Let’s learn to play a few chord patterns below which are helpful when improvising music. In each of these lessons, you will learn a technique to make the left hand parts more interesting when playing songs.
 
Each of these chord patterns is illustrated by an easy songs which you have learned in the “Learn Songs for Beginners” section.


 
Lesson 18 – Double Chord Pattern
 

Part 1 – You will notice that only one chord is played in each measure in the original song, “Brother John”.
Part 2 – In this part, a pattern of two chords (doubled chords) are played in each measure.

 

 
Lesson 19 – Broken Chord Pattern
 

Part 1: You will notice that the left hand plays all of the notes of a chord together in “London Bridge is Falling Down”
Part 2: In this part: each of the chords is broken down into two (2) parts: i.e. play the first note of the chord by itself, and then followed by playing the second and third notes of the chord together.
For example: instead of playing all the notes of C Major chord (C-E-G) together, you will be playing note C, followed by playing notes E and G together; same is true for G Major chord: play G, then B and D together


 

 
Lesson 20 – Arpeggio Chord Pattern
 

Part 1: You will notice that the left hand plays all of the notes of the chord at the same time in “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”.
Part 2: The left hand plays notes of the chord separately. This is called playing using an arpeggio pattern.
