How and when would I use piano chords?

Q. For the past month I've been memorizing a bunch of piano chords, and it donned on me...when would I ever use these? I've seen sheet music with the symbols above the notes but I don't get it...how do I use them? The more information, the better, and thank you (:

A. It amazes me when I hear someone say they are memorizing piano chords. You really don't have to memorize them, when playing you construct the chord on the fly. After gaining some playing experience your hands will automatically configure them self to play them.

As far as when to play a chord, and which chord to play, and in what sequence to play them in is again gained from experience. You need basic theory knowledge in order to analyze a piece of music, i.e., major scales, chord type to play on each scale degree, how to play around the circle of 5ths/4ths. You really don't need in depth knowledge of this but just the basics so that you understand what the music is doing and why.

Anyhow go here for the answer to your question...

Oh and by the way, use this website to get the bare-bones knowledge needed. You can learn how to construct a major chord and realize all the other chords are nothing more than an alteration of and/or add-ons to the major chord

Good Luck

Original Question

How to use my piano on my computer?
Q. Is there any way for me to plug my keyboard piano into my computer (even if it requires buying accessories or plugs etc.) ?
OR
Does anyone know of a computer program where I can type in what chords/piano notes I want and it puts them down for me? I can do it by hand so this is just a question.

A. All you need is a cable with suitable plugs.
If the piano is stereo the computer end needs to be a 3.5 mm stereo plug. Same type as headphones plug.
If the keyboard has stereo line out socket/s it could L&R RCA's or a 6.5mm stereo socket or even a 3.5mm stereo socket.
If it doesn't have dedicated line out it should have a headphone out.
A local electronics store should stock whichever combination you need.

RCA: The type used for VCR's
3.5 mm: The small size used for headphones on a computer.
6.5 mm: The larger size used for guitar cables.

If you don't have a recording program Audacity is a free audio recording and editing app.
I've used it for my el cheapo keyboard and once the input settings are adjusted the result is very good.
