Learn Piano Chords.
Why? and How?

If you want to learn piano chords this lesson will give you some motivation by discussing why it is a great idea and just what is the best way to go about learning all the possible chords on the piano.

Why Learn Piano Chords?

When I first took piano lessons as a child I was taught in the old school traditional method of keeping my eyes on a page of music covered with black dots and strange musical symbols. I was taught to read music and play the piano the way one would learn to type.

The songs that were available to a beginner using this method were very simple and also very boring.

This method  was a failure for me as I lost interest and found it easier to look at the keyboard rather than the written music. 

Because I had a good ear for music I learned to play piano by ear and memorized what I heard.

Later as a young adult I decided I wanted to play popular music in a band and it was then I learned how important it was to understand piano chords.

Learn chords to play with others in a  band.

If you want to play keyboards in a band you will absolutely want to know as much about piano chords as you can.

Knowing how to identify and play chords is part of the language that musicians use to communicate musical ideas to each other in in the context of a group.

Whether its a praise band at church or an industrial heavy metal band you will need to know the language of chords to communicate with fellow musicians.

Chords are essential for songwriters!

For songwriters at the piano it is essential to know piano chords and how they fit together to form the common chord progressions used in all popular music from Jazz to Country.

The more you know about chords as a songwriter the more variety and versatility you will be able to add to your creations. If you are looking for a great book on chords that is geared to the song writer it got a lot of valuable information and inspiration from Chord Progressions for Songwriters.

Dear Fellow Musician,

What if you could lock yourself in a room and get 4.5 hours of
ministry-focused instruction from the man behind many of your
favorite gospel albums?

Would that excite you?

Well, you're definitely in luck! Because I've found a resource
that'll uncover tons of contemporary gospel secrets from one of
the baddest gospel musicians in the industry today, Mr. Jason
White!

You'll get the opportunity to learn flavorful approaches,
chords, movements, patterns, "licks & tricks," and real songs
from Jason White, but not only that...

You'll learn the music ministry side of things too. This isn't
just for someone who wants to steal a bunch of chords and sound
good, although you'll get dozens upon dozens of chords and will
certainly sound 10 times better after devouring this course.
This is deeper than that though.
