Inverted Chords on keyboard and piano and its Application

Chords can be inverted for easy movement of one chord to the other on the piano. Two inversions can be done for a chord. The following are the possible inversion for the six (6) primary chords on the piano(keyboard) giving in the earlier post.

CHORDS INVERSION

d:m:s m:s:d; s:d:m

r:f:l f:l:r; l:r:f

m:s:t s:t:m; t:m:s

f:l:d l:d:f; d:f:l

s:t:r t:r:s; r:s:t

l:d:m d:m:l; m:l:d

Instead of moving your hand a far distance during progression of songs on the keyboard or piano, you can use the nearest inverted chords to move your hands a short distance on the keyboard(piano). For example the movement from 1st chord→4th chord 5th→1st chord which is played as d:m:s→f:l:d→s:t:r→d:m:s can either be played using inverted chords on the piano as

d:m:s→ d:f:l→ t:r:s→ d:m:s or

m:s:d → f:l:d → s:t:r → s:d:m or

s:d:m → l:d:f → s:t:r or t:r:s → s:d:m etc.

ASSINGMENT4: To be done for a week
Learn the movement in number 2 of Assignment2 using the possible inverted chords.

CHORDS APPLICATION IN MOVEMENT

A table was given last post showing possible applications of chords to different notes at the breaking of a song. The following hints will make you to understand it better.
• Most of the time when a song break at note “l”, you strike the 4th chord “f l d”.
• If the song breaks at “t”, you use the 5th chord “s t r”.
• Most of the time you start and end major songs with the 1st chord “d m s”.
• If a song breaks at note “d” within the song, you have several options of chords to use. At your level you can either use 1st chord “d m s”, 6th chord “l d m” and 4th chord “f l d”.
• If a song breaks at note “r”, we will use two chords at your level depending on the style you are using. We use 5th chord “s t r” and 2nd chord “r f l”. At later post, other complex chords will be introduced.
• If a song breaks at note “m”, you either use 3rd chord “m s t”, 1st chord “d m s” or 6th chord “l d m”.
• If a song breaks at note ‘f”, you can either use 2nd chord “r f l” or 4th chord “f l d”.
• If a song breaks at note “s”, you can either use 1st chord “d m s” or 3rd chord “m s t” or sometimes 5th chord “s t r”
Assignment: Continue the assignment given in the last post. Write down familiar songs in your area, play the tonic solfa on your keyboard and learn the progression to the different songs using the hints given above.
Next post is going to be more explanatory as I will be given you some examples of how to play to some songs. See you.

Learn how to move to different songs: Progression in Music

Movement is how to move or play to a song. You apply primary chords to move to songs. Movement is also known as progression. The assignment giving in the previous post is different types of some possible progression we have.
To move to songs, you must know the tonic solfa of the songs. For example, the tonic solfa of the worship song ‘Father we declare that we love you ’ is F f f m R ; d r M r D; r m F f f l d T, l t D.
The breaking of the song will determine the chord you will strike i.e. the breaking of the song above (written in capital letter) is f, r, m, d, f, t, d. You play the 4th chord for the 1st breaking ‘f’, 5th chord for the 2nd breaking ‘r’, 3rd chord for the 3rd breaking ‘m’, 6th chord for the 4th breaking ‘d’, 2nd chord for the 5th breaking ‘f’, 5th chord for the 6th breaking ‘t’ and 1st chord for the 7th breaking ‘d’. The table below explains the chords to use when a song break. Note that more than one chord can be used to a note.
CHORDS APPLICATION
d:m:s d or m or s
r:f:l r or f (mostly) or l
m:s:t m or s or t (rarely)
f:l:d f or l or d
s:t:r t or r or s (sometimes)
l:d:m d or m or l (sometimes)

ASSINGMENT3: to be done for at Two weeks
Learn how to move to 50 songs both worship and praise.

NOTE: We have different types of styles in playing music. Different people and tribe play keyboard differently using the same chords either in melodic or harmonic.

Movement on piano or keyboard

Hello friends, how was the training? I believe you are catching up? This week training will be majorly based on movement. I will be giving you simple assignment which you are to learn for 4 weeks. An example is giving below.

Learn the following movement
a. 1st chord→4th chord→5th chord→1st chord for a week
Here you have to start with d: m: s, then go to f: l: d, then to s: t: r, and finally to your root chord d: m: s. Take it easy as you learn this movement. Make sure you reduce the tempo to the one convenient for you. Play this movement using different style (according to your tribe and country's style) either in harmonic or melodic.
Now practice the following movement using the format above. Drop comments if you have any question.
b. 1st chord→4th chord→1st chord→5th chord→1st chord for a week
c. 1st chord→5th chord→4th chord→5th chord→1st chord for a week
d. 1st chord→4th chord→2nd chord→5th chord→1st chord for a week
e. 1st chord→4th chord→5th chord→3rd chord→6th chord→2nd chord→5th chord for a week.
