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:
http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/v/vanessa_williams/colors_of_the_wind_crd.htm
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.

What piano chord do they play at the start of "One is the Loneliest Number" by Three Dog Night?
Q. The song starts out with the same note being played on the piano, what is it? I've been trying to figure it out.
A. The chords for the first 4 bars are (assuming one chord per quarter note in 4/4):
C
Ab
F
played 8 times in the intro, followed by
C
Ab
F
(same chord) 4 times and
Eb
C
Ab
4 times etc.
In other words, the intro has the F minor chord (F-Ab-C) played 8 times, then the vocals begin on this same F minor chord played 4 times followed by the Ab major chord (Ab-C-Eb) played 4 times.
I think it is was a wise move to come here for such technical a question ;)
Hope that helps!

How can I learn to memorize my piano chords for my music faster?
Q. At my school they have a program called Winter Drumline and it's like a drumline show whenever marching season is over, the pit and the battery are in it. I am in the pit for winter drumline this year and I am playing the synth (electric piano). I am new to playing piano and I am not used to treble clef, I play trombone and baritone so I am more familiar with the bass clef, although I can read treble, it takes me a minute. So the chords I have to play are kind of difficult, especially for someone learning to play. How can I learn these chords faster so I can learn the show faster? Please help and thanks in advance :)
A. Hey Good for you! I was in Winter drum line to0. I marched snare, and now I am a Jazz Piano major. A good way to memorize chords is to take one measure at a time very slowly. Ms=Measure
Example:
-Memorize Ms1.
-Memorize Ms2.
-Play Ms1&2 very slowly until you have that memorized.
-Memorize Ms3
-Play Ms1-3 very slowly unitl memorized
-Memorize Ms4.
-Play Mes1-4
Bump up the metronome 5 clicks and repeat for awhile.
Then do the same thing for measures 5-8
and then play measures 1-8 very slowly.
And continue learning the rest of the show like that.
That method is to learn specific chords that are written out like you said on a treble clef. But You should start to read chord charts too and chord symbols, so when you see a C-7 chord you know to C-Eb-G-Bb or when you see a G7 chord you know to play G-B-D-F.
If you don't know what 7 chords are, start to learn ALL your major and minor triad chords.
C=C-E-G
Db=Db-F-Ab
D=D-F#-A
etc.....
and then the next step would be to learn those major and minor triads in different 1st and second inversion, meaning the middle or last note is on the bottom.
First inversion chords:
C=E-G-C
Db=F-Ab-Db
D=F#-A-D
etc..
Second inversion chords:
C=G-C-E
Db=Ab-Db-F
D=A-D-F#
etc...
Piano is one of the most technical instruments to play because not only do you have to consider rhythm and harmony but also melody.
If your really interested in piano see if you can find a teacher that teaches both Jazz, and classical.
If your in the Detroit area I give lessons!
Good luck sorry for the rant!
