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. We play the chords by breaking them up one note at a
time.
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!
