This course will actually jumpstart your understanding of piano, if you are new to piano. This course could be valuable, as a beginner because:

• We examine the piano wholistically and are not just stuck at middle C from day one
• We play every chord at every octave, giving you freedom to explore the entire instrument
• We bypass the traditional piano theory technique that only stays stuck in the C major scale for the first couple years of piano.
• In days, we’ll be playing in keys that other method books take years to get to.
• You’ll be able to focus more on seeing and playing general patterns rather than playing only specific notes 

• Great question! Many classically trained musicians have come to me asking to take lessons because these concepts were not taught in their traditional piano method books.
• You will be able to skip the intro lesson that covers note names and finger numbers, but all other 20 video lessons are taught from a new teaching method and perspective.
• Instead of learning chords derived from scale degrees, we examine them as visual patterns, allowing a MUCH FASTER learning experience.
• If you have any questions about the Circle of 5ths, the bonus lesson itself is worth it! It’s so fascinating to understand the circle of 5ths from a chords perspective, and it allows us to see the applicable use of this often complex concept.

• Piano chords are when we play 3 notes at the same time, spaced apart in specific patterns.
• Chord charts are songs that have only the lyrics with chords above them.
• Chord charts differ from sheet music because they do not use the staff at all.

• Chords enhance an already existing knowledge of piano repertoire AND
• Chords allow for FREEDOM to play more expression based music or to play by ear, eventually
• Chords are so versatile! They can be applied to any song in a variety of settings.
• Understanding chords allows you to play in keys that would otherwise be much more complicated in sheet music.
• Chords let us SEE piano theory in action, jumpstarting a working knowledge of music theory and why certain chords, notes, and scales sound good together.

• Yes. Sheet music notates exact notes for specific beats.
• Chord charts place chords over certain lyrics, but it’s up to us with what octave we want to play that chord at and how many notes we want to duplicate in left hand.
• There is a lot more freedom with chord charts.

• The great thing about chords is that they, naturally, sound more advanced from day one.
• Chords use multiple notes and we can add and duplicate sounds in the left hand, creating a rich and full tone.
• Chords require more of a pattern knowledge than an ability to play a specific note after specific note. It’s easier to sound more advanced because chords stack multiple pitches together.
• Chords naturally sound more advanced, and what we’ll be able to learn in Level 2, after this course, will sound SPECTACULAR!

• You will be able to play every chord chart in the Chord Vault bonus gift.
• We cover the basic foundation that will set you up for success in Level 2 where we learn every chord variation pattern.
• After Level 2, you will be able to play every chord chart out there. 🙂

• We wanted this course to ensure quick and solid success with core concepts.
• After this course, the foundation will be very clear and easy to build from.
• It can be overwhelming to try to learn every chord variation if we don’t have a concrete understanding of the 12 basic chords.
• This course is the intro level I wish I had when learning chords for the first time.
• It’s so helpful to have simple exercises and chord charts to jumpstart learning and understanding.

• Most adult students learn at a considerably fast pace, as compared to younger children, HOWEVER…
• I have found that adults typically see 10 steps ahead, and their hand coordination hasn’t had time to catch up to what their mind already understands.
• This course includes a technique, specifically for adults, to “warm up” to the dexterity needed to play chords.
• Within a few practice sessions, you’ll be well on your way to being comfortable with chords.

This value number comes from three different places: the transformation you will experience, the concentrated value of the video lessons, and the custom designed PDF booklets to guide you quickly to success...

• Just two years of traditional lessons at $45 per half-hour would cost $4,680, yet many students still struggle with chords, even after years of study.
• The transformation delivered in this course far exceeds the time it would take to learn this on your own. I had taken 7 years of piano lessons before understanding chords, (7 years x 52 weeks x $45 / lesson = $16,380!) but it wasn't until someone walked me through chords, that I began to understand the simple patterns. I want to be that guide for you and make your path clear and easy!
• Video lessons are concentrated value. All the time that a teacher and student would spend performing or playing a piece is not accounted for in an online course, leaving only prime education content.
• The custom work booklets were carefully created to guide students step-by-step from beginner to intermediate chord charts - something no standard method books offer. The course work booklets bridge the gap from simple to complex chord charts.
• I have taught hundreds of students one-on-one piano lessons with a full-time studio for over a decade, and have seen exactly what a student needs in order to master chords.
• I wanted to make this option affordable, and possibly even a supplemental recourse to go along with traditional lessons a student may have already been, or are currently, taking.
• This is ultimately the recourse I wish I had when I was a newbie to chords! I'm hoping to help others on the same journey.

If you are following the Champion Track, it will take 8 days to complete the course (this includes all the practice assignments and bonus lessons)

• There are 20 video lessons total
• Each lesson is approximately 3-10 minutes in length
• The goal was to keep these lessons as concise and value packed as possible, cutting to the chase and only giving you top tier teaching lessons.
• Personally, I have taken many music and business online courses and found that the ones I enjoyed the most were concise enough to complete quickly and delivered a specific transformation that was actually achievable. ;)
• Recommended practice time each day: 20 minutes (You WILL need to practice if you want to master playing chords.) There is no shortcut here.
