As shown in the survey included in this research. It is very important to familiarize in oneself with chord playing. This is due to the fact that most piano learners do not plan on majoring in piano performance, but instead on taking piano lessons simply as part of their leisure life.
Most popular music and Contemporary christian music nowadays are using chord signs marked above or below the staff, and players who are used to score-reading containing every single note cannot help but find it difficult.
The range of this research was set so that students familiar with the basics of elementary piano learning would be presented with step by step guidelines of chord learning and be able to easily learn diverse types of harmonic progression using the concept of chord.
This study also introduces practice pieces that would enable one to experience clear beats and diverse patterns as the rhythm progresses.
Accompaniment can be divided into melodic accompaniment and non-melodic accompaniment depending on its type. This research presents a pattern of non-melodic accompaniment that can be applied to a wide range of song playing through diverse rhythms.
Chord and rhythm share an intimate relationship in accompaniment and step-by-step learning is clearly necessary in studying both.
Being able to play on one's own can not only heighten his or her interest in diverse songs including school music and children's songs, but it can also strongly motivate him or her to achieve high self esteem through piano playing as adults.
I hope this research would trigger the invention of a new method that would make piano playing easier for both children and adults without much musical talent, so that they would be able to enjoy music for long.
