I had previously joined Believer Music in 2007 and procrastinated on taking my refresher courses for a long time, till last year. I am glad I made the choice to take up my refresher modules and progress on to new modules. There are new techniques taught which have enabled me to elevate my own playing - both for personal and in caregroup, especially when caregroup friends tell me the worship is anointed (I am a keyboardist in caregroup). I hope to continue to bring anointed and beautiful worship to people around me.

I have learnt many useful techniques in playing the keyboard for worship songs. Our Coach is always patient and encouraging, motivating me to press on learning music.

I had decided to come back to complete the Keyboard program after a 12-year break. The journey from April 2023 to June 2024 (Advanced Worship Dynamics IV) where I have finally graduated has been amazing - God has given me the motivation and the wanting to learn and be able to finish all the Keyboard modules. Most of all, He has helped me with the ability to pick up quickly where I had left off. My Coach has been so patient and ensured that we go home after each class knowing what we are doing and correcting where we have gone wrong. I find myself being able to handle more (different techniques and songs) with each class. So very happy that I am able to worship the Lord with the Keyboard and singing.

I wanted to learn a new instrument and be able to use it for my personal worship. Believer Music fitted the criteria perfectly and the Coach was a bonus.
My classmates also ensured that the class is lively and never boring. They have kept me on my “fingers” (literally) as they are fast learners :)
I’ve introduced the course to my boss and she has signed up with her friend as well.
The staff at the front desk is also friendly and helpful. Keep up the good work!

I have thoroughly enjoyed every keyboard lesson at Believer Music. The coaches are exceptional, making each lesson engaging and enjoyable. Their attentive and personalised approach helps build steady progress for every student. If you're looking for a music school that truly cares about your growth and makes learning fun, I highly recommend Believer Music.

I am very thankful and grateful to the Lord God for blessing me with the opportunity to praise and worship Him at Believer Music. My keyboard experience started in Oct 2022, and by June 2024, I would have completed 77 weeks of beautiful praise and worship experience in the Lord's Presence. I look forward to the keyboard lessons every week not just to pick up the skill of playing the keyboard but I count it as a time and space provided by God for me to come to praise and worship Him in spirit and in truth together with other sisters in Christ from different churches. What makes Believer Music special for me too is the biblical themes and teachings and sharings I learnt in addition to the keyboard skills.
Thank you to the Believer Music team and our kind, patient and diligent coaches. Keep it up!

I enjoyed my lessons with my classmates, under the guidance of my Coach. He is always so patient and encouraging. The syllabus is also systematic and there is always something new at every lesson.

My experience with the keyboard program has been a very enjoyable time for me, learning how to play worship songs despite not having any music background. The Coach is very patient and clear in his explanation, making it easy for us to follow. It has also helped me to get into deeper worship with the Lord, singing and playing the keyboard at the same time which is my dream, just like how David worships the Lord through his music ! I feel so happy and fulfilled! Really grateful for the opportunity to learn the keyboard from scratch, highly recommend to everyone to join Believer Music ! :)

I took up a refresher course in WDI in Oct 2023 after a 12 year gap from when I first attended Believer Music. I came back again because they are the only school teaching Christian worship songs. I am thankful for my Coach’s patience even though I am slower in learning in class due to my age and I am now more confident to progress to ADWDII. I certainly hope for God's help and my Coach’s continuous patience to help me complete all the advance modules so that I can fulfil my dream, since University days, of being able to sing and have personal worship to God on a daily basis.

It’s been challenging for me as I am a slow learner especially when it comes to motor skills. Knowing there is often a lack of keyboard players in my church, I pray I can pick up this skill to serve. I didn’t know that it would be such a difficult task, to manage time to practise, work and serve in other ministries. However I am certain I can do it with God’s help and the coaches’ help; they understand my difficulties and let me go at my pace, allowing me space to adapt. I pray that one day I can master it well. I will continue to train, and pray that I can make it.

What do I learn in 11 weeks?
Our main objective is to equip you to express yourself confidently on the keyboard. The WDI module seeks to deepen your personal devotion with God by equipping you with a deeper understanding of how music can express your emotions. You will learn the meaning behind different chord progressions and how to effectively use them in a song. This module focuses on the Psalms as a language available to us in expressing ourselves in times of crisis. We will introduce ways to enhance the basic chords you've been playing so far to achieve a wider breadth of sounds and orientate you to contemporary rhythms used in current praise songs emerging today. If you've always wanted to find out how to bring more activity into your playing - what we call 'fills' - this is the module for you. You will find new avenues of expression here! *Please see the page under "Believer Keyboard Program" - Beginner, for an introduction to our methodology and general FAQ.
How will these 3 months benefit me as a keyboardist?
At the end of the module, you would have gained: · An understanding of how music communicates our emotions; · Greater fluidity in your playing and better expression of music through fills; · Starting points from which to begin being creative on the keyboard; · The ability to express yourself in prayer, song and recitation of scripture while playing on the keyboard.
