[Bb] _ _ _ [N] So my name is Corey Henry.
[A] Where are you from?
I'm from Brooklyn, New York. _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [A] Oh, _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ [Db] _ _ okay. _
_ [B] _ _ _ [Dbm] My musical pedagogy [Ab] was, _ _ it was kind of extensive in the sense [Db] that _ _ I was able to listen [A] to a lot of [Ab] music.
So it wasn't [Bb] much hands-on where somebody was telling me [Ab] what to play or, you know, pushing me, you know, to be a certain type of way.
I was just blessed [Bb] enough to be in the right place, you know, at the right [Ab] time.
My mother played _ several instruments.
And as a result of her being in the scene, I guess, I was able to be around some of the great gospel artists of that time in the early 90s, late 80s, whatever.
And that's _ basically shaped _ a discipline in my early years, [Db] which made me, you know, just play, you know, more [G] _ inside.
[Bb] Like it wasn't, you know, back then they wasn't really letting _ cats play a lot [Gb] of, _ you know, chops and a lot of crazy stuff over the music.
So, yeah, I would say that in the earlier years, it was extensive because I was able to [D] listen.
And [Bb] really, if you were able to, like, [N] listen to music, you know what I'm saying, and understand like where it's coming from, you could play pretty much whatever you whatever you want to play.
Corey used to walk around making noise, banging on a piano, going, _ _ _
_ _ Until one day my mother told him, boy, that boy going to be a star.
You must got music in his head.
And ever since then, two or three years old, they put him on the organ.
And [Abm] the rest is history, [A] man.
I grew up in the Kojic [C] church _ named Unity Temple.
[F] And, you know, [G] like I was saying, it's just [C] devotional service.
And they just start singing and you just had to play.
And back [Ab] back in those days when I was younger, [D] [A] my church actually had a lot of musicians. _
[C] And in [F] normal churches [G] or not normal, what other churches [D] rather, where there was more drummers than organists and [C] keyboard players,
[F] my church actually had more organists and keyboard players than [E] drummers.
So if you wanted to [G] play kind of, you know, and it [Bb] was only one organ for a large majority [D] of that.
So if you wanted to [G] play, you had to kind of know how to play in all your [D] keys.
So if they [F] started a song, you [Eb] know, God is a good God or whatever.
And [G] they're, you know, singing in an E or something like [G] that.
It [B] was kind of hard to push them up [F] to F in the middle of a [Fm] song.
So I think I discovered, you know, at an early age, you [A] know, I just, oh, I hear that key.
And I was just like, OK, [G] that sounds like [C] A flat.
It sounds like B.
And [A] I just went on from there and just develop it and just went on [N] from there. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [F] _
Try to play the song correct.
[Eb] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _
[Dbm] _ _ [Gbm] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ What's your [G] name? _ _
Corby Perry.
And how old are you?
Four.
[Bb] What do you want to be when you get big?
_ _ _ [D] _ _
[Bb] I want to eat my food.
You want to eat your food when you get big? _
[Gb] What about the organ and stuff?
_ What can [Ab] I say?
Yeah.
You want to be a musician?
_ _ You know, Cooper asked me a question.
I don't know if [N] you've seen this.
Cooper asked me a question.
I'm like four years old and I play.
I play like eight songs.
This is like at the church.
He's like, so when you go older, where are you going to play at?
The church or the world?
And I go, the [Bbm] world. _
[Eb] Mad loud in front of all the church people.
[D] And they all say, the [Bb] world.
No, you're not.
You're not going to play at the world.
You're not going to do that.
[Gm] Playing in [Fm] church brings in your ear to play fast.
But that doesn't mean [E] my ear wouldn't have been there if I hadn't played [N] in church.
_ Playing classical or another form of music first.
Gets some serious training.
Makes you.
Yeah, it makes you [Gbm] train.
And then another thing church does is once you get to a place [E] of understand,
[Gb] when they understand you, [F] they call you [E] master.
They was calling me Master Corey [Eb] at five years old.
Why was I [C] ever calling me Master Corey?
I [Abm] couldn't tell my truth.
I didn't even [Dm] know that the organ was called a hammock.
So like once [Ab] you start playing in church and [F] you can play a good A flat [Ab] shout
and you know how to play a blessed assurance.
They think you're the best.
Yeah, [N] exactly.
The majority of churches, especially in New York, you know what I'm saying?
People aren't getting to their full potential because they are playing that A flat shout,
[Dbm] you know, and then they can play it in E flat and then [N] they can do all of that other like regular church stuff.
And they never heard.
They don't know.
Forget Glingu.
They didn't know that Chick Corea broke Spain.
Then they just think all Chick is is Spain.
So like they get to one plateau, level four, you know what I'm saying?
Level three of playing and they'll just stay there.
Whereas [D] in classical _ jazz or any other form, art form music, it's like you couldn't even play _ unless you [E] had, _
_ you know, [B] a _ amount of chops, _ [D] you know, or a certain type of level to your playing.
[B] You couldn't even get on the card.
