Piano Teaching Lesson Plans: V7 Chord
Piano Adventures Lesson Book 1 introduces the V7 chord with a simplified 2 note version. I have students analyze their music before playing and color I and V7 "chord pieces" in different colors so they quickly become adept at spotting chord shapes and patterns in their music. (See Teaching Chords in Color).
