I’m going live for about 30 minutes to show you what I’ve been working on behind the scenes. I’ll give you a sneak peek at the new 101 course, answer questions, and I’d love your feedback on where Gospel Keys Shed should go next. Hope to see you there!

Just wanted to let y’all know what’s happening behind the scenes. I’ve been rebuilding Gospel Keys Shed from the ground up. The free "Start Here" course isn’t live just yet (not because I forgot about it 😄) because it points directly into the brand-new Black Gospel Keyboard 101 course and I’m actually reworking that first. Instead of just polishing the old lessons, I’m simplifying everything. The goal is to get you playing sooner and build confidence faster. Basically making the learning path a lot clearer than before. What this means for you guys: - shorter lessons - better progression - more practical playing - less overwhelm I’m also rebuilding several of the other courses while I’m at it, so you’re going to see Gospel Keys Shed evolving over the next few weeks. I figured instead of disappearing until everything was “perfect,” I’d bring y’all along for the journey. Your comments, questions, and struggles actually help shape what I teach next. Plus seeing people like @Kathy jumping back into the community has me excited again. I’m thinking about doing a casual 30-minute live tomorrow evening just to hang out, answer questions, and show a little of what I’m working on. No formal lesson just us talking music. Would y’all be interested? — Chris

Hey everyone! Over the last few months, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about where I want this community to go. Many of you remember when this was Gospel Progressions University. As this community has grown, I’ve realized the vision has grown too. The new name, Gospel Keys Shed, reflects what I’ve always wanted this to become. Not just a place to watch videos but a place where church musicians learn, practice, ask questions, encourage each other, and grow together. So over the next few weeks you’ll start seeing some exciting changes. 🎹 A refreshed Gospel Keys Shed brand 🎹 The new Song Vault, with regularly added tutorials 🎹 More free Lab live sessions 🎹 More Behind the Keys posts, where I’ll share stories from my own journey, lessons I’ve learned, and the real-life experiences that shaped me as a church musician 🎹 Simpler learning paths designed to get you playing faster while still building a solid musical foundation One of the biggest changes you’ll notice is that I’m putting more emphasis on getting you playing sooner. You’ll still learn the “why” behind the music, but I want you experiencing success early and building confidence as you go. My mission hasn’t changed. I still want to help church musicians become confident, creative, and well-equipped players. I’m just building a better way to get there. If you’ve been here since the Gospel Progressions University days, thank you. . You’ve helped shape this community more than you probably realize, and I’m excited about where we’re headed next. One thing I believe now more than ever is this: I’m not trying to build the biggest gospel keyboard course. I’m trying to build the best place for church musicians to learn, practice, and grow together. I’d love to hear from you. What’s one area of your playing you’d love to improve over the next few months? Let’s build something special. — Chris

Real talk. I know a lot of people see me as the teacher, the keyboard guy, or the one who already knows what to play. But I remember what it felt like to be unsure, trying to catch changes, trying not to sound lost, trying to keep up when the drummer or preacher shifted the whole room. That’s one reason I built this group. Not just to drop lessons, but to help people feel less stuck. So let me ask: What’s one moment in church service where you still feel unsure about what to play?
