For this song tutorial breakdown, we look at the Gospel-Spitural “Jesus Is a Rock In A Weary Land” In the key of Eb minor. The tutorial has supplemental materials for download, such as Practice backing Tracks, Scores, Chord Charts, and MIDI files. There are three lesson levels:
- Beginner: This lesson covers the basic chords with the simple rhythms.
- Intermediate: This lesson introduces the use of seventh chords and additional rhythms
- Advanced: This lesson introduces reharmonization, advanced rhythms, and weaving in the melody for solo piano.

Beautiful arrangements!
The three levels all have a different ambience. The beginner level has lyrical arpeggios. The intermediate level has the traditional gospel church flavor. There is a driving rhythm within the chords themselves that is "pat your foot, clap your hands fun". The advanced level sounds like a spiritual played on the next level of jazz voicing. I highly recommend these arrangements!

These arrangements are absolutely beautiful and the lessons and explanations of each concept help me to know for sure that I am intermediate [right now] but with some diligent study and practice I could one day be advanced!
