I like to teach it like: MAJOR triad: start skip 3 keys play skip 2 keys play which can be truncated to: start, skip 3, skip 2 So minor triad is: start, skip 2, skip 3 and diminished triad is: start, skip 2, skip 2 and AUGMENTED triad is: start, skip 3, skip 3 The transition to official interval names is: the skip 3s are major (bigger) thirds and the skip 2s (smaller) are minor thirds etc.

One piece I have always loved is Henry Mancini's Shadows of Paris. I have searched in vain for a full piano score but I did find a lead sheet. I have previously fought shy of using lead sheets because I didn't know how to play them but I had no choice on this occasion. Learning this piece, which is in Ab major, I found that the third bar starts with a Db but the chord is C7 which doesn't feature a Db. Looking through many pieces I see that it is fairly common for a chord to be used which doesn't feature the note being played. I would be grateful if anybody could explain why they do this. Thanks

The thing is that memorising the chords as you say in root position is good information but the real challenge and method for playing chords in a tune is to be able to quickly play them using inversions of the chords rather than jumping all over the place. This is my challenge to myself but at 74 I have give up numerous times as I find it overwhelming.

Hi Ashlee, this is a pretty informative video. I kill two birds with one stone by watching your video. English is not my mother language (I amSlovak). I practise my listening skills and improve my music theory. And here is the problem: I know that major chord is C,G,... Minor chord is Cmi, Dmi. But what looks like diminished chord or half diminished cord or augmented chord?

@naimebond82842 ай бұрын
That's certainly the 'tried and true' classical formula for building chords, but it ain't easy and learning one per week will take forever when you consider there are root, 1st and 2nd inversions to come and you have two hands to train? I like 'all chords with E in the middle' practice, but how about combining with the 'circle' CFBEADGC or reverse CGDAEBFC and doing 7 at a time?
@AshleeYoungMusicStudio2 ай бұрын
When you learn one person week, do it with the inversions. Sounds like it’ll take forever but I guarantee they learn about a deeper level and much faster than if you try to learn them all at one time (where you won’t retain)

Well done, Ashlee. Very informative. Now I know the notes in the chords in this passage from "The Swan": G dim, C#m9, Bm, F#7. Now the hard part: Figure out the best ORDER of the notes in the chords to play this particular sequence of those 4 chords AND what fingers to what notes. Seems that music sheet publishers should help us out with that . . .

remembering what chords are in a composition definitely helps me memorize attempting to play jazz you will find chords can be functional or non-functional, there is blues in jazz and blues is a series of non-functional dominant chords in a 1 4 5 pattern theory for me is a way to explain intervals and patterns, what chords are related that might come next, and what my options are as an improviser or when trying to write new music I am a permanent student of jazz improvisation, sometimes I take the chords you show me and try to make it swing, I think a good improviser is playing chords over chords which is a concept known as superimposing, that and are well familiar with the concept of voice leading or connecting one chord to another I'm curious about the idea of using counterpoint and a moving independent second voice when I improvise as I have always been attracted to bach and high speed polyphony I recommend playing bach every day and the jazz piano book by mark levine
@MaryCentin3 ай бұрын
Thanks! This is a really cool video! I think at this stage I know all the chords from the theory, rather how to read the chords quickly from the music sheet, and thus practice, which is super important for sight reading... if you have any suggestions on how to train sightreading chords, I am interested. Thank you for your hard work on this channel!! :D
