CMajor Before The Show

Have you ever seen a caterpillar crawl? How can you recreate this same movement on piano keys? Tune in to find out. We’ll crawl from one chord position to the next...root position, first inversion, second inversion, etc. See you all tomorrow! Thank you for tuning in.

Keys and key signatures, scales and chords can be intimidating for some pianists. There are no sharps or flats in C major. There is no key signature for C major; you may print scales with or without key signatures. What about chords? Once you see how key signatures of six flats or five sharps are laid out in the case of G-Flat and B, respectively, it may appear cluttered and difficult to read. Also, is an F sharp major chord the same as a G Flat major chord? Tune in for a fun lesson. See you soon!

CMAJOR has some more chords to share with you. Don’t miss out!—We’ll do some musical typing together for Gb and B chords. So, get your laptops ready. See you all later today. Have a beautiful day! It’s lovely weather here. Thank you for listening!
