Music books for piano chords?
Q. Hi,
I'm currently teaching myself piano and I am learning chords through online lessons. However, I'd like to be able to recognize chords on sheet music as well as just know where to put my fingers on the piano. Does anyone know where I might find a book that teaches all the possible chords for piano (yes, all of them) and lists all of them on staff lines? Sort of like a chord collection book, if you will. Any help would be much appreciated!

How can i get free online help with piano? ?
Q. I need help with piano, i so want to play songs on it! But the notes are so hard to learn!! Any online free help?
A. Pianos can be very expensive, so if you can't afford to buy one, keyboards are an excellent alternative for beginners to save money. If you can afford a piano, there are several criteria you should consider before buying yourself a piano. Before buying a piano, make certain you are willing to practice thirty or more minutes each day. If you're not--then save the expense of buying the piano and books or lessons.
Arrange for music lessons or buy a lesson book. Look for a teacher or book who is in the National Teachers Association, has other trusting accreditations, or is otherwise known to be dependable. Ask other piano students about their books or who their teachers are--and whether they are "good." Ask "why" other students think their teacher or book is a good teacher or book because sometimes a student likes his or her teacher for the wrong reasons. For example, if your friend likes his/her resource because "he/she/the book doesn't make me work very hard," steer away from that source.
Make certain your teacher or lesson book is including time spent learning chords, theory, and improvisation, not just learning pieces by note. Understand that in learning the piano, you are also learning the language and history of music. It takes time and effort to learn this "foreign language" and musical understanding means more than just playing a few pieces well. True mastery of music is a lifelong process. It takes many years to become a good musician.
Practice every day for at least thirty minutes or more. Your fingers will "rust" if you do not play for even a week. At first, practicing might be a pain and you might get very frustrated. As your skills grow, you will become facile and playing piano will become pure enjoyment. It's best to warm up at the beginning of every practice session with scales, warm-up exercises,and relatively easy pieces. These will stretch your fingers and hands and help you play with your hands relaxed. (When you play, you should be able to see your finger bones move. Let your hand just hang and move only your fingers.)
Remember that it's worth the effort and will make you a much better piano player when your teacher asks you to learn a hard piece. While there are many ways to practice, here's a good one for beginners. First try to sightread the piece without worrying if you make mistakes. Then practice each hand independently. Break the music into segments and learn the right hand part. Learn segment by segment, then connect them together. Keep practicing until you've mastered the right hand play through the entire piece. If you make a mistake start over from the beginning. This might try your patience a bit but it will enable you to get through the entire piece flawlessly. Once you've mastered the right hand, repeat the process with the left hand. Then, repeat the process again, this time for both hands.
Take a new piece apart, by learning one or two measures at a time, and going over it again and again. The next day do the same thing with a few other measures, and then include the last measures and play them all, together. By practicing this way, you can spend quality time listening to how they sound, and making sure your fingers know where to go and when. Never learn an entire piece all at once.
Try not to repeat your mistakes. Playing the piano is an automatic process like walking (you don't think about each step you take, you just walk). Because of this, past mistakes have a tendency to come back when you play the piece later on. To avoid this, do the following: When you are learning a new piece, break it down into simple parts that you can practice without making a lot of mistakes. And play slowly. For example, practice each hand separately. After you have determined the fingering you are going to follow, play both hands together in short sections. Eventually put the sections together. Do not try to play at normal speed until you are secure in your fingering and notes. Then increase the speed gradually. Play the piece over and over until you memorize it and you can play fluently.
Improvise and think notes. "Thinking notes" means that you know every single note that you're playing. While that sounds easy, it can be very hard. Play a piece that you have memorized and can play very well. Now, name every note that you played without looking at piano. Then, take a melody you've heard on TV or somewhere else and try to play it using your ear. Learn to know all the notes that you're playing. While playing by ear is good, it's a lot better if you know every note that you play.
