Essential Information About This Method
- A guide that is both practical and theoretical to understand chord construction and use them on the piano, not just reproduce them.
- 98 chord progressions and cadences to practice essential transitions and accompany musically from the very first pages.
- A chord dictionary classified by families, complemented by a scale dictionary with fingerings and a working method.

Summary of This Book
Designed as a music stand companion, "The New Piano Chord Dictionary" goes far beyond a simple chord repertoire. It is aimed both at the beginner pianist who wants to understand what they play and the advanced musician seeking effective tools to enrich their accompaniment, improvise, and structure their ideas. The progressive approach emphasizes the logic of intervals, the natural link between scales and chords, and then optimizing positions to gain fluidity at the keyboard.
The first part offers the most common chords, classified by families to quickly find the desired harmonic color. Each chord type is presented with clear, readable, and immediately playable positions, allowing a direct transition from theory to practice. The second part completes the learning with a scale dictionary, precise fingerings, and a concrete working method to develop finger dexterity, consistency, and ear training.
The theoretical section remains concise and accessible: chord construction, principles of chord extensions, choice of inversions and Drop voicings, simple transposition, and an introduction to the Nashville Number System to navigate all keys. Finally, the 98 chord progressions and cadences help anchor accompaniment reflexes, work on essential progressions, and open the door to improvisation and composition, regardless of style (pop, jazz, variety, contemporary music).

Good but I expected something more advanced. It is still a great tool to improve or understand what you play/compose/arrange.
