You will learn to recognize chords by sight during piano classes El Dorado Hills. In order for you to be capable of making out a chord by sight, you are required to be aware of the ways chords are constructed and what particular notes are in each chord, or the ways to spell each chord. Your instructor will serve as a detailed piano guide that goes over everything you need to know about chords and notably, the particular notes that are in each chord.

Chords are constructed in several different ways. The same as with other pieces and scales, begin with the simplest and then learn the harder ones as you step forward and can build upon the basic foundation. We build chords with a particular number of notes and a chord is named in part, depending on the number of notes it has in it. Triad is one example.

• A Triad is a chord with three notes in it. It can be built in diverse ways – meaning it can begin with different notes, on condition that the entire notes are supposed to be in a specific chord. A C Major triad has the notes C, E, & G in it. So the chord can be written just like that C, E, G or it can be written E, G, C, or even G, C, E. All the different ways are still considered a C Major triad, regardless of what note it begins with.
• The note that a triad or any other chord starts establishes what is called a Position. For instance, a C Major chord that begins on the note C is known as Root Position. Always read chords from the bottom to the top notes.

• In Root Position, the notes are uniformly stacked on top of each other on the sheet music. If we move the bottom note to the top so we are now reading the chord as E, G, C and this is known as Position First Inversion. We can then invert the chord one more time by putting the second note on the top so the chord is now G, C, E, and this is known as the Second Inversion of the same original triad.

• Inverted triads are simple to make out for the reason that the notes are not uniformly stacked on top of each other as they’re in the Root Position.

Triads have three notes in them:

• The intervals in Root Position are thirds.
• The intervals in the 1^st Inversion position are a third between the 1^st two notes, and then a fourth between the 2^nd and 3^rd notes.
• The intervals in 2^nd Inversion are a fourth between the 1^st two notes, and then a third between the 2^nd and 3^rd notes.

 These are the formulas that you will get to know about during piano classes in El Dorado Hills and they will teach you the fundamentals of the ways to recognize chord structure, the ways to recognize what position a chord is in, and how vital it is to learn what notes make up each chord in a given key signature.
