sharp.' 'B flat' is the same note as 'A sharp.' You
refer to the note either way depending upon the

A chord is comprised of three notes.
C-E-G - D-F-A etc. Play using your
1-3-5 fingers (RH) and 5-3-1 (LH).
RH - Start w/ your 1 finger (thumb) on middle C - for the next chord continue up the keyboard chromatically (i.e. each
note whether white or black). Play block chords (all 3 notes in unison). Include LH block chords when ready.

For minor chords - simply 'flat' the
third by moving your finger a minor
second down the keyboard.
