20 Minutes - 108 Piano Chords By Name From One's Head?
Yes!
McPhee: It's true, it works and ages 6 to 60 plus have learned the method. Let me explain without giving it all away. The musical alphabet is A through G and repeats A through G over and over. Most children can recite the English alphabet in its entirety. Music requires they know A,B,C,D,E,F,G then A,B,C... over again. The piano keyboard has a black and white pattern that also repeats like a mathematical phrase. Don't let the term mathematics frighten you. I developed a simple exercise using a math formula that children find easy to apply. Within twenty minutes, (shorter for adults) children can formulate any Major, minor chord, (a chord for this example is at least three notes sounded together) sharp or flat, and three different versions of each by name. If you ask them to play F#minor, they can do it. B Major, etc; name the chord and they can play it. Of course they are not fast after the lesson but they know what they are doing by name and speed will come from practice. If guitar is a students only interest they are still required to take Pinuar Piano 1 before moving to the guitar. Knowledge of this first piano lesson lends itself to making the guitar easy to understand.

20 Years?
If you've been teaching this method for twenty years, why are we only hearing about it now?
McPhee: In the past only family and friends were privy and sworn to secrecy. Since I have been encouraged to make it available to the public and will globally introduce the lessons in multiple languages throughout 2010. Though I have been writing and composing music for a lot of years my "bread and butter" has come from a career in management of business development, real estate subdivision development, publishing, product marketing, sales and finance. Like the rest of us, real life can get in the way of a multitude of diverse ambitions.
