Chords and sequences of chords are mostly used in modern West African and Oceanic music, Western classical music, and Western popular music ; yet, they are absent from the music of many other parts of the world.
In tonal Western classical music (music with a tonic key or “home key”), the most frequently encountered chords are triads, so called because they consist of three distinct notes: the
root note, and intervals of a third and a
fifth above the root note. Chords with more than three notes include added tone chords , extended chords and
tone clusters, which are used in
contemporary classical music , jazz and other genres.

Chords can be represented in various ways. The most common notation systems are:

1. Plain staff notation, used in classical music
2. Roman numerals , commonly used in harmonic analysis to denote the scale step on which the chord is built.
3. Figured bass , much used in the Baroque era, uses numbers added to a bass line written on a
   staff, to enable keyboard players to improvise chords with the right hand while playing the bass with their left.
4. Chord letters, sometimes used in modern musicology, to denote chord root and quality .
5. Various chord names and symbols used in popular music lead sheets, fake books , and chord charts, to quickly lay out the harmonic ground plan of a piece so that the musician may
   improvise, jam , or vamp on it.

We all know that Music has taken a dynamic turnaround in the world. We notice daily that Music also has a life and it grows. We ought to grow along as it grows. It has taken changes in the styles of songs from the 90’s even till this modern time. So here we will teach new chords styles on the keyboard, and the main purpose of all this is to make us SKILLED MUSICIANS.

Thanks for Joining Teach Chords. Together we can make a difference by taking Music to Greater Heights.
