Piano Question of the Month
Learning Chord Notations: The Roman Numeral VI'm teaching myself music theory (best I can). Piano is my instrument. I'm (hopefully temporarily) stuck learning all the of the various chord notations (triads, 7th, inversions, etc. etc.)Please answer this question. It will help me with "context." Please tell me all that one can know about the simple symbol V? Thanks so much, Jean
Piano Sheet MusicSheet Music: Jeux InterditsFrom Virtual sheet music this month, you'll get a well known, beautiful composition with broken chords in the right hand. A real workout.Start by practice each group of 3 notes (in the right hand) at the same time as a "blocked" chord. This makes it easier to learn and remember. Next, when you play one note at a time "broken"- you need to bring out the melody in the top notes (keep the top notes a little longer.) You can listen to the piece before you download, but keep in mind that you can (should) play the piece much slower than the example.
