1. Chord Book: Blocked, open harmony and arpeggio style.  Up to this point in your lessons you have been using a blocked style of playing chords.  Now we are adding another style that the left hand can use for arranging. If you decide to play a song using blocked chords, the chords should be played between middle C and the C an octave lower. Blocked chords should be played in this range of the piano to avoid distortion.  If you want to open the chords and utilize the &lower part of the piano, then you should arrange the chords using open harmony.  As an example we are playing "Scarborough Fair" using an open harmony and arpeggio style.
