Chords for Carl
ANNOUNCEMENT: Check out the live lessons on the new Musicarta Twitch tv channel www.twitch.tv/keyboardcomposing/. AND - sign up for the Musicarta newsletter at http://eepurl.com/cjt7fz for latest news and discount codes. VIDEO NOTES Chords for Carl sprang from encounters with a piano pupil who couldn't bear to look at 'proper' music. As an alternative, I drew up some blank keyboards and used those to teach him chord work. Chord tones became melody notes, and the study evolved into a showcase for playing a melody and accompaniment at the same time -- something every modern-styles keyboard player should be able to do. The left-hand-over adds a nice dimension to the harmony and is great for show, and the chords are so 'typical' you can recycle them a thousand times.
