Playing piano chords with both hands pdf

Piano chords come in any number of shapes and sizes...much like people!They are made up of different numbers of notes, can be in different keys, have progressive formats for the one chord, and create a sense of fullness in our sound on the piano. If you have learned single notes and are able to play them on the piano, you are ready to learn about
chords and how to play them. One of the biggest differences you're going to find in playing chords versus single notes is that you get a lot more sound when you play them because there are more notes to play at one time. Another difference is that you'll hear harmony from the combination of notes being played together, versus the more melodic lines
you get with just playing one note at a time. The most important things to learn about chords is the 4 main types of chords, how to spell them, and how to play chord progressions. First, let's look at what we mean when we say "spell chords". Spelling out chords is exactly what it sounds like it is - you literally say/spell the note names of the chord you
are learning before you play it. How many notes are in your chord? Now name each of them, starting from the bottom and going to the top. That's all there is to it...it's as easy as A - B - C. Or, C - E - G-, as in the C major Chord in the 2nd image. Now that you know how to Spell Chords, let's learn the 4 main different types of chords we encounter in
piano music. Chords always start with a root note or bottom note. The rest of the chord structure is based upon this root note in all chords. There can be any number of notes in one chord, even as little as 2. Here are the 4 main types of chords you need to know. A Major Chord is a chord that has a root, (bottom note), another note that is a major 3rd
above the root, and another note that is a perfect 5th above the root note. *When there are just 3 notes like in this case, we call this a Major Triad*A Minor Chord is a chord that has a root, (bottom note), another note that is a minor 3rd above the root, and another note that is a perfect 5th above the root. *Since there are just 3 notes in this chord, we
call it a Minor Triad*An Augmented Chord is one that starts with the root note, then has a major 3rd note, with an Augmented 5th. This simply means that the 5th of the chord is raised by 1/2 step. A Diminished Chord is one that starts with the root note, has a root note, then a minor 3rd, with a Diminished 5th. This simply means that you lower the
5th of the chord by 1/2 step. Now that we know the main different types of chords, let's learn about Chord Progressions and what a few of the main patterns are that we run into when learning them. Chord Progressions are very common in piano music and simply put, are different sequences of chords and chord structures in a piece. These different
progressions provide harmonic structure to the melody of the piece and are used in every key that you will play in so once you get the main ones learned, you're on your way to moving through them easily in your music. The most common Chord Progressions that you will learn are the 1, 4, and 5 patterns. What this means, is that the chords you play
will begin with either the 1st, 4th, or 5th note of the scale. For example, in the key of C major, the 1 chord, would start with the note C since C is the 1st note in the C scale; the 4 chord would start with the note F since F is the 4th note in the C scale; and the 5 chord would start with the note G since the 5th note in the C scale is G. Now that you know
about Chords and Chords Progressions, it's time to learn hands on how to play them and recognize them on the keyboard. The best way to learn chords and the main progressions that you need to know to get started playing them is to see what they look like in music and on the keyboard.That's exactly what this video will do for you and there's a link
for you to download a Chord practice sheet that I also go over with you in this video. You will also learn the best way to practice your chords so that you retain what you've learned while adding in new ones to your repertoire. Learning how to play the piano with both hands together can seem like a bit of a puzzle to figure out! Can you pat your tummy
while you rub your head at the same time? Or do the reverse?Maybe not the first time, but after a few tries, you can! This is just what it is like when we start playing with both hands together on our piano keyboards. Each hand is doing its own thing but at the same time. Playing with both hands together is one of the biggest challenges any new piano
player faces. Once this technique is mastered, however, a whole new door of music and learning opens up and your piano playing will move into an exciting new level. Let's look at some important things to do when you're first starting to play with both of your hands together on the piano. When we look at a piece of piano music, we see that the top
and bottom lines have different notes in them. The top notes are the Treble Clef notes and these are played with our right hands.The bottom notes are the Bass Clef notes and these are played with our left hands.Ultimately, we end up playing both the top and bottom lines of music at the same time. In order to do this, though, we need to break down
the music and learn one hand at a time. Start with the top line which is the Treble Clef line and is played with your right hand. Make sure you know how many beats you are counting in each measure and what your key signature is. Read through your notes verbally at least once before you start playing them on the piano. Play through the Treble
notes on your keyboard next and do this several times until you feel you know the music.Next, do the same steps with the bottom line which is the Bass Clef and is played with your left hand. TIP:Don't try to play either line faster than you can correctly. This will have an effect on your ability to play both lines of music together. Remember, you can
always speed up your tempo later on, after you've mastered this technique in a slower tempo. Are you ready to try both hands together? Let's see what you need to do first in the next step. Next, we're going to break the music down a different way from how we did it to learn each line of music separately. Take just the first measure. In this example,
we have 4 quarter notes in the Treble Clef along with a whole note in the Bass Clef. If you want to review each hand separately before trying them together that's fine; do that as much as you need to.Now, put your finger down on the Bass Clef C note at the same time you put your Middle C finger down in the Treble Clef and hold the Bass note while
you play each note in the treble clef throughout the measure, for 4 counts. Notice that you don't have to lift or move your left-hand note even though you do, in your right-hand notes. Play this measure with both hands together as many times as you need to to get secure with the notes and rhythm. See how much easier it is when you break it all down
into smaller sections? Now that you've gotten the first measure learned, move on to the second measure and do the same process. Slow down your tempo if you're having any difficulties. When you've worked through the first 2 measures separately, try playing them together and keep doing that until you can play them as a group of measures
comfortably. Keep doing this throughout the entire piece until you are able to play all of the notes in both hands together. TIP: Be aware of where rhythmic and note patterns change from measure to measure as this will help you play them all together smoothly and easily. Now it's time to put all of this together so you can be sure that you're doing
everything correctly! Come Practice With Me in the Final Step!This quick video tutorial takes you through the steps we've gone over here using the same sample that is in the images and it will reinforce your learning as you play along with me and see just how easy it can be to play your piano with both hands together. Once you've mastered this skill
in easier music, you'll be able to move on to playing both hands together faster and smoother with more difficult music, in no time. Learn to read and form piano chords and inversions, with illustrated keyboard fingering, staff notation, and simple interval breakdowns. Brandy Kraemer A diminished chord is built with a root, a minor third, and a
diminished fifth. Diminished chords — which can sound bizarre, enigmatic, confused, or dissonant — are natural occurrences; there is one diminished chord in each musical key:▪ Diminished Piano Triads▪ Diminished 7th & Half-Diminished Chords Brandy Kraemer An augmented chord has a root, a major third, and an augmented fifth. Like the
diminished chord, its sound is slightly “off-center.” But the augmented chord tends to be happier and less ambiguous than its diminished cousin, and does not occur naturally in any key: Augmented Piano Triads Augmented 7th & Augmented M7 Chords Treble Chord Fingering Bass Chord Fingering​ The 6 Enharmonic Key Signatures If you’re familiar
with the circle of fifths (or you just know your way around the key signatures) you may have noticed a few anomalies. Some keys – like B-sharp and F-flat major – are seemingly absent, while others go by two names The Inefficient Keys The circle of fifths shows only the working scales. But, if we expand on its pattern, we can see that it’s actually more
of an infinite spiral, so there’s no end to the possibilities of musical scales. Table of Working & Non-Working KeysSee a clear visual of which keynotes are workable and which would be redundant.

Knowing the correct piano fingering for your left hand improves playing speed and eases
the formation of piano chords. Generally, your left hand plays the notes lower (to the left) of middle C—the lower staff or bass clef—and supports the melody, as well as sets the rhythm. Piano fingering for the left hand is similar to right hand fingering, as indicated in these basic rules: Fingers are numbered 1–5; the thumb is always 1, and the little
finger is 5. Fingers 1 and 5 should be kept off accidentals whenever possible. After playing black keys, aim to land on a white key with your thumb or little finger. This technique goes for both ascending and descending scales played by either hand. The left hand often plays rhythm in piano music, but you will play many left-handed melodies and
arpeggios. Practice the following finger techniques to build dexterity in the left hand: In ascending scales, the third or fourth finger crosses over the thumb. So, if you start a C scale with the little finger of the left hand, your thumb will play G, at which point your ring or middle finger crosses over your thumb to play A. In descending scales, the thumb
crosses under the third or fourth finger. For example, if you start with C, your ring finger plays G, at which point your thumb crosses under to play the F key. Fingering for piano bass chords is just like fingering for treble chords, except the numbers are inverted: Triads (three-note chords) are formed using fingers 5-3-1.There are exceptions: The
formation 5-2-1 is used when a chord demands a wide finger span. This can be seen in an A minor chord in the second inversion. Another exception involves accidentals. Just like in scales, fingers 2-3-4 are best for black keys. Therefore, if a triad began with an accidental, it would also begin with the fourth finger: A D major triad in the first inversion—
whose notes are F#-A-D—is played with the fingering 4-2-1. Tetrads (four-note chords) are formed using fingers 5-3-2-1. Tetrad chords follow the same rules (and exceptions) as triads, and like with triads, you should adjust tetrad fingering for the sake of efficiency. For example, if you need your third finger for another note, use the 5-4-2-1 fingering
position instead. To increase dexterity and strength in your left hand, use your left hand to play the right-hand melody. Practice this exercise for at least 15 to 30 minutes each day. Also, 30 minutes of scales practice with your left hand will improve your skills, building coordination, speed, and agility. To learn to synchronize the left and right hands,
play the melody with both hands at the same time. Do the same thing with scales. Eventually, your left hand will develop the skill level to match that of the right hand.
