Original Question

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

what are the piano notes that make up the Eadd2 chord and also the Badd2 chord?
Q. please don't comment if you don't know about piano chords?

A. E major: E, G-sharp, B / minor E, G, B.
B major: B, D-sharp, F-sharp / minor B, D, F-sharp

add2 has nothing to do with classical theory or parlance. Sounds like you add the second scale degree within the key (major or minor) for the E chord, an F-sharp / the B chord, C-sharp.

You should be aware you are learning a limited theoretical terminology for one instrument or genre which is not universal to all musicians.

[ It is you, of course, who doesn't know about piano chords; that's why you're asking.... Just sayin'. ]
