At one time or another, most of us have secret wishes of sitting down at a beautiful instrument and creating music.<br /><br />Playing piano is a joy. But most students aren't getting all they can out of their lessons. Normally well meaning teachers may be stifling student creativity by placing note reading at the forefront of the curriculum.<br /><br /><strong>But what if there were a new approach to playing piano?</strong> What if you could just walk over to your piano or keyboard, sit down, and just start playing? Sound unbelievable? It isn't.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.quiescencemusic.com/"><strong>Free Piano Lesson for You: 'Summer Morning!'</strong></a><br /><br />You see, the piano is a chord-based instrument. When you learn to play chords on the piano right away ... instead of learning note-reading first, you learn how to really speak the language of music.<br /><br />But not just any chord. <strong>What I have my students learn first is something called the open position piano chord.</strong> This chord structure allows the beginning (and more advanced student) immediate inroads into piano playing satisfaction.<br /><br />This new approach allows you to play a modern sounding seventh chord with both hands right away! Compare that to the classical curriculum and there really is no comparison. Classical teachers begin with note reading and then take the quantum leap of having students learn triads.<br /><br />Not that there's anything wrong with triads. They've been around for centuries and still deserve a place in the lesson plan. But most adults don't won't to spend weeks or months learning triads. They want to be able to make music right away.<br /><br />Actually, by learning how to play the open position piano chord, you can start creating your OWN music. The lesson "Reflections in Water," (available below) shows you exactly how to do just that!<br /><br /><strong>Edward Weiss</strong> is a pianist/composer and webmaster of Quiescence Music's online piano lessons.
