The Beginner Level

         When you are beginning a new task or learning something new it is always best to have a starting point. In this lesson you are given a starting point on the piano. That starting point is Middle C. From there we go up the keyboard using the white keys and make a C Major Scale. From the notes in that scale we are able to build chords. The chords we build are called triads or 3-note chords. The first chord we build is the C chord which is made up of the notes C, E, and G. The next chord is the F chord which is made up of the notes F, A, and C. The last chord we build is made up of the notes G, B, and D.After we build the chords we add the root of each chord in the left hand and then play them in succession. Playing the chords like this is called a chord progression. 

                              

       We can consider a begginner if you know all the techniques, if they have learned a few basic piece that don't require a lot of techniques like songs where both hands play the melody or songs with basic chords that goes along with the melody. If they feel a little adventurer, you can always pick up a piece like solfeggietto and work on it for many days, they can have yourself a quite impressive piece to play with not a lot of difficulties in it. 

             The piano will take many years of practice but to get started and work up to an intermediate level can be a lot easier and quicker. Here we are going to explain some basic lessons to get you started followed by a complete chord sheet with the some basic major and minor chords.

• Major and minor chords are both triads. A triad consists of three notes, each of them a third above the previous.

• Thats a rather technical definition, so let's take it apart before moving on to major and minor chords.

• The root of the C major triad is, of course, C. Here it's in the bass so the chord is in root position.

• The notes of a triad can be stacked in thirds, starting with the root. The note a third above the root is called the third of the chord, since the interval between the root and this note is a third.

• The note a third above the third is called the fifth of the chord, since the interval between the root and this note is a fifth.                                         
• Each of these thirds can be either major or minor. Because a third is an interval. The terms major and minor refer in this case to those intervals, not to the quality of the chord itself.
