The second half of john thompson Simple Piano Course 2 will introduce some very simple two-tone and three-tone chords, including vertical combination and decomposition. It enables students to get the "feeling" of harmony accompaniment before learning the principle and evolution of chords. Of course, this can only be done after mastering a certain knowledge of scales and intervals.

I learned musical theory knowledge such as notes and sound length in books. Before most examples, there are short four-bar finger exercises. Since the five-finger group is the forerunner of the scale, the importance of these small exercises can not be underestimated.

As a basic form of music and skill, scale will be discussed in more detail later.
