Q. I really like this song, and I want to learn how to play it on the piano. Is there anyone that can direct me to a video that can teach me, or is there anyone that can give some tips on how to learn it?
A. To get the sheet music, go to the regispek Yahoo group (link below). You'll have to join the group first, then click on "Files" and then "05. Far". Folding Chair is there in pdf format. Playing it is very simple, because she uses the same structure with most of the chords. You'll notice that they syncopation begins in the fifth measure and continues pretty much throughout the song. It's a C chord, but she only plays the first and fifth (third inversion). There is only a single note in the bass clef, a C, but in reality she plays the same thing on the left hand, i.e., first and fifth, third inversion. The same syncopation pattern continues throughout. I think there are only three chords, C, F, and G, so you can probably learn it in no time.
Im about to sit my grade 1 AMEB piano exam and dont know how to play broken chords in C, Help please?
Q.
A. Here's an explanation that looks right:
http://www.abrsm.org/resources/pianoSyllabus0901.pdf (pdf file)
A broken chord is a chord one note at a time. The C major chord, for example, is CEG. To play a broken C major chord, you wouldn't play CEG all together. You'd play the notes separately, one right after the other (fast).
You should practice all seven chords C (C major, D minor, E major, F major, G major, A minor, and B diminished) in root position and in both inversions, and then end on the root of the chord an octave up from where you started. (It's simpler than it might sound.) For the C major chord, you'd play
C-E-G E-G-C G-C-E C
For the D minor chord you'd play
D-F-A F-A-D A-D-F D
And so on through the scale. Luckily they're all white keys, so you won't have to remember any sharps or flats, and they'll all have the same fingering.
Help with reading piano music sheets?
Q. I'm new to piano and I've been practicing. So I'm starting to get better at it. I really want to play this music but I'm having a hard time understanding. http://ichigos.com/res/getfile.php?id=1007&type=pdf
I know that the first staff doesn't count but the last two does. There's 4 flats beside the Treble Clef and the Bass Clef. Does this change the notes? What would the keys be for the song? so if it was an "a" it would become an "a flat" instead? this is too confusing >.<
Please help me =/
So the first measures would be f,c,f,g, a flat?
so what would be the rest of the notes?
it's f,c,f,g, Ab
f,c, f, g Ab
then is the next measure a rest and the chord C,F, Ab?
A. The 'b' symbol means flat okay. This song is in the key of 'Ab' or A flat. The first notes on the treble clef for piano are: F, C, F, G, Ab.
In the key of 'A' there are four flats. They are Bb, Eb, Ab, Db.
It's not too hard of a song it's just confusing with all the flats and it's really hard to read notes on ledger lines like that first low F note.
The first chord is an inverted F major chord, then the next chord is a regular C major chord. To make a major chord or a triad you need 1, 3, 5. To make a seventh chord you would just add a 7 after the 5. Since the F major chord in this song is stacked with the C note first it's just a simple inversion of an F major chord. you can swithc from the Fmaj to the Cmaj really easily in this particular song.
C=1
E=3
G=5
Can I get best answer please?! Thanks
