Q. I have to play songs for the Student Ministry at my church on my flute. My worship leader gave me the Piano chords and i want to learn how to play some Breaking Benjamin stuff too. I have the chords but i have no idea what notes to play. I've messed around with the notes that are in the chords but they don't make sense. Especially the minors and majors..any help??
A. Figure out the key (scale) of the song then play around in that scale. Since you have the piano chords you could simply play the root note of the chord followed by other notes of the scale, or you could walk up or down to the root of the chord using the notes of the scale. You can use non-scale notes also but only in passing.
Really there is no such things as a wrong note. It's just a innate ability you develop to know when to play it and when to release it, e.g. placement and duration of a note. The ability to play your scales really fast, and skip around in them knowing where you are at all times will make it easy for you. Though you must control yourself and not overplay.
Your ear will develop and you'll eventually figure out how to play any melodic line you want or desire to play.
Help! How do I learn chords on a piano/keyboard and use them in a song (with a partner)?
Q. At school we were told to make a song up using piano chords (i know what they are) but me and my partner are stuck with no ideas what-so-ever we really need ideas or instructions , also i need to get a good mark.
A. if you know your basic chords then the next step would be to utilize your own chord progression. like a 1-4-5-5seven-1. thats the most basic of chord prgressions also it depends on your style. like if you write classical or jazz or contemporary. me i do jazz so if you would like a cool jazz progression you can use this
[D,F,A,C] -Dminor7
[Bflat,D,F,A]-Bflat minor7
[G,Bflat,D,F]-Gminor7
[A,Dflat,E,G]Aminor7
[D,F,A,C] -Dminor7
[Bflat,D,F,A]-Bflat minor7
[G,Bflat,D,F]-Gminor7
[C,E,G,Bflat] Cmajor7
[C,E,F,A] 2nd inversion Fmajor chord.
i dont know how long it needs to be but that seems pretty nice right there. Good luck and i hope you get an A
People who work well with writing harmony and know about chords?
Q. I'm a songwriter and I'm trying to write a tune for a piece I've been developing. Do you know any chords and chord progressions that fit well for a hip hop/R&B song? I haven't set a specific key. Just something very smooth and oldschool-sounding. Like a Mariah Carey or Beyonce song. By chords I don't necessarily mean guitar or piano chords, but chords that are sung for a three-part or four-part song. Thanks :)
A. Chords are chords... there's nothing different about the chords you would play on a piano and those you would arrange for a vocal group to sing.
If you're looking for ideas, see if you can figure out the arrangements for some songs that have the style you're going for. If you can get your hands on a transcription, or even a lead sheet, that's even better.
