Have you ever wanted to just sit down at the
piano and play what you feel? Without worrying if it's good
enough or if you have enough "talent?" You can when you learn how to
play piano in the New Age style using the open position piano
chord!
This chord structure allows the complete
beginner to create modern sounds at the piano FASTER THAN ANY OTHER
METHOD! After teaching piano for 15 years, I can safely say that
I've never seen students progress as fast as they do when working
with this chord position. Let's examine how one can
improvise right away using the
open position chord.
First, you must learn how to use
it. The easiest way to do this is to simply learn the chords
in the Key of C Major. We take the entire 6-note chord and
move it up step by step. First we play C Major 7, then D minor 7, E
minor 7, F Major 7, G 7, A minor 7, B half-diminished 7, and then
back to C Major 7.
Once we've got this very large chord structure
down in our hands, we can then use it to create music with.
Improvisation simply means spontaneous expression -
learning how to create in the moment. Improvising does not have to
be hard! Once you get the chords down, you're left with the melody
creation aspect and this is easy too because all you use are the
notes from the C Major scale.
We use our chords much the same way a painter
uses a palette of colors. We create using chords and the element of
time. In the example lesson "Reflections in Water," the chords you
play are in a given order. All you have to do now is play them in
that order and improvise your own melody.
By the way ... a complete
(and printable) step-by-step breakdown of this video lesson is
available to course members. I go into much more detail and
show you exactly how it's done - and more
importantly, how you can do it yourself!
