The Nashville Number System was originally written and published in 1988 by Chas. He has rigorously updated and edited the book for each of 7 subsequent editions. Featured here is the 2005 printing and 7th edition of The Nashville Number System; expanded with the inclusion of the cd/cd rom, String Of Pearls. By word of mouth, it has become the most recommended source for learning the Number System. The Nashville Number System is used as a text at Berklee College of Music, in Boston, Belmont University, in Nashville, and MTSU in Murfreesboro,TN. SYNOPSISIn the late 50's, Neil Matthews devised a musical number system for the Jordanaires to use in the studio. Charlie McCoy and fellow studio musicians began adapting Matthews' number system into chord charts. The Nashville Number System has evolved into a complete method of writing chord charts and melodies---combining Nashville shorthand with formal notation standards. The Nashville Number System is 130 pages with a step by step method of how to write a Nashville number chart for any song. Included with each NNS book in Edition 7 is the cd, "String Of Pearls". This is a 10 song cd of instrumentals, including, Amazing Grace. I walk you through the details of each song and explain the Number System tools used to write the charts. Now, while listening to the cd, you can see and hear how Nashville number charts work.String Of Pearls is an Extended CD (CD ROM). As well as high quality audio that will play in your cd player, you can insert the disc into your computer and watch animated number charts as you listen to the songs. On the cd rom, there is a click track with each song and a highlight moving from chord to chord in time with the music. You can see exactly how to count each measure in real time with the music. Counting bars is probably the hardest part of the number system to teach. With this cd rom, you will be able to see, hear and feel how these charts work.

You may be surprised to find out that there are only four chords that make up most of the songs you hear. In fact, one of those four is just the fundamental chord, but with a shifted down bass note and sounds darker. This means that you only need to learn-and you absolutely can learn-how to recognize three main chords with just your ear. You'll be able to play most songs without needing any sheet music or searching for the chords online.If you've ever wanted to know how to hear a song and play the chords by ear, Piano Chords Three: Numbers is a way to do that! Here's how it works: Professionals listen for the chords in a song as numbers instead of the chord names. Each key changes the names of the chords, but not the numbers. For instance, in the key of C, the 1 chord is C. In the key of G, the 1 chord is G. The 1 chord is a very simple chord to hear. Once you hear the fundamental, distinct tone of the 1 you can then find the key by testing several chords until you find the right one. Then you not only know what key you are in but also the fundamental 1 chord for that key. All the other chords in the song build from that one!Piano Chords Three: Numbers includes:-Welcome: Why Numbers and What Are They?-One: The 1 Chord and Its Dominance-Two: The 4 and 5: The Other Pillars-Three: The 6m: Just A Dark 1 Chord-Four: The 2m: The New 4-Five: The "Over" or Passing Chords: 1/3, 5/7, and 4/1-Six: The 3m and 7dim-Seven: The ?7, 2, and 3: The Accidentals-Eight: The Most Common Chord Patterns (You'll Hear These Everywhere)-Nine: Going A Little Beyond: Chord Suffices-Final Greetings and Pop QuizEveryone can do this! New players and seasoned!

Inspire your students to become lifelong lovers of the piano with Supersonics Pop School 1 Method Book. This book teaches all the pop chords for the piano with catchy, fun-to-play pieces. Pop School 1 is the perfect companion to more "traditional" piano methods (If you are already using the Supersonics Piano Method, that is, Levels 1, 2, 3 or Quick Start A, then you are already covering the concepts and material within this book). Each original piece introduces new pop chords and demonstrates how to apply them to the piece provided with different levels of difficulty. You can make each piece as easy or as hard as you want. Chords are introduced first using the absolute naming system (that is: C, Am and so on). Then, when students have a good practical knowledge of these, you can expand on this and introduce a relative naming system. The free Roman Numeral and Nashville Number System analyses in the Supersonics Plus App will help you to do this. Enhance your teaching method with these extra online resources and creative activities in the app that encourage students to practice and take pride in their progress. By the end of this piano chord book and the accompanying online material students will have a deep understanding and foundation from which to apply their knowledge to other styles and genres of music.
