PRAISE AND WORSHIP

I have been to churches where the Q-chord was the only instrument supporting the singing of the congregation.  It sounded great.  The Q-Chord was connected to the PA system and it sounded just as good as a professional organ.  But the best part is that any member of the congregation can learn to play the Q-Chord in just minutes.

When I used to play guitar for Living Word Church in Augusta, Georgia, the pastors wife played the Q-chord, and one of the lead singers kept rhythm with a tambourine.  The combination of guitar, Q-chord, and tambourine was a great trio of instrumental sound.  But, the Q-chord is capable of standing on its own.  A single guitar in a small church worship service, let alone a large church service, can sound a little shallow.  But, the Q-Chord has the fullness of a small orchestra, and it's so easy to play.

HOME MINISTRY

I belong to a home ministry which is one of many programs at Cornerstone Church here in San Antonio.  Home ministries usually have 10 to 20 people in them.  The problem is that most home ministries have no guitar players, or keyboard players.  But, ANYONE in a home ministry or Sunday school class can lead their small group in praise and worship with the greatest of ease.  Adding the support of a Q-chord to a home ministry time of praise and worship will greatly improve everything.  People will return to the home ministry service, and guests will be inclined to join because of the worshipful atmosphere that the Q-chord helps to generate.

SCHOOL TEACHERS
 

It's simple - Just place your finger on the CHORD button and the Q-chord will produce a beautiful harmonious chord.  Then take your other hand and strum the metal strum plate with the soft part of your thumb, and this will create a cascading beautiful chordal sound of your choice.  You can choose from 100 different instruments such as guitar, harp, organ, flute, synth.

There are hundreds of songs that teach.  But, most school teachers do not play a musical instrument.  However, put a Q-chord in the hands of any school teacher and within minutes they can be leading their students in songs that teach American History, Math, Science, Grammar, and other topics.  It's fun, and the children will want to learn how to play it.  This is the best instrument in the world for teaching Music Chord Theory.

FAMILY FUN

The family that sings together sticks together.  Most families do not sing together because there is nothing drawing them together to participate in music.  If someone plays the piano or the guitar, then it is usually just one member of the family, but with the Q-Chord, every member of the family can play the Q-chord.  Family members can sit in a circle and pass the Q-chord around from member to member as they sing their favorite songs with various auto accompaniment Q-chord rhythms, or using the basic Easy Strum mode, or better yet using the song cartridges that plug into the Q-chord that automatically generate famous songs by the Beatles, Elvis, and others.  There are all kinds of music cartridges such as Folk, Pop, Christmas, Gospel, Praise and Worship.

Just picture using the Q-chord on your next camping trip.  You can operate it with batteries that last a long time.  Take it in the car, and the entire family can sing songs to break up the monotony on long trips.  It's portable and comes with an AC adaptor.  There is also a real nice soft shell case that you can use to carry it with you, and there is a side compartment to put your sheet music in.  The Q-Chord takes up very little space -- about the size of a small pillow.  Guitars and keyboards take up a lot of space.  Guitars, and especially keyboards are heavy, but not the Q-Chord.  You can easily store a Q-chord in your SUV, closet, trailor, or even your school locker.
 

The Q-Chord is the perfect instrument to introduce to pre-school children that gives them quick mastery of chord theory and performance.  They too can play in minutes.  This prepares them for difficult instruments such as the piano, guitar, and orchestral instruments.

WRITE YOUR OWN SONGS

A lot of aspiring song writers come up with really good lyrics, but they have trouble creating the chords and melodies for their lyrics.  But, when you have a Q-Chord, it becomes real easy to experiment with different chords and to create chord progressions that would take years of study if you tried to do it with a piano or a guitar.  As you easily create your chord progressions, the beautiful sounds coming from the Q-chord make it easy for you to create melodies for your songs as you sing the lyrics of your new songs in progress.  Remember, the Q-Chord is a professional sounding instrument, just like a professional keyboard that costs thousands of dollars. 

OTHER USES OF THE Q-CHORD

Many blind people are learning about the Q-chord and are now using this professional instrument to bring the joy of music into their lives.  Physically handicapped people who are unable to play difficult instruments such as pianos, guitars, violins, clarinets, trumpets, and other instruments are now participating in the joy of musical expression.  People in nursing homes who have arthritis and are unable to play traditional instruments are now enjoying making music for themselves and others.  Professional music therapists are using the Q-chord in their practice of the healing arts.
