What is a G# MINOR piano chord?

Q. I am taking music classes an on my key chart they have a G#M. I can not find this chord, I need the root and the 1st & 2nd inversion.

If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.

A. Root position: G# B D#

1st inversion: B D# G#

2nd inversion: D# G# B

A good theory site is:

If you are studying music an excellent book to have is "The Bradley Book of Chords, Scales & Modes" by Stephen Skinner. It talks about how scales and chords are formed and then lists most every scale and chord in every key that you would probably ever want to know about.

Hope this will help you.

Original Question

Give me a basis or chords to write a minor piano song?
Q. Okay, so, its Christmas soon and I wanna write my bf a short song on piano. I really don't know how to start or how to write a good melody line or anything!! >.<
Can someone pleaseee give me some tips or a few minor-ish chords that will go together?
Thanks a bunch ^-^

A. A minor is probably easiest on piano.

A minor, D minor, E minor OR E7.

A minor is made up of A,C,E notes.
D minor is D,F,A.
E minor is E,G,B... though you could use the E7 to resolve more strongly back to A minor.
E7 is made of E, G#, B, D... working very strongly with the G# as the lowest note.

You might want to end the song with an A major chord, too: A, C#, E.
The "Picardy third" effect is a nice touch.

Original Question

Memorizing piano chords?
Q. My piano teacher is making me memorize all major and minor chords on the piano by sound. So next week, wednesday to be exact, he will test me to see if I know all 24 chords by sound. Any ideas as to how I can do this?

A. Try this... Start with a minor chord. Play the block form of the chord (all three pitches at the same time) and speak the quality of chord out loud. Then play the same minor chord in the broken form. Do this slowly and sing each pitch you play from root to third to fifth. You can use "la" or sing the names of the pitches (C - E flat - G), etc. Repeat this process with each major chord. Either way, speaking and singing while you play will help your brain reinforce what your ear is hearing and your fingers are feeling. It might seem a bit strange at first, but the more senses you involve (sight, hearing, touch, singing, etc) the better your chances of memorizing these chords. Hope this helps!
