"During the time that I taught music in high school and college, several of my students expressed an interest in learning to play Gospel Music. Like many other teachers, I began looking for a piano method which I could recommend to my students that focused on playing Gospel (this way, I wouldn't have to constantly wrack my brain trying to figure out what I was doing ´naturally´). After calling music stores across the country from New York to California, and even being referred to Europe, I was told the same thing over and over again: ´We do not have such a book, nor do we know of any such book in print on this subject.´ So, I figured, if no books were out there, I might as well write one! After analyzing what I was doing, and researching Gospel Music in more depth, the end result was, Precious Lord! How to Play Gospel Music."
The Jefferson How to Play Gospel Music books are now carried by major distributors and book stores across the country and abroad, such as Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and are also used by several colleges and universities.
