New Age piano is a beautiful style of music
that many use to relax and unwind. But did you know that it's also
easy to create on your own? You don't need a lot of theory or
background in music to start playing piano in the New Age style.
All you really need is to know a few chords and then jump in and
play. Most teachers start students off with the humble triad. And
while there's nothing wrong with this chord type, it's not very
modern sounding. Instead you can play something much more
interesting.
Look, the reason why so many people have problems learning
piano is they give up out of sheer boredom! They
sense that it will take months if not years to create something that
sounds like music on it. So they give up.
By starting out
with open position chords (explained in detail in your free workbook) you'll
immediately sound like a pro! Why? It all has to do with the way the
chord is structured. First, it's a modern sounding seventh chord.
All this means is the seventh note of the scale is used along with
regular triad notes to give it a more contemporary sound.
Second, it covers more than 2 octaves of the keyboard
giving you a very nice "open"
sound. If you love contemporary stylings, you'll be playing them in
no time with it.
And last but not least, you use both hands right away to create
with! In fact, the chord is so wide open that you can literally
create music without moving your hands around at all.
If you love the idea of just sitting down at your piano
and playing what you feel - easily and effortlessly
- you're going to love learning to play piano in the New Age
style
