Keyboard:Learn a progression using triads and inversions

In the online Keyboard course at Zelus Academy, understanding chord progressions and timing is a crucial aspect of developing your playing skills. A common progression to practice involves A Minor (root position: A, C, E), F Major 1st inversion (A, C, F), C Major 2nd inversion (G, C, E), and G Major (root position: G, B, D).

When playing this progression, you’ll be counting in 4 beats per bar. Start by playing two chords in each bar: the first chord will be on beats 1 and 2, and the second chord on beats 3 and 4. This allows you to get comfortable with timing and rhythm while smoothly transitioning between chords.

For added variation and practice, on the second round, switch to a minim for the C Major and G Major chords. This means that instead of playing two chords per bar, you’ll hold each chord for two beats, providing a different rhythm that helps develop control over timing and chord transitions.

Through Keyboard online learning at Zelus Academy, you'll gain practical skills like these, ensuring a well-rounded foundation in both chord progressions and rhythmic accuracy, crucial for playing a wide range of music styles. Continue reading
