Beginner's Series
The "Secrets to Playing Piano By Ear"
course covers everything from the basics and fundamentals to Cmin13
(b9b5) chords. The preceding 6-day course was taken from Jermaine
Griggs's 300-pg piano course. This lesson (Day 6) summarizes all of
the previous lessons.
"Conclusion"
Dear Friend,
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to show
you some of the beginning techniques and fundamentals to playing the piano.
Believe me... there is so much more to learn --- it's unbelievable.
The key to learning the notes on the piano is to
simply practice frequently. I've shown you the notes --- now its your job to
familiarize yourself with the piano. That is, do exercises, practice, and play
major scales to work out your fingers (make them faster). These pages were taken
straight out of my course, "The Secrets to Playing Piano
By ear." Most of these lessons were taken from the first 3 beginning
chapters. For an overview of all 20 chapters (300 pages),
click here.
With whole step and half steps, simply remember
that half steps are from "key to key" while whole steps "always skip a key." You
will need to know this concept when playing major and minor scales, chords, and
progressions.
Also remember that each black key has two names
--- for example, C# can also be called Db. Once you grasp on to
this concept, you'll be set!
I know I gave you a numerous amount of
information on Day 4 - "The basics of Sight Reading." I literally gave
you the same information I teach in the course (without the written exercises).
If you want over 300 pages of useful, easy-to-understand information with
exercises and all, you have to check out

With Day 5 - "The basics of Rhythm and
note values", I know it was hard to learn rhythm without the sound examples.
However, it is helpful to use your hand to clap the rhythm. For example, quarter
notes fall on all 4 beats of a measure. This means simply clapping your hand 4
times (while saying "1-2-3-4"). With half notes, you say " 1 - 2 - 3 - 4" but
only clap on "1" and "3." With whole notes, simply say "1-2-3-4" while clapping
only on the first beat since a whole step takes up four beats in a measure. If
you would like the sound examples to Day 5 along with 330 more,
