To be truly effective you should learn your scales, be able to read a smattering of sheet music and practice in more keys than just C.

Laptop Computer Let's get you started.

Learn to Play Gospel Piano (DVD) This inspirational course in gospel piano has been specially designed for novice and intermediate players.

Desktop Computer Each piano has a total of 88 keys (electric keyboards can have less). These keys are both black and white and are set in a specific pattern up and down the piano. As you move to the left on the piano the sounds get lower and deeper. As you move to the right the sounds become higher.

Notebooks The first part of this specific pattern has two black keys. The key to the left of
the first black key in the two black key pattern is the C note. For some reason this is the easiest note to remember and find on the piano. The white piano keys are named for the first 7 letters of the alphabet. Starting with C, C-D-E-F-G-A-B-and back to C. Although the alphabet begins with A when thinking musically you will find that your starting point will be the letter C. As you move along your musical path in life this C note will become as familiar as the A.

Lenovo Now since we are only taking a brief look at chords so you can get an idea of the concept we will stay in the key of C. In the key of C the notes are C-D-E-F-G-A-B-and back to C (just the same as the white keys). Let's also number these keys 1 to 8 beginning with C.

Hard Drive A Major Chord is built from the 1st, the 3rd, and the 5th note of a scale of the same name. For example C Major chord is built from the 1=C, the 3=E, and the 5=G. So C-E-G is the C Major chord.

Travelstar Now let's number your fingers from thumb to pinky in both hands 1-5. Match up the C Major chord, C-E-G to the 1,3 and 5 of your fingers. C on 1, E on 3, and G on 5. If you have a keyboard or piano go to it and play these fingers on these notes in both hands. Sounds pretty huh?

Gateway Want to try a song? Keep playing this C chord in the left hand and try counting as you play it. Count 1,2,3,4 playing the C chord on count 1 only.

Laptop Parts Remember those notes from the key of C? C-D-E-F-G-A-B-and back to C. We're going to use them now. So in the right hand the thumb is number 1 and lands on C, 2 is D, 3 is E etc.

Software So let's play the E with the 3rd finger 2 times.

Hard Drives Now play the 4th finger on the F key once.

Electronics Now play the 5th finger on the G key once.

Canon In other words, E-E-F-G. And while playing this play the C chord with your left hand at the same time you play the first E.

Desktop Pc What you have now played is the first bar of Joyful Joyful. Congratulations!

Desktop Computers I encourage you to look further in to playing the piano with chords. There are many, I mean many books out there to help you on your way.
