    Chords are the foundation<\/a> of Western music. With just a few chords, you can play hundreds of popular songs. In fact, you can unlock tons of songs with just four basic chords<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    One convenient thing about using chords to learn piano is that chords are readily available. Just Google \u201c[name of song] + chords.\u201d There is a big library of chord charts on one of our favorite websites, Ultimate-Guitar.com<\/a>. While, yes, this website is aimed chiefly at guitarists, you can toggle the settings to \u201cpiano\u201d and see chord diagrams for piano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But if you want an even more<\/em> convenient way to reference chords, grab a copy of Piano Chords & Scales<\/em><\/a>. This handy reference book is perfect for learning new chords or double-checking that you\u2019re playing chords correctly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
