Sheet Music Digital Lesson #21 - Chords


	Now that you have an understanding of playing music with you right hand, it is time to learn to play with both hands together! In keyboard music your right hand plays the melody and your left hand plays the accompaniment to the melody. As a beginner - we will learn the accompaniment as a chord. A "chord" is when three or more notes are played together at exactly the same time.

Below are diagrams of how to play 3 chords.

The chord below is called a C major chord.
