 Continuing the conversation about how to play chords on the piano, let’s move on to chords on the piano from the black keys. Let me remind you that the simplest chords in our field of attention are major and minor triads. Using even only triads, you can “decently” harmonize almost any melody, any song. The format we will use is a drawing, from which it is clear which keys need to be pressed in order to play a particular chord. That is, these are a kind of “piano tablatures” by analogy with guitar tablatures (you’ve probably seen grid-like signs that show which strings need to be clamped). If you are…

Could you tell me at what level the dominant seventh chord is built? Beginning solfegists sometimes ask me this question. How can you not give me a hint?

This article also represents a range of questions and answers to them. We will figure out at what stage D2 is built, and at which D65. At what stage is D7…

Let’s move on to our task. The crossword puzzle on Mozart consists of 25 questions. The level of difficulty is, of course, not easy, average. In order to solve them all, you may need to…

One of the great holidays is approaching – Christmas, which means it’s time to start preparing for it. The holiday is decorated with the beautiful custom of singing Christmas carols. So I decided to slowly introduce you to these carols. You will find notes of the carol “Good Evening Toby” and a whole collection of holiday videos. This is the same song in which the festive chorus is with the words “Rejoice…”. In the attached file you will find two versions of musical notation – both are single-voice and absolutely identical, but the first of them is written in such a key that it is convenient for a high voice…

Rhythms accompany us everywhere. It is difficult to imagine a region where a person does not encounter rhythm. Scientists have long proven that even in the womb, the rhythm of her heart calms and lulls the child. So, when does a person begin to feel the rhythm? It turns out, even before birth! If the development of the sense of rhythm were considered from the point of view of the development of the sense that a person has always been endowed with, then people would have much fewer complexes and theories of their “rhythmic” inadequacy. The feeling of rhythm is a feeling! How do we develop our senses, for example,…

Where do you get new guitar strings? Personally, I prefer to buy them in regular music stores, feeling them live, while exchanging jokes with the sellers there who have known me for a long time.

Of course, after this the question could not help but arise: how to choose strings for a guitar, how not to make a mistake with the choice when purchasing?
