| I have put together an Excel spreadsheet on some useful piano chord information. The spreadsheet has several worksheets on chords, the circle of fifths, and a chord calculator. You can simply select the base note that you're interested in and out pops a ton of information on triads, chords, and progressions that are built from that base note. You can download the Excel spreadsheet (327kB) by clicking HERE. |

| We continue to enjoy our piano lessons with our piano instructor. We have completed our third duets and our second piano recital. Sarah co-composed her first song with our music instructor, and it's been accepted by the U.S. Copyright Office! I have recently been playing around with digital audio recording and I have recorded some of our performances. I have up-loaded some of our performances as midi files to this web page. The first eight are shown below, (some have multiple tracks including grand piano, flute, strings, choir, etc). Enjoy! |
