Practice
This lesson has taught you a number of things:
- how to play a number of different notes as chords/triads;
- where they are found on the keyboard;
- where they are found on a musical stave;
- how to play our first two chords of A and G.
Furthermore, you now know that:
- a common bar of music is made up of four (4) beats;
- we have different notes that last different amounts of beats;
- different notes of differing values enables us to create rhythm.
Your job now is to practise the exercises in the lesson, developing your skill in playing the keyboard. Use the KeyboardXtractor to play along with, remembering that you can slow the difficult exercises down if required and speed up the ones that you are becoming more comfortable with.
You can also record your performance into the KeyboardXtractor and compare it against the exercise to see how you are getting on.
