Basic Piano Chords &
Piano Scales, free download
Basic piano chords, in my music studio, are the I, IV, and V chords in root position and inversions.
Basic piano chords and scale download
If you look carefully, you'll see that this page of chords and major C scales is just the same as the beginnings of the "Key of C" sheet on my 12 Major Scales page.
So why did I feel the need to make this "dumbed-down" version of the Key of C sheet? I did it for little guys and gals who are capable of playing more complicated music than they can read, and WANT TO. The letters-inside-the-noteheads are a lot like pictures - and a picture can be worth a thousand words!
Some kids are ready to play these chords before they read well. I have a few beginners who need to play chord inversions in a few of their duets and solos, and the basic piano chords on this free download are a good way to introduce them.
Do you have any students who seem to be allergic to the printed page? They wish to hear and memorize INSTANTLY every new piece or technique, but they frequently learn it WRONG because of their haste? These notes-as-diagrams will help them!
Good luck!

Congratulations for such a wonderful idea of designing these staff. One of my students, 10 years old, needs a lot of magnification in his lenses and we discovered he was mistaking his reading due to his weakness. Now, it is easier for him to read the lessons I write for him in this marvelous music paper. Blessings.
Kay:

This is an absolutely wonderful site! As a voice and piano teacher looking for enrichment material for beginners, I have found your collections to be comprehensive and purposeful. It is clear that you are a wonderful musician and educator. Thank you!
Victoria:
This website is one of the best things that's ever happened to me. I'm actually a high school student who teaches piano to elementary/middle school students! Only being in high school and not having an actual job makes it difficult to find good, reliable music to give to my students without having to pay for it. But this site is a miracle! Almost everything that I give my students to play comes from this site. The sheet music is clean and clear and I, as well as my kids, love it! Thank you so much for everything that you do. It really means and helps a lot.
Shanette, US:
I just purchased O Holy Night to use as a duet for Christmas Eve Mass. Thank you so much for this simple, easy to read version as my vocalists are not professional and this music won't be quite so intimidating as other arrangements I have. Your expertise is much appreciated!! Merry Christmas!
