General Fingering Rules
-
The fingering always alternates 123 1234 (or 321
4321) so that the same fingering pattern repeats
every octave.
-
The thumb always stays on the white keys and
never on black keys.
-
The fourth finger always plays a black key (when
there is a black key to be played in the scale).
-
The fifth finger is only used in practice of
scales in all 3 octaves together.
-
When working out scale passages in the
literature, consider alternatives that put the
fingering patterns in alignment between the
hands (thumbs happening together somewhere in
the scale).
-
Fingerings Scales
-
These are just the fingering patterns: Feel free
to use finger 5 when appropriate (first note,
last note, turning around). -
Feel free to revert to traditional fingerings,
especially when performing the melodic minor
scale ascending and descending.
-
In western scale “C” major contain white keys
only, so we also use fifth finger in practice of
scales.

Chords
Chords are used to play along with the melody of a song.
There are many different types of chords; the most common
are major and minor chords. Or a chord is a group of notes,
which are played together. On electronic keyboards, it is
possible to play a chord using only one finger in the
extreme left octave. Find the auto bass chord section (eg.
Yamaha Keyboards), or Casio-chord section (eg. Casio
keyboards), or chord intelligence (eg. Rolland or Kawai
keyboards) and select the single finger position. This will
allow you to play chords using only one or two fingers. On
electronic keyboards, chords can also be played with three,
four or sometimes more fingers. Chords are usually played
with the left hand and the melody is played with the right.
Keyboard Chords, are formed by combining two or more scale
notes. You know the notes that comprise all 12 major scales
and you can play these scales smoothly and not quickly.
Begin combining the scale notes to form chords. We will
begin our study with the simplest and most common type of
piano chords, the triad.In Western music, most harmony is
based on chords. In other words chords are groups of notes
built on major or minor triads (3 notes). In traditional
triadic chords, there are always at least three notes in a
chord. The notes of the chord may be played at the same
time, or may overlap, or may be played separately but in a
quick enough succession that they will be "heard" as a
chord.
Major & Minor Chord
Fingering
Shown above is the left and right hand with each finger
numbered. Remember the finger numbers, as I will be using
them in this section.
Left Hand
The simplest fingering for a three-note chord
such as C major chord with the left hand is 5-3-1, that is,
pinky, middle finger and thumb. The pinky would go on the C, the
middle finger on the E and the thumb on the G. This fingering
can be used for all major and minor chords on the keyboard
regardless of whether they have black keys or not. The same
fingering can be used for playing all major and minor chords.
Right Hand The same fingering reversed can be
used for playing C major chord with the right hand, 1-3-5.
So in this case the thumb goes on C, the middle finger on E
and pinky on G. The same reversed fingering can be used for
playing all major and minor chords.
Exercises Try working out and playing these chords
and playing with either hand to test out this fingering. You
can play each hand separately or play both hands together:
C Major E Major - Notice that the fingering
still works even though G# is a black key.
G Minor - B flat is a black key in this chord. A
flat Minor - This is a tricky one, its notes are A flat,
B and E flat.
Chord Progression
A series of chords played one after another is a chord
progression. Musicians may describe a specific chord
progression e.g. "two measures of G major, then a half
measure of A minor and a half measure of D seventh", or we
simply say "G, A minor, D seventh" in short.
Major Chords
As the name implies a triad is composed of 3 notes from the
major scale. We shall begin with the major triad. A
major triad consists of the 1st, 3rd, and 5th notes or tone
of a major scale. You will also see this referred to as the
root (1st), major third (3rd), and perfect fifth (5th). So,
based upon this C major chord would consist of the notes C,
E, and G of the C major scale. The symbols for a major triad
are Major, M, or Maj. Whenever you see these names or
symbols following a keyboard note (C, D, Eb, F#, etc.) you
know it is referring to major triad chords. Or if you are
just given the note (C, D, etc.) it is inferred to be a
major triad. Now, when you practice major chords, it is
recommend that you form them using the 1st, 3rd, and 5th
fingers of your right hand. Thumb (1st), middle finger
(3rd), and pinky (5th). Your left hand will form these
chords using the 1st, 3rd, and 5th fingers also, but the
numbering is pinky (1st) middle finger (3rd) and thumb
(5th).

Your First Chord
Now that you've got the melody down you want to
make it sound a bit more like a keyboard piece by adding
something with your left hand to it. That something is going
to be chords. The reason for choosing Silent Night as your
first piece is because it only contains three chords, and
they are all of the same type like Major. Remember, a chord
is a just two or more note played at the same time, for the
purposes of this song we are going to be using three note
chords also known as triads. So what are the chords
you need to know? C Major, F Major and G Major, I will now
show you how to play each of these chords on the keyboard.
To play the chord simply press the keys marked for the
chord. So to play C Major I would press C, E and G at the
same time.
C Major
F Major
G Major 
The next thing you need is a "chord with",
this is a way of telling you where the chords come with
respect to the melody and lyrics.
So to start you off, you would play the first note of the
song (G) with your right hand while at the same time playing
the C chord as given above with your left hand. Now simply
keep holding the C chord while you play the first line of
the song. When the melody gets up to the section where the G
chord is simply play a G chord in your left hand and
continue with the melody in the right. Continue this all the
way through until you can play the whole song with chords in
your left and melody in your right hand at the same time.
Playing Major Chord any where in the Keyboard:
Now you are going to know how to play Major chord anywhere
on the keyboard. Say we wanted to work out the major chord G
Major the process is as follows (its probably best to
practice this at the keyboard). Find the note G on the
keyboard this is known as the root note of the chord.
G major chord
Next count
up 4 half tones from G to get you to B, this is the second
note of your chord. Now count up 3 half tones from B to get
you to D. This is your G major chord G-B-D. So the Major
chord consists of the root note, a note 4 half tones above
the root note, a note 3 half tones above the middle note.
That’s it! As soon as you read that you just learnt all the
major chords on the keyboard. The Major chord consists of
the interval of 4 half tones followed by an interval of 3
half tones.Lets try another one, work
out the A Major chord.
Find the root note, in this case A.
Count up 4 half tones from A to get C#.
Count up 3 half tones from C# to get E
And we have the A major chord, A - C#
How to find Chords in different desi keyboards rhythm
section.
Yamaha and Technics Keyboard Chord Section:
To play G7
Chord on this type of keyboards, press lowest G key with the fourth
finger of your left hand, together with the white key immediately to
its left, using your fifth finger.
Casio Keyboard Chord Section
To play a G7
chord on this type of keyboard, press the lowest G key with the
fourth finger of your left hand, together with the two white keys to
its right, using your third and second fingers.
Kawai and Roland Keyboard Chord Section
To
play G7 chord on this type of keyboard, press the lowest G key with
the fourth finger of your left hand, together with the second
key to its left, using your fifth finger.
When you add
chords to a song, the keyboard also allows you to have a bass and
drum accompaniment at the same time. Chords are indicated by
chord symbols, which are written above notations of songs.
Chords in auto accompaniment section:
-
Setup the one finger chord function on your keyboard.
-
Select a disco, or tabla style beat from the rhythm section.
-
Find the switch called synchro/start (e.g: Yamaha keyboards).
-
Press the C chord key and release it immediately. Your
keyboard will begin playing a C chord with bass and drum
accompaniment, and continue playing until you press another key, or
the stop button. Look in your owners manual if you need more
help to use this feature.
