2 Minute Piano Lessons – The CHORD [part 3]

 

The 2 Minute Piano Lessons has returned & with it…the final lesson on The CHORD!

 

Next week we’ll move on to new concepts in our 2 Minute Piano Lessons. But, this week I have a few quick ideas to help you finish up using The CHORD.

 

PLUS in this video I’m giving you a secret riff (disguised as an exercise) that I use all the time on uptempo songs!

[5in5] bonus session

I was blown away by everyone writings, listening, and commenting on [5in5] last week. It was a full week, but honestly such a rewarding week on many levels.

Wonderful to be writing all together, amazing to hear all the songs be written and put out there, and fun to hear the responses as people listened to things we had all created.

Today I am giving you the [5in5] bonus session – which includes 3 extras just for YOU!

[5in5] – day 5

(check out the rest of the songs below!!)

time to fly
by daniel john

i was thinking of our children
all the advice that you & I would want to give
cause if something ever happened
want you to know you only get one chance to live

when you hit frustration’s wall
look up for the way above it all

it’s time to fly
time to soar
spread your wings
live the life
you were made for

you’ve heard that faith can move a mountain
so why get tangled up by simple fears
the distractions of these worries
will never add another second to your years

fly my love

[5in5] – day 4

(check out the rest of the songs below!!)

claimed
by charity long, felicity white, & daniel john

i have tasted and seen
stood before kings and queens
but nothing compares to your glory

try to walk away
but your love makes me stay
there’s no escaping your story

claimed
i remain
safe
i will stay

i was ruined for less
even with some regrets
but nothing compares to your glory

these roots have gone deep
entangled but free
there’s no escaping your story

claimed
i remain
safe
i will stay

[5in5] – day 3

(check out the rest of the songs below!!)

stand up
by daniel john

hopeful where this life could take you
the next moment tries to break you
takes your breath away

standing like a soldier so tall
suddenly you’re in the free fall
no hope left today

cause we all fall down sometimes
& the way back up is a climb
alone, we can’t win this fight
but together we stand up tonight

why get up to fall right back down
better to stay here on the ground
circumstance will always win

all your fight’s gone now diminished
every dream’s been left unfinished
asking where you’ve been

[5in5] – day 2

(check out the rest of the songs below!!)

with our lives (for my wife – w/ my kids as bgvs)
by danieljohn

i’ve got the melody
you’ve got the harmony
we can make this music
if we try

you sing the chorus, dear
i’ll play the notes i hear
we can make this music
if we try
we can make this music
with our lives

with our lives

the kids twirl, they sing & dance
you and i steal a glance
we can make this music
if we try

what we sing will make us strong
we all join in with the song
we can make this music
if we try
we can make this music
with our lives
