ENTER THE SYSTEM

Turn your sound on and raise both hands. The hand on the left of the screen chooses the chord: show 1 to 5 fingers for degrees I to V, index and pinky for VI, and add the thumb for VII. Tilt it inward, toward the middle of the screen, for minor. The hand on the right plays it: 1 to 4 fingers choose the voicing, thumb out drops an octave, height sets how hard the keys are struck and tilt sets the tone. Close it into a fist to lift off the keys; open it again to strike again. No camera? Hold number keys 1 to 7.
