8 The Two Methods On the following pages you will find the lyrics and chords to the ifty #1 Hits medley. In addition you will also find piano charts that will show you how to play each of the chords. As you have seen on the Practice Lesson 1 and Practice Lesson 2 videos of Episode I, there are two ways to play the fifty songs medley. The first is by playing chords with both hands, which is what we recommend you do first, if you are just starting out. The second way, as described on Practice Lesson 2, is to play the chords with your right hand, while playing a bass line with your left hand. The piano chord charts described in this book apply for both methods. It will explain how to play the chords with both hands if you are using the first approach, and how to play the chords with the right hand only if you are using the second, fancier approach. an t wait to start your interactive lessons with our Digital-Home Study ourse? lick Here. 7 Page OPYRIHT THE PIANO ENYLOPEDIA - PIANOENYLOPEDIA.OM

9 How to Use this Song Book Ready to play? The ifty #1 Hit Songs Medley contained in this book is in lead sheet form. You might be wondering how to use them and how you can make the most out of this book. This section is dedicated to explaining everything you need to know to unleash your inner musician! irst of all, you may be asking yourself "what is a lead sheet?" Simple, a lead sheet is a form of music notation that shows just the chords and the lyrics of any song. And believe us, this is more than enough as the chords are actually the skeleton of every song. Lead sheets are super easy to play and have been used by musicians for many years - in fact, it is often the preferred way for trained musicians to write and play songs quickly. There are multiple ways to play from a lead sheet. However, first of all, you must remember that you won't be playing the melody - you'll be singing it (or having your family or friends sing with you!). So what can you find on a lead sheet? The lyrics are combined with symbols that are positioned on the words of the lyrics. These symbols -such as,, or - actually represent chords. Musicians use these symbols for short and it is a very powerful notation as you can write complete songs with just a few chord symbols. What are chords? Here is a quick recap: chords are simply a combination of three or more notes that are meant to be played together. If you play more than two notes together, it s a chord. But, of course, some combinations of notes sound better than others. The lead sheet will tell you exactly what chords to play with the chord symbols you will see. What happens if I don t know the chord symbols? Not a problem! At the end of the songs you will find images of a piano keyboard which will show you exactly what notes to play for each chord symbol. This will make it extremely easy for you to be able to play the songs! an t wait to start your interactive lessons with our Digital-Home Study ourse? lick Here. 8 Page OPYRIHT THE PIANO ENYLOPEDIA - PIANOENYLOPEDIA.OM

10 The piano keyboard images will look like the one below, where you will be able to see the name or symbol used to represent the chord at the top, and the piano keys to be pressed in green: Don't worry about the chord names - yet! Just focus on playing the right notes whenever you see a chord symbol. The most wonderful thing about this medley is that we ll be using just 4 chords to play through all fifty songs, which means that you will only see four different chord symbols:,,, and. "So, what are the different methods?" The first method is to play the same chord with both hands, at the same time, as you saw in the Practice Lesson 1 video. You will get a full, rich sound. Your left hand should be placed close to the leftmost part of your keyboard, so you get a deeper sound. The trick, however, is that your right hand should be at least an octave (12 keys) away from your left hand, so you get an even fuller sound (this detail is very important). This is the method we most recommend, especially if you are just starting out. Watch the Practice Lesson 1 Video Again. The second method is to play the chord on the right hand along with the bass notes on the left hand. How do you know what bass note to play with your left hand? A simple way to do this is to play with your left hand the root note of the chord you are playing on your right hand, simultaneously (e.g.: play a note -with your left hand- if your chord is ; play an A note, if your chord is, or play a D note, if your chord is Dm ). an t wait to start your interactive lessons with our Digital-Home Study ourse? lick Here. 9 Page OPYRIHT THE PIANO ENYLOPEDIA - PIANOENYLOPEDIA.OM

11 In the Practice Lesson 2 video we show you how to do this, and we also show you how to play a bass line in a fancier way to make your playing sound more sophisticated. If you feel that you have mastered the first method, we recommend you give it a try. Watch the Practice Lesson 2 Video Again. an I do anything different to make it sound nicer? - you might ask. Of course! There are dozens of ways of accompanying a singer or play songs. In fact, there is so much more we can teach you; and even further, if you are surprised about what you can accomplish with just one hidden musical pattern, just imagine all you will be able to do once you completely discover the logic behind music.
