The concert chord method lets beginning
keyboard players easily select and play a
chord.
The number of accompaniment keys you
press determines the type of chord that
plays. This chart shows the chord type that
plays when you press one, two, three, or
four accompaniment keys at the same time.
The lowest note you play determines the
key of the chord. For example, if the lowest
note is C, the keyboard plays a C chord.

Concert Chord
You can press any labeled note(s) to the right
of the lowest note in the chord to produce a
minor, a dominant seventh, or minor seventh
chord.
Standard Fingering
• You do not have to press the key marked
with parentheses on the keyboard in the
chart to produce a 7, m7, M7, mM7, add9,
or madd9 chord.
• Although the chart shows only one possible
fingering position for each chord, it is
possible to play a chord using several
different positions. For example, the
following three positions produce the same
C chord.
• When you play an aug, 7– 5 , or dim7 chord,
the lowest note you play determines the
root of the chord. Be sure that your
fingering correctly defines the root you
want.
• See “Standard Fingering Chord Charts” on
Page 11 for all the chords you can play on
your keyboard using standard fingering
accompaniment.
