Description

If you've struggled learning the piano or have always wanted to just be able to "sit down and play" this is the lessons for you. Regardless of past experience, everyone can learn to play the piano!


Learn how to break up simple triads to create a more complicated arrangement in the first course of the Play Piano For Hours series.


In this lesson you'll learn how to create your diatonic triads. These chords are the basis of music and once you know them, a whole world of chord progressions become available to you.


You'll also learn how to create different left hand patterns so your playing sounds full with BOTH hands.


We will cover the classic I-IV-V progression and you'll learn how to create inversions of your chords to make it easier to play in all keys.


Finally, you'll learn several left hand accompaniment patterns (both melodic and harmonic patterns) that you can use to create your own music, accompany yourself while you sing or play your favorite tunes.


The material and lesson moves at a good pace for all levels of student - even beginners.


Sheet music is available for you to download as part of this lesson and instructions on how to download are inside.
