"MUSIC TEACHER WITH MORE THAN 4 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE"

Keyboard instruments are generally played with a more complex treble side than the bass side, and since most people are right handed it makes sense to give it the more complex part. This has been true for a long time I imagine, from ancient lyres and harps mainly.

How many chords are there in keyboard. How much time will it typically take to pick up speed?
Your question itself is not correct. A chord is when 2 or more keys are pressed on the keyboard. A triad is a chord when the 1st, 3rd and 5th notes of a scale are played together. e.g if C,E & G keys are pressed together the C triad (chord) played.
