How do i learn to play on all keys. I have been playing piano for a while and whenever i try to learn all my keys, i just dont know where to start. i can play all my major scales but to play chords and other stuff i just end up going back to c. Any advice?

Start by learning your triads and their inversions in all keys.
Here's a link http://www.learngospelmusic.com/forums/index.php/topic,86585.msg949905.html#msg949905] [url]http://www.learngospelmusic.com/forums/index.php/topic,86585.msg949905.html#msg949905 (http://[url)[/url] There are probably some other similar posts here on lgm that can help with that too.

Most chords are notes 1, 3, 5 of the scale starting on the bottom note of the chord, so you can use those to play major and minor triads (3-note chords).
For example - C E G - C chord, F A C - F chord
7ths are - 1, 3, 5, 7
6ths - 1, 3, 5, 6
hope this helps...

For chords in every key, specifically, try the basic progressions practice: http://www.learngospelmusic.com/forums/index.php/topic,80928.0.html (http://www.learngospelmusic.com/forums/index.php/topic,80928.0.html)
