DESCRIPTION:
Why this Playlist? Beginners are often impatient to jump on the piano, open a method book or take lessons from a teacher. Focus is then purely on the fingers and theory of the piano. What never happens, unfortunately, is study of the natural Self; it's all about the fingers on the keys but it must be understood that this is the end of the channel, not the beginning.

In this video, taking your now mastery of the major and minor triads, I will offer you a very common 'chord progression': 1, 4, 5. Chords may be written in Roman Numerals because the '1' can be any of the 12 keys, as can all 7 degrees of the major scale. Therefore, you are learning the template for the chord progress: I, IV, V.
