    1. If you found it hard maybe ask the teacher for help in the lesson, and you could PRACTICE!! if your at home you could watch some videos to help you.

    2. Hi Rhys, I think you should spend more time practicing slowly and gradually you will get faster. Take your time in the beginning and don't expect to be good staight away. Practice makes perfect! From Yunus Bendahane 😎

    3. To improve your reaction try memorising where to arch your fingers over each key and you could also try to memorise the feel of moving your fingers one key across at a time ;)

    1. Make sure you have your fingers with your ring and index finger off the keys and remember 'play a note, skip a note'. Also, look for the 2 black keys and the key to the left of them is C and in between the first 2 keys that are a group of 3 is G. :)

      Maybe ask sir or ask your partner. The person may reply saying that you should see were the two black keys are in the middle that might help you find the G and C key.Keep the good work up.

  4. 1)I was playing the piano
    2) I didn't find the chords challenging because I already knew how to play them because I play the piano
    3) Next lesson maybe I could challenge myself by playing the melody over the top of the chords

  5. 1)I was playing the keyboard.
    2)I learned that chords are most commonly 3 notes played at the same time and how to play c chord and g chord on the keyboard.
    3)I found putting my little finger on the right key hard because it kept wandering to the right slightly onto the next key.
    4)I think I need to learn more chords to push myself further.

    1. My advice is to look at your fingers before you play the chord.

      If you press your fingers down harder (but not too hard!) then your finger should stay where you put it and it won't slip over to the next string.

    1. I think you should just memories each key and then get used to them. You can also remember that a c is next to each 2 black keys.

    2. Maybe try practicing the chords and maybe you could spread your fingers a little bit to reach the notes quicker .🎹

      Delete
    3. Maybe you can practice at home or watch videos to learn the chords. What else's you could do is to maybe bring some notes from home, you may find it easier. I think if you spread your fingers a bit it would be better to play chords more quickly.��

    4. Maybe if you practice at home or watch videos it will help you master all the chords. What else you could do is to bring in some notes so that it could help you in the lessons. I think if you spread your fingers a bit on the keyboard 🎹 you will be able to play the chords more quickly.

    1. Get ready to switch your fingers before your meant to so they will be in the right place, You could also practice switching your fingers without strumming to make it easier.

    2. I learnt how to play C and G cord and how to switch between both.

    1. When playing 'c' and 'g', try to hover your fingers over the G strings ,since you don't need them for C, so that you can just put them onto te strings straight away.

  10. 1. Keyboard
    2. How to play C and G key

    1. Try to arch your fingers up or keep them risen to press the right key.
      keep trying with the triads-three note chord-to see if you can play a c,g and e . To change triads keep your fingers in the same psition while lifting them up

  12. I was playing the piano. I learnt how to play a `C' and a `G'. I found pressing all the different keys at once. next lesson, I need to keep practicing playing a `C' and `G' to get used to pressing them.

  13. The instrument I was playing was a piano which was hard to play but eventually I got the hang of it.I learnt how to play G chord and C chord which was really fun, I had fun with my partner who was struggling but in the end she got the hang of it too.I found it quite difficult to play at the beginning but it got easier as I got through the lesson. Next lesson I will try to push myself further to improve my playing because it sounded quite out of tune and out of rhyme so that is what I will do on Friday the next lesson. Sometimes I get my hands muddled up because the C and G chord letters was rubbed off which was very chaotic but then my partner spotted the letters were on the keyboard. Even though I wanted to play the Ukulele I liked playing the piano better.

  15. Yunus Bendahane. Last lesson I played the ukelele and learned the two chords shown on the board. I found it a bit tricky to switch my fingers between chords. Next time, I will play the chords more and try to practice switching between them better.

    1. Remember to skip a note and the play a note and the skip a note and play a note. Therefore it will be easier to switch between the chords the chords when you play them will flow more and will sound fluent.

    2. To learn to switch between the two chords more easily you could start off slowly and gradually get faster. You should also practice alot so your brain will get used to the hand postions and switching between them.

  21. 1.I was playing the keyboard in class.
    2.I learned the G and C cords and I also learned to put my pinky finger on the lowest key, so as to be able to use the right half of the keyboard.
    3.I found changing hands very frequently to be difficult as, I have never actually played keyboard before, so this was quite challenging. I found it harder finding the correct keys.
    4.To push myself further, I could learn some more cords, and practice more often. If I had a piano at home, I could progress faster.
