EKS Lesson Six  Chord and scale syllabus

Developing left hand triads

As we have done in previous lessons, we need to be able to play chords in both hands, and both clefs. Accordingly, we are now going to play our three new triads (F major, E major and B major) with our left hand in the bass clef.

As always, focus on forming the chords, remembering the notes in each triad, where the notes appear on the stave and play them in time and with the correct fingers. Use the supportive media files to help you get them right.
