Explore the Chord Play™ series, a unique and hands-on approach to learning piano arranging that invites you to create music from the very first page. With five books in the series, each filled with 64 pages of about 20 Explorations, Chord Play™ introduces you to the most commonly used chords in today’s music, while helping you build an intuitive understanding of harmony and style. The series offers a three-way approach to learning: playing sample arrangements, filling in missing chords from lead sheets, and transposing music by ear. This interactive process allows you to develop both your technical skills and creative instincts, making each chord feel like a new “friend” to work with. Whether you’re reading, arranging, or composing, Chord Play™ helps you transform your knowledge of chords into musical artistry. For the best results, pair this series with your favorite "fake books" and start creating your own arrangements of popular songs, hymns, and classical pieces.
Using Chord Play™ 1, learn to arrange familiar melodies with triads in styles such as classical, ragtime, and boogie. Add seconds and sevenths to triads, create surprising harmonies through chord substitutions, and incorporate finishing touches like introductions, fills, and endings to bring your arrangements to life.
