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 091 to 102 (in the "Chord Study" category). Song numbers
091 to 097 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 098 to 102 consist of several
chords strung together in a pattern, for experiencing and understanding basic chord
progressions. Hear and experience the sound of simple chords and progressions by
playing back these Songs, and play the keyboard while following along with the music
notation and key/chord indications shown in the display.
