    About this series

    Learn Piano Level 9 - Learn to use Suspended Chords Substitution into Away In A Manger & Slash Chord Trick to Suspended Chords

    Sometimes when we listen to musicians playing a musical arrangement, we here an open sound that creates tension that want to resolve quickly to a stable sound, you can be sure that they are suspended chord sounds created by the 4th tone of the chord. The 4th tone of the chord clashes heavily to the chord. So when the musician moves to the 3rd tone quickly, we feel that we have been taken to a wonderful ride.

    Here's the Secret: Whenever you play the Suspended Chord, watch your finger to see which finger is playing that 4th tone. If you play it in the Root position, this works best for runs whereby your 3rd finger can quickly resolve to the semi tone right below it to create that peaceful drama.

    Playing piano is fun when you watch patterns, watch your handshapes, listen to tones, and think in tone numbers. Never memorize notes which we are trained to do as music note learners.

    To play beautiful music, you need to learn to pick up the skills to play by ear and put your heart into the music rather than specific notes.

    Learn how to put in Suspended Chords into your music arrangement of Away in a Manger.

    Key of C: C7sus, D7sus, A7sus, G7sus

    Rosa Suen

    Rosa is the Pastor and Church Pianist for a local community church in Hong Kong for over 30 years. She graduated from University of British Columbia and received her teaching certificate specializing in Chemistry and teaching English as a second language. She  went on to receive her Master's degree in Christian Theological Ministry at Ontario Theological Seminary in Toronto. She started full time ministry with her husband in 1989 and received intensive Pastoral Counselling and Discipleship Training at Christian Disciples Church. They were ordained to become church ministers as Pastors in 1996 in a local church in Tsuen Wan and have been ministering to this same congregation for about 30 years now. Over the years, she has gone on church missions to Mongolia, Sydney, Nepal, India and expedition trips to the Holy Lands: Israel, Greece and Turkey. Wherever she went, she found herself taking up the music ministry and became the church pianist for that church. Many people at church have asked her to teach them to play piano. Her piano courses are very unique because she was finally willing to share her Unique Piano Method: Color ChordImprovisation Method known as CCI. The CCI method works for all types of music: Gospel, Pop and Standards. This Piano Method is easy, fun and creative that you learn to play piano not only from music score sheets, but to play chords from fake books and eventually to play by ear. Students all over the world have requested for courses to teach them play standards and popular songs. As a result she developed 3 Great Reharmonization Method courses for them to play from fake books and play by ear. The Dreamy Piano Techniques courses, especially the one on Autumn Leaves is her students favorite. She has a piano website at Learn Piano With Rosa where she continues to offer new courses to her students.
