Play Hymns With Confidence, Expression, and Purpose
A faith-filled approach to learning sacred music—designed for church pianists, worshipers, and hymn lovers who want to glorify God through every note.
We’re Not Just Teaching Piano. We’re Cultivating Worshipers.
Our Approach
Through our courses, students learn to move beyond the notes and into meaningful, Spirit-led music that honors the Lord and encourages others.
Our Mission
At Hymns With Phil, we believe hymn playing is more than a skill—it’s a calling. We don’t just want to create technically proficient pianists. We want to raise up servants of God who worship with their whole hearts and use their gifts to strengthen the Church.
Our Promise
Grounded in Scripture, our mission is to equip you with:
- Clarity in your musical journey.
- Confidence in your role as a church pianist. Tools to play worshipfully, not just accurately.
- A community that values excellence and grace.
"As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God."
-
1 Peter 4:10 (KJV)

Mastering Hymns
The Church Pianist's Guide
Our signature course helps you build a strong foundation in hymn playing—no matter your background. If you can play a melody with your right hand, you can succeed here.
You’ll learn how to transform a basic hymnal into a rich, expressive arrangement using tools that feel accessible, achievable, and rooted in worship.
This is where we begin—but it’s also where many rediscover their joy and purpose at the piano.
