HYMN IMPROVISATION

This site is dedicated to helping church musicians feel more comfortable improvising on hymns in order to improve worship through music in their congregations. It is directed at members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, but the principles discussed can be applied to the music of any faith.
