Trying to minister 2

[blessedmusician94]

Hello yet again ministers in Christ. Once again i have an issue..... i practice daily but i cant seem to get a routine down. For example, I usually start off with my scales, then move on to chords inversions and after that I'm lost. I try to practice progressions but i feel like i'm spinning my wheels. I'm not really looking for a routine, because with a routine you eventually you stop progressing I guess what I'm asking is can someone please help me find a foundation that i can bulid off of, or a list of things for beginners that are vital to becoming a minsister of music. So far this my practice session:

Hannon exercise #1
Scales (mostly major and minor and pentatonic... blues and jazz i'm slowly leaning towards)
learning chords and their inversons ( mostly tirads......slowly getting into M7)
finally progressions

Is it really essential to know the other scales like the Aeolian Lydian etc? hope i spelled them right  

any additions or subtraction to this would be a big help.
thank you and God Bless!!!

Practice the progressions in your worship songs - try different inversions of the chords and leave the melody out (that's what singers are for). Also try singing w/the songs. Remember, worship is what you do, so make seeking the Lord part of your routine....Blessings

Many times in my practices, I take a song that I've learned and figure out the name of the chords or the numbers of the chords in the "progression scale" so I can learned to play that song in every key, or to play the chords in every key....

               Hopefully this can help you somehow,

Excellent idea... This will help you get closer to God, and who doesn't want to do that?
