Basic Elements of Chord Symbols

A chord symbol, such as CMaj7, usually contains three parts:

• A pitch-letter (such as C) to indicate the key
• The chord type of a major (Ma) or minor (m) key
• The number that indicates the top note of the chord (6, 7, 9, 11, or 13)

Normally, a chord contains the 1, 3, and 5 notes of the key plus one or more extensions
(higher notes in the chord). For example, CMa7 contains the 1, 3, 5, and 7 of C Major (C, E,
G, and B), while a CMa9 chord contains the 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 of C Major (C, E, G, B, and D).
A chord symbol can indicate any of the 12 keys, such as C#, D, Eb, E, etc.
Building Major Chords
A major chord has the 1, 3, and 5 degrees of a major scale. A major 7 chord has the 1, 3, 5,
and 7; a major 9 chord has the 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9; and a major 6 chord has the 1, 3, 5, and 6.

along with their chord tones, or arpeggios. C is the example key used here.

8 tips to Teach yourself Piano and a book to download- 8 dicas para Aprender Piano Sozinho com livro para Download

1. 1
   Find a piano to use. You may have one at home, or you may be able to find one somewhere else. You also need to make sure the piano is reasonably tuned. If your piano hasn't been played for ages, or has recently been moved, chances are, it's at least a bit out of tune. While the piano being a tiny bit off shouldn't matter much, if the piano is worse, you may want to have it tuned by a professional before going any further.
2. 2
   If you're unable to find a piano, a keyboard is a great alternative. They're affordable, never go out of tune, and have lots of sounds and features that can enhance your music. And higher end keyboard models sound just as good or better than many grand pianos. Not to mention they're a lot easier to move around and don't take up much space.
3. 3
   Acquire some prior musical knowledge. Teaching yourself to play the piano will be pretty much impossible if you haven't had some sort of professional teaching on some other instrument -- you need to know how to read and you need to understand musicbefore you can teach yourself to play anything. It does not matter if the other instrument you can play is, say, a Bb clarinet or an Eb alto saxophone, even though the piano is a C instrument. In fact, once you get better at the piano, you can do some really cool things if you play an instrument in another key.
