Do it with a chord~!

Recently I tried to play the piano again. It didn't work too well. So I've been re-teaching myself the basics. Every time I mess up one of the basic drills I get frustrated, so I play a C-chord to calm myself down. C-chords are great. Yes, you can put C-chords onto anything and make them sound fuller and grander. It's swell. Of course, at the rate that I mess up, I play more C-chords than actual notes. I'll get it eventually, though. Practice makes perfect.

  1. I love playing chords. They do sound infinitely cooler than single notes. You should try some other chords too. What about G-chords or D-chords?

  2. If you want to take lessons I can recommend an excellent teacher. Her name is Betty Lindaure.

  3. do chord inversions. Then run them and put a little melody in the top hand and voila--music.
