Just wonder if any of you perform The Star-Spangled Banner?
If so, do your sing it or do instrumentally? What key do you do it in? Do use styles, backing track, acapella, or?

I'd like add The Star-Spangled Banner to my repertoire and I'm exploring options. I'm curious about other keyboardists approach the national anthem.

I use the Piano Ballad style, tempo of 70, 3rd intro, and progress through the variations. I sing it in the key "G", but of course, this will depend on your vocal comfort zone.

I always play a medley with The Star-Spangled Banner. Never alone unless requested.

I do it in Ab, with a grand piano + a warm string bed. I sing it most of the time...


I'll play it on patriotic holidays and when its requested...not too often otherwise.

For many of my accounts, I finish my set with either God Bless America, America the Beautiful or God Bless the USA...

You could use your harmonizer to help your vocal rendition of the National Anthem. Here is an example of how you can auto pitch correct your vocal. I generally do not sing the SB because of the range of the song.
