Wide Chord? Share the Inner Note
Some printed chords are wider than a small hand can reach. Before you give up on a sound, ask one question: can the other hand take one of the notes? Passing a note to the other hand is called redistributing. Every pitch and every rhythm stays the same. Only the hand changes. Your teacher decides whether it is the right choice for you.
Plain prints every note in black, without the color coding.
