EKS Lesson Three  Developing scales and triads

D major triad down an octave

Now if we take the D major triad down an octave, we should now play the triad with our left hand. This will enable us to develop our ability to play triads more fluently with both hands, and also help us understand and be able to play the D major triad increasingly more fluently.
