How To Construct Basic Chords on the Piano

The easiest manner to start learning how to construct chords is to drill their buildings in the cardinal of Degree Centigrade Major. You're just playing all achromatic keys.

All you have got to make is play every other achromatic key to make a 3-note chord. A 3-note chord is called a triad. A 4-note chord is called a 7th chord. And a 5-note chord is called a 9th chord.

Now you have got the option of playing your chords in one manus or you may utilize both hands! It depends upon the sound you desire to produce.

How to Improvise Melodies

There's something resistless about a existent melody. If you can convert the hearer that they're hearing a tune when you improvise, they will remain riveted to every note.

Well, you can - and it's not really that difficult. The 1 component that is common to almost all good tunes is: repetition.

Repetition. Repeat and more than repetition. I'm referring specifically to the repeat of thoughts (motifs, as they are often called). Sometimes the thought is repeated exactly as it occurred the first time, as in the Vacation melody "Jingle Bells."

More often, the motif happens higher or less than it did originally. The short letters are different but the beat and the form of the line stay intact, as in "Happy Birthday." This type of repeat can be defined as "pitch-shifting."

What I'm describing here is a procedure often called motific development: the whirling out of thoughts through the usage of repetition, pitch-shifting, and extension.

So that's it... if you desire your improvisations or solos to sound like a melody, you necessitate to utilize a batch of repetition.

Ironically many instrumentalists avoid using repeat for fearfulness of sounding repetitious, i.e., boring. You tire a hearer if you seek to elicit the same emotional reaction from him/her 2 or three times in a row, but that's not what you're doing when you reiterate an idea.

When you first present an idea, it's new. The hearer waits with unfastened expectancy to hear how the thought spins around itself out. But when you reiterate the idea, their reaction is very different. Now they can derive a certain sense of control, by connecting what they're hearing to what went before.

Just listen to some of your favourite songs, and you will definitely hear repetition!
