Thanks for sharing this Donny~. When I had to stop giggling, my 910 helped pay the bills with piano lessons, which I still do. I also have an upright piano, but for those students who are interested, and whom I feel have enough basic knowledge of chords and theory, I love introducing them to chording on my arranger keyboard! Somewhat of a lost art . . . I can tell you that none of my piano instructors ever taught me how to really CHORD! I do believe it is becoming a lost art, so I do teach it,, when applicable, to students who seem capable of appreciating it!

Not sure what you mean by Chording ? Lost Art ? I was mostly referring to piano teachers . . . I belong to a piano teachers forum, which I really love, but very few instructors will teach their students the basics of chording and progression of chords. I remember watching my father chord with his left hand on his old Hammond organ, and after he was done, I would sit down and copy what he did. My teachers frowned upon this type of playing! Sure, they want their students to be able to read the chord in written notation, but most steer away from anything more than that. I want my students to not only be able to read music, but also to learn to play by ear (if possible), follow and feel rhythms, and develop their own sense of style over time by using every tool available to them! Again, this is just my opinion! I sat down at my 970 today for awhile, no styles, no frills, just played some beautiful music . . . And I am grateful every day that I have the ability to do so, with or without any styles or backing tracks! I play what makes me feel good!!!

I know what you mean. I really consider myself a “ chord” player. I don’t think it’s at all a lost art though, but do agree with you 100 percent about piano teachers not teaching chords, and how to practically apply them to music. I tried so hard to find a teacher to work on chord playing with my daughter and I had a really hard time finding a teacher that could or would teach how to play with chords / lead sheets/ comping.., I could teach my daughter but she very resistant to my musical input so I’ve learned to back off. She can play classical violin very well and can play just fine with no sheet music, which makes my very proud. I do wish she did keep up with piano though... Not sure what you mean by Chording ?
