matter how basic the questions are).
I am very happy to say that I have now joined the BM Band classes as Keyboardist, which has been thoroughly fun for me, learning to play as a team and listening to my teammates (guitarist, bass guitarist, drummer, singer). Kudos to whoever started the Band classes as it is an excellent idea to have a Band class (with a coach) in BM so students can apply what they have learnt and bring it to the next steps. Enjoy the learning journey!
