Where do we start the G chord? You guessed it, on the G key. Play them all together and you have an F chord. From F, skip a note to A, then skip another to C. You remember where the F key is right? Good, hit the F key now and follow the same pattern we did to create the C chord. Music wouldn't be very interesting with just one chord, so I'm going to show you two other chords that can also be played with just the white keys. ![]() Now that you know the notes of the C chord, play them all at once. Those three notes form a chord known as a triad, which simply means that there are three notes in it. From there skip a note and play the E, and then skip another note and play the G. A chord is a collection of three or more notes, all played simultaneously. Scales are used to create melodies and to construct chords. Now that you know a scale, you have an important building block to music. The scale doesn't need to begin on middle C, it can start and end on any C on the keyboard. This collection of notes is the C Major Scale. That last C is an octave higher than Middle C. As we continue moving to the right we play E, F, G, A, B and then finally return to C. The note directly to the right of Middle C is a D. So, let's just play the white keys in order, starting at Middle C. The C Major Scale is an easy one because it consists entirely of white keys. ![]() From middle C, I am going to show you how to play a complete C Major Scale. ![]() Don't worry if you don't know what a chord progression is right now, I will explain it a little bit later.įor now, sit down at your piano and find Middle C. In this lesson, I'm going to take you from playing that simple note to playing a short chord progression. The starting point for learning to play the piano is a single note, Middle C. Whenever you are beginning something new, it is helpful to have a starting point. When you first sit down at a piano keyboard, it can be a bit daunting.
