CMajor Before The Show

Today’s episode is designed to help you with your music making and wellness. The Chord Progressions we will talk about have been described as being “smooth” and “pleasing” to the ear. We hope you all will try some of these chords and see what works for you. See you all soon and thank you for listening.

Join us this weekend for chord progressions. Have you ever wondered what it will take to put together a pop tune or an r&b song? If so, tune in for our LIVE presentation this Saturday and then again on Sunday afternoon for The CMajor Radio Show. It’s all about music making and wellness and you... piano lessons for adults. See you all soon. Thank you for listening.

Just Friends (Sunny) by Musiq, Rock Steady, Tell Me Something Good, Boogie Oogie Oogie, Tell Me Something Good, and A Long Walk all Have chord progressions that represent major, minor, diminished, augmented, sixth, seventh, ninth, eleventh, & thirteenth Chords. Tune in next episode for more information. See you all soon.

You may be wondering about a definition for Chromatic—what are chromatic chords again? They are chords including at least one note which does not belong to the ‘diatonic’ scale of the key. But, we are also talking about playing chords chromatically based on a scale that moves in half-steps. Tune in now as CMajor discusses fun ways to play around with sharps and flats as an expressive effect for your music making. See you tonight!

It’s our chromatic scale and chords episode. Tune in for a fun lesson on ‘chromatic’, using all the notes (black and white). Did you know that Thelonious Monk once said something like...the piano doesn’t have any ‘wrong notes’? So far in CMajor’s Classroom we’ve been playing chords based mainly on major and minor scales. Let’s see what you sound like playing chords that do not belong to the key. See you Saturday!

It’s going to be a very chromatic Saturday this weekend! Hope you can join the piano lesson next time because CMajor will talk about chords played in close steps, step-by-halfstep...no skipping around this time around. It’ll be fun! You’ll see. So, bring your coffee, tea, something to eat.—You can even bring your “green juice”. See you all soon. Thanks for tuning in.

The Must Know Chords for Parents episode is a continuation of the Piano for Parents series. Many parents are not musicians, but they express the same desires to keep track of their child’s progress. CMajor talks about some common terms including scale, chord and key in this episode. Thank you for listening. See you soon!

Tune in tomorrow for a special episode on playing chords to a major scale. It’s been a big week! We’ll have lots to talk about—Chords, Intervals and Scales...all of that and more on the next CBTS. See you all then. Thank you for listening.

It’s your lucky day today!—We’re naming today, Make the Best Music You Can Make Day. It’s an unofficial celebration of music making and wellness and piano lessons. Parents are encouraged to talk with your family about your music making dreams. This Saturday night I will share with you some inspirational stories about the students that have gone on to make their best music. They’re having fun! In the meantime try to figure out how to play chords in the form of a scale and bring your results to the next episode. Thanks for tuning in. Thanks for listening! See you all soon. #makethebestmusicyoucanmake
