Hearing and Experiencing the Sounds of the Chords (Chord Study)

You can hear and experience the actual sounds of the chords required for performance by playing back Song numbers 111–122
(in the SONG category "CHORD STUDY"). Song numbers 111–117 are Songs consisting of a single chord (C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am, and
Bm, respectively), letting you listen to and master the chords one by one. On the other hand, Song numbers 118–122 consist of
several chords strung together in a pattern, for experiencing and understanding basic chord progressions. Hear and experience
the sounds 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 on the display.
