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.
Piano chords to go with alto sax piece?
Q. I'm playing colours of the wind on alto sax in the C Major key... I need three piano chords that i can play to accompany this, but I need help.
A. Here are the chords for "Colors Of The Wind" by Vaness Williams:

As key for piano or guitar here is shown the key C major:
C, Am, C, Em, Am, F, Dm, G, Am.
If you play that correct chords for piano, the alto sax has to play the melody chords:
A, F#m, A, C#m, F#m, D, Bm, E, F#m.
If you play the melody on alto sax in the key of C major, the piano has to play the chords:
Eb, Cm, Eb, Gm, Cm, Ab, Fm, Bb, Cm.

Are piano chords affected by key signature?
Q. I am learning piano chords. the A chord is A C#, and E. When the key signature is, for example, 3 flats (A B E), does that mean that the A chord is changed to A flat, C#, and E flat. If so, when Adim, then is chord now Aflat, C and D?
A. No, they are not affected. To use your example, an A major chord is A - C# - E and that is the case irrespective of key signature.
