Playing the Chords.
EXAMPLE
EXPLANATION
Above the Line - "Key of C means that the chords of the key of C Major are to be used (Minor key would be indicated "Key of C.M.") The numerals tell which chords or that key are to be used.
When a chord from another key is used it will be indicated, 1g (1st chord G Major), 2 e.m. (2nd chord G Major) etc.
A horizontal line after a numeral indicates a continuance of that chord
Below the Line - "4 beats" means that there are four beats (eight strokes) to a measure. A measure is the space between the perpendicular lines.
Now - Place the fingers in position for the first chord key of C Major, (p 9) strike down, up, down, up, down; rest the time it would take to make three strokes, (up, down, up.) It is a good plan at first to keep the hand moving in time during the rests. Next plat the first chord of A Major (p10) in the same manner. The the second chord of A Minor (p9) then the third chord of C Major. Finish with the first chord of C Major.
Ir you gave carefully studied every thing up to this point you will have no difficulty in playing the following exercises.
Take one exercise at a time, plat it slowly at first. Do not leave it until you can play it smoothly and rapidly.
