The important technic of voicing a chord can be taught to students at a very young age. I usually break it up into a few stages, which the following video clips will show.
1. Play the top note of the chord in the RH by itself. Get this note in the ear of the student. The following 3 video clips show a 6-year old who is learning this for the first time.
2. Play the top note of a chord using 3 in the RH, and play the other two notes with the LH.
3. Play the top note of a chord using 5 in the RH, and play the other two notes with the LH.
4. Eventually, add LH and practice chord progressions regularly. The first video shows a 9-year old who has practiced all of these steps for a few years, followed by an 8 year old, who has also been practicing chord progressions for a few years.
