Those arrows indicate to count UP by half-steps the number shown next to the arrow. To make a Major chord: Start with any key (as shown here, "C," which is known as the "tonic" when in the key of C, hold that key, then count up 4 half-steps to find the next note of the chord, hold onto it, and then count up 3 more half-steps to find the next note i...
As a child, I had no idea how much time the exercises must have taken for her to write-- for all of those keys, too! -- but even then, I appreciated and enjoyed playing these patterns. There seemed something a bit magical and comforting in this routine:playing a pattern in one key, and then repeating it in another key, necessarily adjusting hand po...
I always begin assigning the 12 major scales and chords with the "Key of C" sheet. This won't be until my piano students are able to read the chord notes in the first measure (number 1) - or until they NEED to be able to play chord inversions and the octave scale, in which case I'll give them the Basic Chords & Scales sheet, with lettered notes. We...
Soon, their assignment sheetwill say, "Key of C sheet, #2, #3, #4." Eventually, they will drop the easiest numbers off their assignment and pick up the harder techniques, such as chord inversions and arpeggios:
My students are always eager to start regular full-octave scales, perhaps because I don't introduce them early, but spend lots of time on pentatonic scales, and perhaps because they know REAL MUSICIANS practice scales. You may wonder why I have written the 2-octave scales in mirror fashion, with the hands moving in contrary motion instead of parall...
The concept of the I, IV and V chordsseems obvious to piano teachers who've been thinking that way for years, but the connections aren't at all apparent to some young students. I try to keep reinforcing their grasp of the theory of "chord families" by coming at it from different angles, such as playing "Louie Louie", but using major chords only (th...
One favorite way to talk about "The Three Main Chords"is to play the regular scale slowly with a left-hand finger, while making matching chords in the right hand. Both hands move up the octaveas I say, "The one chord, the two chord, three chord, four chord..." etc. Then I ask them to do it. (And usually I say nothing about the chord on the seventh ...
And my favorite way to actually drum the 3 main chordsinto their fingers (and brains) is to use an energetic song. Louie Louie Wannabeis my favorite. Louie Louie does make an impact, and stays with them, as long as I occasionally prompt them. I have to show them the video of the original song, and that context makes it even more fun.
Students will move on to the other keys before they have finished the full page of C. Two-octave scales, chord inversions and arpeggios will wait until they seem appropriate.
You may not agree with every one of my arpeggio or scale fingerings. I put down the ones I want my students to be familiar with first, what I consider "standard." When they apply scales and arpeggios in actual music, there will be exceptions to the rule! Certainly there are timeswhen it is advisable to choose "5, 4, 2, 1" for left-hand arpeggio fin...
