Practicing piano reveals just how many combinations a keyboard can offer: ten fingers, dozens of keys, and countless ways to arrange notes into chords.

In this short lesson, I demonstrate a particular voicing and show how it can be used through a song. The idea is to listen to the shape of the chord, then explore how it sounds in context.

A useful voicing is a starting point, rather than a formula that fits every song. Try it slowly, listen to how the notes blend with the melody and bass, and adapt it when the harmony changes.
