Why Chords?

Satisfaction

  • Superior sound to single-note or even one note with each hand
  • Rhythm: Chords played in regular pattern or broken up give a natural "beat"

    • Ease

  • Can be played by feel
  • Descriptive names help remember and differentiate chords

    • Focus

  • Looking ahead to the next chord keeps the eye on the page
  • Makes you push ahead rather than stopping
  • Gives the left hand a function, rather than wandering or fidgeting

    • Fun!

  • Students ASK to play with chords even when given the choice
  • Can CHOOSE the chords they want - develops musicality
  • Adding chords makes the song ever more sophisticated -- Triumph!
