Concert Chord
The concert chord method lets beginning
keyboard players easily select and play a
chord.
The number of accompaniment keys you
press determines the type of chord that
plays. This chart shows the chord type that
plays when you press one, two, three, or four
accompaniment keys at the same time.
The lowest note you play determines the key
of the chord. For example, if the lowest note
is C, the keyboard plays a C chord.
Note:
You can press
any
labeled note(s) to
the right of the lowest note in the chord to
produce a minor, a dominant seventh, or mi-
nor seventh chord.
