When I first stumbled upon the Open Position Chord, I knew I had discovered something special! Here was a chord that had its notes spread out over 2 octaves! With this much space, the sound that is produced is beautiful and wide open - hence the name of the chord. And it's perfect for the New Age style of piano playing! For example, in Lesson 26: "Rabbit in Snow," we use the OPC to create with. The chords are chosen. The key is set (A Major). Now all that is left to do is improvise.

With this set of limitations, it becomes a matter of playing around with the possibilities. I use the chords and the element of time to create with. My left hand usually stays in the initial position while my right is free to play melody. It leaves the initial position but always returns to the OPC configuration.

To use the OPC, one must be able to play with it without worrying too much about what's coming out. The more you "play," the more you will discover. Not by trying or forcing, but by allowing. The secret to using this chord position is to play around with its innumerable possibilities. Here is a chord structure that allows you to play with both hands right away, and is perfect for the New Age style!
