Do you find yourself using certain chords in just one position—no matter when you use that chord? I have found that to be a very common occurrence when working with students who already play.   I hear all the time “oh—I only can play that chord like this!”   Quite honestly that can hinder the smoothness of how you play and how you move from chord to chord—BUT IT CAN BE FIXED!   It’s up to you to do it!!!

Click here to go to the HELPS page and download and print out the MAJOR and MINOR  PDF chord files.  Take just 10-15 minutes EVERY DAY to play through several triads—ROOT position, First Inversion and Second Inversion—UP and DOWN the keyboard.

Here’s an easy order in which to learn them….

C  – G – F

Gm – Fm – Cm

D – Bb  – E

Dm – Am – Em

Bb – Eb – Ab

Bbm – Ebm – Abm

B – C#(Db) – F#(Gb)

Bm – C#m – F#m

Remember you don’t have to practice every triad in one day—this is a PROCESS. Don’t think of this as regression—it’s just “shoring up your music foundation!”

When you can play EVERY triad UP and DOWN the keyboard with speed with your eyes closed—you are thoroughly familiar with that triad! Try it—I PROMISE this works!!!!
