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!

Proud of my daughter, Ada & all the hard work that she put into this performance!
Also, if you listen closely, you can hear her little sister, Macy, singing along.
I wrote this song for my sister’s birthday and have been waiting to give this to her. Her birthday is the 15th of February which is the day AFTER that other holiday in February. This song is to celebrate her! (but I do hope you enjoy it too!).

…and now part 2 of “The Chord” from our continuing 2 Minute Piano Lessons.
This week you will add the Am7 & G Power Chords giving you the 4 most common chords you find within pop music.
If you missed last week’s lesson, then you will want to go back to pick up the C & G Power Chords we learned last week.
Thanks for watching & if you have any questions or suggestions, please leave a comment below.
I can’t tell you how IMPOSSIBLE it has been to get this video posted for you, BUT… it’s finally up & I think you will really enjoy this lesson!
The goal of this video is to teach you the basics of playing a POWER CHORD (which I’m calling The Chord).
Power chords are normally reserved for electric guitar players, but we are borrowing this idea to immediately enhance your playing.
After you learn this concept your playing will sound fuller, you will have confidence when you play an uptempo song, and it will cause you to have less unnecessary movement on the keyboard. I promise that with practice, this will dramatically change how you play a fast song. I guess what I’m saying is you’re about to add “AWESOME-SAUCE” to your skill set. It’s going to be fantastic!!
And, if you have any questions….PLEASE ASK. You can leave them in the comments below & I will be sure to respond quickly!
Tuesdays are generally when people release new media, so today I want to release something new for you. I’m starting a brand new series of videos, just for you, called “2 Minute Piano Lessons” (or in this case 2:01…man, that’s killing the perfectionist in me…ahhh!).
Anyways, the lessons are right around 2 minutes long. So take notes, work on implementing this first lesson (of MANY more to come), & IF you like it please let me know in the comments below.
I love creativity. I love how it changes our perspective. How it causes our focus to shift. How it teaches us and changes us. Take a minute and see how this beautifully crafted video changes (or maybe just enhances) your view on something as simple as wearing your seatbelt.
