1. Automatic chords and manual chords

Automatic chords are unique to the electric piano and are one of the three basic elements of the instrument. The area of single-finger chords is generally the leftmost 14 black and white keys. Multi-finger chords are generally the leftmost 19 keys (for 61-key instruments). You can try it out yourself if it doesn't agree.

2. Single finger chords and multi-finger chords

First there are multi-finger chords, then there are single finger chords. Multi-finger chords are automatic chords extracted from long-term practice, single-finger chords are a further simplification of multi-finger chords, and single-finger chords have fewer varieties, so they can be used at the beginning. They are easy to learn.

The same kind of chord is very versatile. The C chord, for example, is made up of do, mi and sol. Playing all three at the same time is a C chord, playing them one by one in six different orders, or playing any two of them first and then one of them, is also a C chord. If any one or more of these notes are an octave higher or lower or repeated in two octaves, this is also a C chord.

Note

The most basic training is the basic practice of fingering. By fingering practice, I mean: the training of playing each pitch on the keyboard through standardized fingering, rationally organized in scales, chords, piping, and other practice entries.

This is the foundation of all other kinds of exercises. The more solid and comprehensive such training is, the better foundation will be laid for learning other musical works in the future, and the more capable you will be of skillfully mastering all kinds of different styles of music, and the more confident you will be when playing on the stage or improvising.

The scale is the material of the tune, the generalization of the key. Practicing different types of scales on the basis of each key can not only improve the dexterity of the fingers and play a good graded musical fragment, but also improve the feeling of the key and style of music, and accumulate musical vocabulary.
