Q. Its all int the title, I wanted to know if learning these piano chords will help in the improvisation of piano songs.
A. Yes.
And YES.
And then again, yes.
You cant live without scales and chords.
Knowledge is power. If you know them you can do anything with them, play any song, any style, anyTHING you want ANY WAY you want.
Think of it like writing a letter, chords are your WORDS, if you dont know the WORDS you cant read/write letters/books/information.
Clue: Find a piece of music with a D chord written over the top of a bar, now I want you to notice that EVERY NOTE in that bar (Under that heading) is either a note from the D chord or a note from the D scale.
So yes, learn your chords. OFF BY HEART!!!
All the best

Is it ok for me to master the piano using piano chords instead of the notes?
Q. im having a difficult time playing the piano by notes and i think its easier to use piano chords, what do you think?
A. I have known amazing piano players who can't read music. Or think about pianists such as Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles! What does that tell you? You don't need to be able to read notes to be a fantastic pianist.
But that being said. I think it's good to learn to read the notes too!
Here's a great resource for mastering piano chords:

What are good piano songs for beginners?
Q. I just learned how to read piano music (I play the sax and its much different) and I just learned the basic notes, and I don't know any chords.
A. Try songs like
Mary Had A Little Lamb (e,d,c,d,e,e,e,d,d,d,e,g,g x2)
Hot Cross Buns (e,d,c,e,d,c,e,e,e,e,d,d,d,d,e,d,c!)
If thats too easy try...
Merrily we roll along
Clocks (coldplay!)
Use www.purelessons.com ! It is a great website that gives you easy video tutorials of basically any song like sung by an artist! I really reccommend it!
Hope that this helps!
Good Luck :P
