How To Accompany On Piano?

I'm really interested in learning how to accompany myself on piano?

  • I really love to sing, and I've been getting into a lot of local gigs lately. i don't play any instruments, but I've been interested in learning how to accompany myself on piano. I know I only really need to learn chords to be able to accompany myself while singing, but how do I do this? I know how to PLAY chords on piano, but I don't know how to READ chords from sheet music. I was wondering if there's an easy way to learn how to read and play chords on piano to accompany yourself, and could you please tell me the best keyboard to buy for beginners? and if there's a keyboard out there good for accompanying yourself? thanks(:

Sounds like you're great at singing since you're getting all these gigs! Anyway, it's great to have a musical accompaniment, and it's okay if you're not professional or haven't had lessons..it's easy to read chords once you get the hang of it. You can either look up the chord or use a virtual chord page. You can learn new chords using this http://www.onlinepianist.com/chords/ . I use that site a lot to help me with chords. Or you can try to experiment with different notes, and interpret your new chord into a part of the song that sounds good with your singing. You can also incorporate a simple melody. YouTube tutorials are easy to follow most of the time. Good luck!
