Why Just Chords Piano
The ‘Just Chords Piano’ method was developed to address a specific need identified by my private students. Many had friends who were only interested in playing songs and showed little interest in learning music theory. This method was created to cater to such students, providing a solution that allows them to play the piano with just chords.
This is against my belief that learning to play by music is a superior method. However having discused the issue with many students I realised that teaching students to play with just chords, could be a reasonable method of playing the piano with only minimal theory needed. Also there was a genuine need by many students.
How does the course work
The course teaches many chords, their origin, and how they are practically used in songs, giving the confidence to play your favorite tunes.
The course provides a detailed guide on how to play each chord, with practice chords tailored to each student’s pace. This ensures that students can master chord changing and enjoy playing songs smoothly.
A unique piece of music was composed for students to learn and play confidently. Practicing this music enables many chords to be played and changed quickly and easily.
By the time all of the lessons have been taken, a student will be able to obtain the chords for a song (Where to get the chords from is included. You will need to know that.) and be able to play the chords of the music.
Another course, Quick & Easy Piano Chords, covers more chords that could not be included in this course.
The course was created to be completed in three to four months, providing a steady progression and sufficient practice to master the skills.
Several thousand students have used this piano course to learn to play songs using just chords. Most songs are played in chords while the singer sings the lyrics.
I enjoyed creating the course, and many students have told me how much they have enjoyed learning piano with this course.
