Book Reviews of Mel Bay's You Can Teach Yourself Piano Chords (Book & DVD)
Book Review: Powerful and Fun
Summary: 5 Stars
Of the 5 five books I purchased while learning to play piano by ear. This one was by far the most practical and fun. You'll be immediately hammering out big rich chord progressions. Further into the book you'll be learning how to make them sound even better by adding new keys. If you know nothing about piano you can still use it, but I'd recommend something to accompany it so you understand how the instrument works.
If you'd rather shoot yourself than practice "Oh Susanna" or "Camp Town Races" again. I highly recommend this book. It's just to much fun to pass up!
Summary of Mel Bay's You Can Teach Yourself Piano Chords (Book & DVD)
You Can Teach Yourself Piano Chords combines regular music notation with visual illustrations to give a clear picture of how to voice basic piano chords. The first part of the book introduces the student to basic triads and dominant seventh chords in all the inversions. After mastering this concept, material such as Maj7th, min7th, diminished, augmented and suspended chords are introduced, followed by alternate bass note, addition of the 9th and common chord progressions. Regardless of skill level, the student will quickly be able to play an accompaniment by using only chord symbols. The appendix section will give the student a clear understanding in basic music theory. When using this book as a lesson book it?s very helpful to refer to the appendix section while chords are being learned. The book can be used both for lessons and reference.
