Hearing and Experiencing the Sound of
the Chords (Chord Study)
You can hear and experience the sound of the chords used in a typical performance by
playing back Song numbers 123 to 134 (in the "Chord Study" category). Song numbers
123 to 129 are very simple songs consisting of a single chord (C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am, Bm;
respectively) played in various positions, letting you listen to and master the chords
one by one. On the other hand, Song numbers 130 to 134 consist of several chords
strung together in a pattern, for experiencing and understanding basic chord progres-
sions. Hear and experience the sound of simple chords and progressions by playing
back these Songs, and play the keyboard while following along with the keyboard indi-
cations shown in the display.
