Hi gang,
I just got a digital piano this x-mas and i m looking for a good way to learn to read the notes,chords etc. to start playing easy pieces.
Im sure you will get lots of help with this, I too want to improve my keyboard skills, and want to learn to read...
But... heres a trick that no-one told me.
Take both hands and without looking, play 3 notes with each hand, reach a good distance apart and make the middle finger play a black note, and thumb and pinky white notes...
Listen to the resulting chord, do NOT wince at its discordance, its NOT THAT BAD... adust a finger on either end, up or down a note, find the clashing notes, move them about a bit-.. pretend you know what you are doing, look confident, leave long gaps... to tap the cigarette ash into the ashtray precariously placed on the top few keys...
Play a new chord, at least 5 notes away from the original...
Welcome, you are now a pretty advanced keyboard player...
