Are you looking for free sheet music? Here's a few for this week:
In many styles of music including Country, it is common to play the bottom note of the chord, followed by the upper notes of the chord and keep alternating between them. This is known as a broken chord style of playing.
C Chord played in the l.h. would be C then play EG together.
Once you're comfortable playing C as a broken chord, try moving between the chords C, F, and G.
So, let's look at the music chords for Baby by Justin Bieber.

(Piano) Zhi You Qing Yong Zai / 只有情永在 {Free Piano Score Download}
This Cantonese song, sung by Jacky Cheung & Cally Kwong, has a very beautiful melody.
The young girl that is playing this piano song has her own website, candy6jan.weebly.com
You can get sheet music for the piano at her piano blog here and here. It's easy to fill out the forms and get a free account to download files.
I want to thank so many wonderful people for writing in their requests to me for piano music and chords, how to learn the piano, using both hands at the piano and classical music, plus worship songs requests. It's always nice to read comments. Thanks for taking the time to talk.
I'll try to get to your notes when possible but in the meantime, stay tuned for upcoming guest posts.
This is the piano theme from the soundtrack for the movie "Halloween" by John Carpenter. The director/co-writer is also the composer of a great soundtrack for this great film.

Great piano playing by pianolion! He offers free sheet music to the songhere.
What's happening in this song that produces this eery sound? Probably Augmented chords.
F#F#/ C#, F#, F#, C#, F#, F#, C#, F#, D, F#...
Here's a selection of sites that offer special songs for this holiday.
VIDEO LESSON #1 - “Finding the key to any song” If you ask any ear-musician, this skill will be at the center If you can’t determine what key a song is being performed in just by listening, you’ll have many problems down the road (at least when it comes to playing by EAR in situations where you need to “think on your feet.”) This is the most “intuitive” of all the skills and knowledge you’ll attain. It’s not like reading sheet music where you look at the grand staff and determine what key the piece is in by the number of flats or sharps that appear at the beginning of the music. YOU DON’T HAVE MUSIC IN FRONT OF YOU. No reference. Just your ear. This video will make it plain… Note: If you really like what I talked about, I have an 80-minute course that covers finding the key to any song. You can find it here.
VIDEO LESSON #2 - “The KEY to getting to the next level in your piano” This next lesson reveals a very important STRATEGY you MUST have as an ear-musician. Again, if you’re reading sheet music, this probably isn’t emphasized as much… but when it comes to playing by ear, “NUMBERS” rule. And your ability to know your numbers “inside” and “out” will determine how far you get… and how fast you get there. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, check out the next lesson below. There is also a 28-pg report that goes along with it. (You may also find my “core fundamentals” courses helpful)
VIDEO LESSON #3 - “The SECRET to playing ANY and EVERY chord you want in SECONDS” This next lesson will take you even further… It borrows a very familiar concept from the car industry (popularized by Henry Ford in the early 1900’s) and adapts it to music! It’s the very next logical step in the process and you’ll get it laid out for you plainly in this video… (there is a 14 page report included at the bottom of the video) If this topic interests you, then you may like my “hear & play chords” series.
VIDEO LESSON #4 - “The MISSING PIECE OF THE PUZZLE to playing almost any song out there” This last video could arguably be the MOST IMPORTANT part when it comes to learning real songs and understanding just how closely related songs are (yes… all songs follow the same general patterns and principles — this video will reveal all of this to you…) There’s also a 12-pg report that goes along with it…
I love teaching beginners, young children, and adults. I offer piano lessons for ages 3-103 and all levels from primer to advanced. We have a blast with piano games, playing duets, learning songs and theory.
I offer private and group lessons. I am a WunderKeys piano teacher for preschoolers, 3-years-old to Kindergarten. We have 2 recitals, Fall and Spring.
Thank You!
