When you learn to identify the various piano
chords by ear... wow!
For example: a major chord conveys pretty
much of a "happy" or "bright" sound (everyone has their own way
of describing sound). It's no wonder that the song Jingle
Bells uses strictly major chords to convey a happy scenario.
Minor chords are more "dramatic" in sound (some would say "sad"
or "sentimental"). It becomes easy to understand why minor chords are
used in the Theme from the Godfather.
A step further than this: identifying chord
progressions ... true mastery!
There's no doubt about it. Learn to play
piano by ear, and you'll have more fun than you could even begin to
imagine. To go about this most effectively, give The
Secrets To Playing By Ear your serious consideration.
It's a very comprehensive publication that keeps simplicity first and
foremost in mind. You're sure to have a ball with
it.
