Piano lesson: Learn piano chords by improvising

A very pleasant way to learn which chord to use in a song is to use the chords you know with your left hand and play simple melodies that you improvise as you play the chords.

For example, play the chord sequence C, F, G7 and C with your left hand as you try to play melodies on the white keys. You really can't go wrong as all white keys will sound more or less okey.

This enjoyable practice will help you develop your ability to feel which chords to use in songs, you will be training your finger dexterity and also develop your ability to compose your own melodies!
