This piano course is designed for students of all levels who want to learn more about chords and chord progressions. Through a series of lessons and exercises, you will learn how to play and combine different chords, as well as how to use them in their own compositions.
The course begins with an introduction to the basics of chords, including intervals and triads. You will learn how to play and identify major, minor, seventh, diminished, 9th, 13th and augmented chords, and will practice building chords and progressions in various keys.
As the course progresses, you will learn more advanced chord voicings and inversions, and will explore a variety of chord progressions and their role in music theory. You will also learn how to use chords to improvise and create their own music.
Throughout the course, you will have the opportunity to practice your skills through exercises and assignments, and can receive feedback and support from your instructor. By the end of the course, you will have a strong foundation in chords and will be able to use them confidently in their own music-making.
Bonus Materials: This course includes a free 100+ page book that follows along with the video lessons, as well as drum loop audio files for you to play your own chord progressions over!

About Your Teacher:
</li>
</ul>Hello! My name is Jacob, and I am a musician and songwriter in Massachusetts. I attended Berklee College of Music and have been teaching privately as my primary job for 7+ years. In 2020 I shifted my teaching primarily online and found methods that connected with students even from a distance. I decided to bring those methods to recorded curriculum, and for the last two years I have been creating and sharing online lessons.
