Whether liked by teacher or student, theory is key to the success of musical ambition, and so the chords unravel to be formed, music takes a new era of excellence. With the tones in tune, and the style awakening from originality, chords are theoretically established at the foundation of many of today's popular songs. It is in the skill of originality that one searches for a unique creation set in the chords of the piano, and the truth is, it is theory at play, and ear training at work.

As the modern piano player shofts from chord to chord and then a pattern is formed where the chords are repeated, and set if bars, and a chorus added of different notes combined of chords, and so is it that piano stylistics are deeper in theory of what one understands from have had training in the theory of piano music. It is indeed practice that makes the piece, but the greatest essential success of music is related directly to the player's understanding and pratice of theory.

It is essential to know the sounds of the piano to an ear training knowledge of what notes would sound good in the song you are writing. As it is a set of patterns that makes the song flow with words and notes that are high and still there is breathing techinique and singing technique that develop with the ear training accomplished when one can easily sit at the paino and play an original song and develop a unique song that could be the next.

When the rules are set on recognition, and the game is to understand where one is going on the piano, develop much attention to the actual study of theory in books and do do the wroksheets, because the essential part of the training is based on the creative understanding, so like life, the piano is like the back of the hand, and its paths in tuning need to be known, and so the theoretical side of piano is the guide.

When learning piano, concentrate on theory, and practice posture, and so develop style and uniqueness. In writing a song on the piano, create a set of patterns of chords, and reach your voice to match the tune of what the chords you have put together in sets of bars and choruses. There are a million songs waiting to be written, but what is key is the understanding of sound and delivery, and so practice singing with the piano, and lead your melody also in a pattern, so as to sing on top of the patterns of chords and deliver a song freestyle.

There are many ways to write, and so recorded the chords you have made of notes as theory teaches on musical staff paper, and then you have a written song, that anyone can follow, and that you can memorize and sing uniquely. Develop the chords and notes in patterns, and seek for the strength of expression to come through your voice and become in the development of the time, the present, the history, and the pace.
