👋 Thanks for watching! To learn the exact steps I recommend taking to learn piano faster, be sure to watch my free training! www.try.piano.ly/free-training
I took traditional piano lessons for five years, and I guess what I learned might be called sight reading. IDK. I learned to read music and plunk it out on the keys. My teacher would always write the key signature on the music, and discuss the sharps or flats. I still have ALL my music and pulled them out a few weeks ago to “start over.” The first ones are dated in February 1971. Yes, you read that correctly. I was eight years old, and at this point I probably play like I did after a year in. I’ve never understood all the chords and key signatures, until earlier this week as I was reading all the fine print on the pages around the simple sheet music. It dawned on me that there MUST be an easier way now to do this rather than how I learned so long ago. I’ve said for all these decades that I never had that fluid feel for the piano where the music flows out of me and onto the keys, and now I think it might be because of the way I originally learned. With a renewed interest into one of my childhood interests and still with the same piano my parents surprised me with that ordinary 3rd grade school day, I’m going to give your way a try and see how I do. Thank you for posting this info. You’ve got a really cute, creative presentation style.
learning cadences in all 3 inversions may also be helpful for you. For example, in C major the complete cadence is: I - IV - I - V - I -- or C - F - C - G - C Starting in root position the chords are : G A G G G E F E D E C C C B C C F C G C root 2nd root 1st root pos inv pos inv pos Starting in 1st inversion the chords are : C C C B C G A G G G E F E D E C F C G C 1st root 1st 2nd 1st inv pos inv inv inv Starting in 2nd inversion the chords are: E F E D E C C C B C G A G G G
C F C G C 2nd 1st 2nd root 1st inv inv inv pos inv Be sure to use the correct fingers in each hand for each inversion:
I'm starting level 4! So excited! This video has been so helpful. Thank you for all that you do. YOu help so many people learn piano with your easy understanding.
I'm a beginner on piano but i can do all triad chords with inversion and 7th chords, I also play almost all major and minor scales with both hands, but not very fast. I'm still a beginner
I am about a level 3 to 4. I noticed you played Tom Petty free fallin with 2nd inversion F chord and 1st inversion B flat. How do we practice all of the inversions so that we know them cold.
Im a total beginner, took some basic lessons back in high school and now my child is learning piano. They're learning basic songs and some music theory. When do they learn chords? Why is it important?

Thank you Kaitlyn for this roadmap, it is now clear I have to learn all the chords.
I'm glad you found it helpful! Enjoy!
Beautifully put!
Thank you! ❤
Level 5. I also invert. Currently teaching myself to do different inversions per hand at the same time.
learning cadences in all 3 inversions may also be helpful for you.
For example, in C major the complete cadence is:
I - IV - I - V - I -- or
C - F - C - G - C
Starting in root position the chords are :
G A G G G
E F E D E
C C C B C
C F C G C
root 2nd root 1st root
pos inv pos inv pos
Starting in 1st inversion the chords are :
C C C B C
G A G G G
E F E D E
C F C G C
1st root 1st 2nd 1st
inv pos inv inv inv
Starting in 2nd inversion the chords are:
E F E D E
C C C B C
G A G G G
C F C G C
2nd 1st 2nd root 1st
inv inv inv pos inv
Be sure to use the correct fingers in each hand for each inversion:
That is great that you're on inversions! Enjoy!
@@pianoly they're so much fun! A great way to learn!
Out of all those videos available here, this is really the best info video, and easily taught, thanks really
Much appreciated
Thanks for watching!
I'm starting level 4! So excited! This video has been so helpful. Thank you for all that you do. YOu help so many people learn piano with your easy understanding.
That is amazing!! Thanks for watching!
Great video, Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this! This is SO HELPFUL for a beginner like me!!
Yay I'm glad it was helpful!!
Thank you ma'am 😊
Thanks for watching!
I'm a beginner on piano but i can do all triad chords with inversion and 7th chords, I also play almost all major and minor scales with both hands, but not very fast. I'm still a beginner
excellent work! you're way ahead of a lot of beginners!
Good video. I would add being able to do chord inversions as another way to spice up chords.
True, true!
Thanks for the video! I’m probably level 4, though I’m not a master of any level!
That's great that you're at level 4. Thanks for watching!
Great video!! Best teacher!!! But why not include rhythm, arpeggios and octaves from level 1 or 2??
Just my personal preference of teaching.. I try not to overwhelm my students with too many conflicting topics at once! Thanks for watching!
Does anyone know how much this piano learning course costs please? Thanks.
I’m at level 4!!
hope you'll cover improvisation too
I am about a level 3 to 4. I noticed you played Tom Petty free fallin with 2nd inversion F chord and 1st inversion B flat. How do we practice all of the inversions so that we know them cold.
Nice! I have a video about inversions here: ua-cam.com/video/Orw9Vi7qj98/v-deo.html
@@pianoly I appreciate all that you do.
Very nice intro to chords. Btw, sus4 is often named just sus, and I think it would be good to mention aug chords as well.
True! I didn't mention aug chords because it's not used that much. I included the main chords in popular music here!
Im a total beginner, took some basic lessons back in high school and now my child is learning piano. They're learning basic songs and some music theory. When do they learn chords? Why is it important?
0.7 😢 only started a month ago age 74 😊
It's not too late. This is a great way to learn faster. Best of luck!
How do I know when is a proper time to improvise with the sus chords?
the week after easter, unless you’re orthodox
Спасибо за Ваше терпение в обучении "чайников"! У нас про таких говорят: "Им медведь на ухо наступил! " 😊
hello from kazakhstan
recommend people learn scales before learning chords, so you know what first, third, and fifth are
Level 1
yaaayyyy
Great content with clear explanations, though the jump cuts are incredibly distracting (very jarring)
Lol'd at the video thumbnail. 😂
The best teaching video on chord. ❤
Thank you. Straight talk for wanna be's. Much obliged.
My mind is scrambled all around. I'm not sure which level I am at.
❤🎉
