Piano Chord LibraryHow to practise with the chart
- Choose one row. Say the major notes, then find each key.
- Play slowly up to the repeated root. Return down the same notes.
- Compare natural minor on the same row and identify the lowered third, sixth and seventh.

Why does F♯ major contain E♯?
A scale uses successive letter names. F♯–G♯–A♯–B–C♯–D♯–E♯ follows that rule. E♯ sounds on the F key. The explorer also supports enharmonic root choices, including theoretical spellings requiring double accidentals.
These are note charts, without prescribed fingerings. Natural minor is only one minor form; harmonic and melodic minor are not included.
