The 1-4-5 progression is the foundation chord in every song. Most songs use this progression as a basic for their composition. It's very important to learn this progression in all 12 keys.

I can't emphasize enough the importance of practicing with your left hand. Since your left hand is your weaker hand, it requires more work to get use to the flow of playing with ease.

Your right hand will usually play most of the chords so it's very important that you spend just as much time practicing each progression until you're able to play it flawlessly.

Melodic notes creates the direction of where your song or music goes. It's a very good idea to experiment with different sounds.

Playing skillfully with both hands take time and practice. The more you practice, the better you'll become.

Inversion add color to your song. Think of inversion as having a flower garden with different types of flowers that all blossom. If you want to add more feeling beauty to your playing, you need to use inversions.

Once you learn new chords, progression, etc, it's always a good idea to combine them to see how they sound. You'll be pleasantly surprise to hear how beautiful it sounds when things are mixed up a bit.

The chords you're learning have been used and will continue to be used forever. There's not a single chord on the piano that hasn't been played. What most song writers and composers do is find different ways to express themselves by creating their own chords variations. Feel free to use what you're learning to create your own chord.

You have the ability to make any song sound good by using your creativity. You don't have to use a lot of chords to do so.

Again, your left hand plays a very important role in adding more flavor to your sound. Make sure that you practice, practice, and then practice some more until you're able to play it without making any mistakes.

These progressions are a great way to spice up your playing. So make sure that you understand the concept before moving on to the next lesson.

In music, the smallest things can change your song for the better. Please pay a very close attention to this lesson. Once the lesson is over, take a few minutes to review and practice to see how well you're doing.

This is a very cool and jazzy groove that anyone can really get into. If you have a drum kit on your piano or if you're able to play with a live drummer, this is a really good groove to jam to. Plus, you can be as creative as you want. There are no restrictions.

Another easy grove for you to enjoy playing. Make sure that you practice it until you're able to play it perfectly...no mistakes allowed.

One of the great things about the piano is that you're able to create incredible sounds with just a few notes. This lesson is the perfect example of how to do just that.

Congratulations! You've come a long way. Remember, PRACTICE really does make perfect! I look forward to hearing your success story.
