EKS Lesson Nine Developing minor triads
We made this point earlier in the course – but try playing the A minor to D minor, as shown [in Figure 5) above, and you will notice how much easier it is to play. The economy of movement has a very positive effect on the overall sound of the chord change, which is now much smoother. By using this inversion, the hand stays in the same place, as opposed to making quite a leap down the keyboard.
Discover for yourself. Play the following exercise, which gets you to play the chords in their root positions for the first two bars but then uses the inversion for the next change.
Feel free to use the multimedia files as always to help you understand the note positions and movement issues.
