What if learning music theory could feel less like studying and more like making music? The Ultimate Guide to Piano Chords by Garreth Brooke, Ruth Alberici and Lona Kozik takes a refreshingly practical and creative approach to harmony, encouraging students to play, listen and discover how chords work at the piano. As someone who loves teaching chords and exploring harmonic patterns, I was particularly excited to discover this beautifully designed resource, and in this post, I’ll share why I think it deserves a place in the piano teacher’s toolkit.
