Left hand is weakest for most piano players, since most people are right handed. The great thing about stringed instruments like guitar and violin , along with the piano, is that they require a strong, well articulated left hand to add to a better performance. Focus more of your practise on LH.

 Left hand improv progression for a first exercise: Play C-E-G, as a solid Chord. Then, move up to D-F-A. Finally move to E-G-B. You are working up the scale. After E-G-B, head down to DFA, and end at CEG.

This time as you play CEG as a solid chord in the LH, play CEG as a broken chord in the right. This is a warm up for a more sophisticated 7^th chord, coming up in the next post.

Referring to the last post and exercise: This time we're going to add a 7^th tone – either a major 7^th or a minor 7^th to the solid chord in the left hand. For the C major chord, add a B to the right of the chord, and play as a solid chord.

 Next add an C after the DFA solid chord. Then add a D after the E minor chord of EGB. Practise each of these chords back and forth. Guess what we're going to do with the next assignment?
