Q.
A. Here's an explanation that looks right:

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
Having some dilemna with readying this sheet music on piano? Need someones help?
Q. So I'm trying to learn this sheet music: http://www.holybunch.com/music/165.pdf
The problem is, it only has the melody of the treble clef.. I need the notes for the left hand.. so the little signs above each bar that says "Em" and "C" and "Am", is that telling me to play e minor chord on my left hand (for example)? Or what?
Or will I just have to figure out the left hand for myself?
Thanks
A. Yes, play the chords with your left hand and maybe improvise your inversions and rhythms.
