I have recently been working with a student who is new to piano, but plays guitar in his praise band at church. We have been dedicating part of each lesson to chord theory, and working on making a connection between the chords he knows on guitar and the chords he is learning on the piano.
To help make this connection, I created this chord group chart that shows the four groups we use to organize the 12 major chords on the piano. This free chart would be a great resource for your students who are looking to get started with lead sheet or chord chart playing, as well as those who want some visual reinforcement for learning their five-finger scales and chords--you can even mark the additional keys used in each scale if you wish!

What do you think? Do you teach chords using these four groups? Any tricks you use to help your students learning to play chords? Please leave a comment below!
