Unit 4: Music Theory (Aura Lee) (Adult Piano Adventures Book 2)
-----
Great pieces await in Adult Piano Adventures Book 2 by Nancy and Randall Faber. This convenient "All-In-One" volume offers carefully sequenced instruction in note reading, music theory and piano technique. Its appealing new design clearly introduces concepts such as triad inversions, 3/8 and 6/8 time signatures, 16th-note rhythms, connected pedaling, and major and minor scales, plus a special focus on chord playing with lead sheets of familiar songs.

You make the simplest tune sound so beautiful! I am working my way through your book and these videos are proving invaluable. Of course your Steinway is magnificent. 💕
Is there a way to notate parallel maj/min chords? Does the notation of II vs ii imply that, when/if used?

When using Roman numerals for indicating harmonies, the upper case vs. lower case is the difference between major and minor. Both would be built on the diatonic second scale degree, but the chord quality would be different between the two.
Do you take the moment when you play non diatonic chords as key modulation? Or the song keeps same key but just exceptional chords shows up? In another words, when or how you differentiate “key modulation” or “just play chords that are not in the original key”? Anyway thank you for sharing great content!:)

Great question, and thanks for writing to us. The chords chosen in this lead sheet don't necessarily imply that the music has modulated. For that to happen, you'd need to have a new sense of the tonic note. In this song, even with these harmonies, one mostly still feels F as the tonic (or "home") note throughout the piece. So, while non-diatonic chords often do signal an upcoming modulation to a new key, sometimes they are there for temporary surprising changes along the way.
