Chord of the Week
~ Introduction part I ~

Every week from now (for quite a while) I will present a new chord on this blog, but first I will give you some background for this blog based on my book ​«Understanding Chords on the Piano». This background will be presented in six blog posts ahead before the weekly introduction of chords will take place in my blog. I'll keep you posted, so pleas follow me for all the updates.

Understanding Chords on the Piano

​Why this title

Understanding Chords on the Piano

​I hope the title of this book will help you understand what to expect from this blog. I could have named the book ¨Piano Chords¨, but that would not be sufficiently descriptive of what to expect from this book, or blog. I hope the title ¨Understanding Chords on the Piano¨ gives you the picture. The intention is to help you understand how the chords are constructed, not only show you how to play them.

​Why this blog

For some time now as a composer, songwriter, music producer and  music teacher I've been wanting to write some books on music theory. So far I've written two books, one on basic music theory and one book on the subjects of chords for the piano. This blog will be based on the book about piano chords that I've written, and this book is also called Understanding Chords on the Piano. 

​Who is this blog for

This blog is especially intended for songwriters, music producers and aspiring composers, and for anybody interested in learning more about chords and music theory. I've encountered many creative talents in music, songwriting, production and composition. Often I see that additional knowledge of music theory is needed as a tool to further students creative writing and understanding of music. Harmonies and chords are are also important for the quality of outcome in  creative music writing, so hopefully this blog will give you some insight on the subject.

Piano Chord Charts

​In this blog you will find chord charts that will provide you with the information you need to learn more about chords. My blog will tell you how the chords are constructed and about chord formulas, chord symbols, names of chord notes and the root of the chords.

Learning from this blog

​Remember to take one step at a time when learning piano chords or the theory behind them. Spending about 10 to 15 minutes a day on this chord blog or my book will give you good results over time. Understanding how to construct chords will also help you to learn and play chords quicker. That's how it is with most subjects, the more you understand the easier it gets.

What to expect from my
​book or blog

Primarily you will find many explanatory piano chord charts that will visually help you to understand chords in general. By playing the chords you will also learn how the chords sounds. You will find:

• Chord Symbols
• Chord formulas
• Names of chord notes
• Roots (colour coded)
• Enharmonic spelling for understanding correct chord construction
• Practical spelling of chords

Take a good look at the explanatory piano chord chart under, it will
​be a good introduction to the learning of chords
on the piano or keyboard. ​
