Piano Chords One is a book for beginners, yes, but it's also for those who took classical piano lessons and wished they had learned more about chord theory. How great would it be to hear a song on the radio and be able to play it without needing the notes written out? This is a solution.
This book is for beginners or if you've taken traditional piano lessons but would like to learn how to play by ear.
You'll learn root position and first and second inversion chords for the keys of C, G, F, D, A, E, and B (All the white key keys). You'll go in that order while working through this book because each key adds a new sharp or flat note. This is called following the circle of fifths. It doesn't take long before you feel like you've advanced in your playing.
You'll learn all of these chords as part of this beautifully laid out course:
- The Key of C: C, Dm, C/E, F, G, Am, G/B
- The Key of G: G, Am, G/B, C, D, Em, D/F#
- The Key of F: F, Gm, F/A, Bb, C, Dm, C/E
- The Key of D: D, Em, D/F#, G, A, Bm, A/C#
- The Key of A: A, Bm, A/C#, D, E, F#m, E/G#
- The Key of E: E, F#m, E/G#, A, B, C#m, B/D#
- The Key of B: B, C#m, B/D#, E, F#, G#m, F#/A#
