How do I improve my piano accompaniment skill?

Q. Note: This is NOT asking for classic piano things, such as Beethoven and Mozart. What I am asking is how to improve my piano chord music skill.

Okay, I still get confused with left hand patterns at slow songs, and I want to add some decoration sounds, but I can't... can you help me improve these?

A. Have a recorded guitar and drums playing and then use your piano.

Original Question

what is a really easy piano song from a theatre musical?
Q. Okay, so my music teacher gave us the weekend to have a song from a musical (theatre production, no movies) and i started off with over the rainbow, but i actually find it really hard to remember!
Is there a REALLY easy piano song from a musical that i could play?
Preferably just the melody with some chords as accompaniment...
this is due TOMORROW!
please help! i need one as soon as possible!
for now i will try and practice over the rainbow ):
thank you!

A. Easy depends on skill. If you have a high standard, or low standard, it is all skill that counts. If you are looking for a "simple" thing to play, such as scales and chords with a catchy tune, look into Aladdin. One sort of simple song to play is Arabian Nights. It is slow, steady, and very catchy, too. Good luck!

Original Question

How do I find out what piano chord is played?
Q. I'm a saxophone player and am transposing a piece. But the score shows a D and a B played as a chord. Because saxophones can't play chords, how do I know what is being played? Does it just default to the middle or what?

A. "Defaulting to the middle" is hard to do - in some rare cases it works out sounding fine, but most of the time it just sounds weird, especially if you're playing in a group or with accompaniment. Because playing a different note entirely may not fit with the rest of the piece, or even be in the same key!
What key is the piece actually in? Just wondering because B to D is a minor third in the key of B major, and D to B is a major sixth in the key of D major... But it's also possible that the piece is in a different key entirely.
I'm not 100% certain, but I don't think there's a right or wrong way. Personally, for wind instruments, if a chord transposition is in an accompanying part I would play the root of the chord, but if the transposition is in a melody part then I'd just choose the note that seems to fit the melodic line best. obviously I don't have your music in front of me now, so I can't advise you on which note to take.
Hopefully that helps you a bit though!
