Louis Armstrong

Loosen up your piano arpeggios and make any chord flow — wild, "chaotic" arpeggio ideas played over the changes to "What a Wonderful World". Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shows how to break out of predictable up-and-down arpeggios and let your chords flow with unexpected, ear-catching patterns over a familiar progression. You'll explore how to vary direction, order and rhythm so a single chord becomes a stream of movement, and how these "chaotic" arpeggios add colour and surprise to any accompaniment. It's a creative way to make your right hand sing while the harmony stays grounded — a flowing, expressive approach you can apply to almost any song on the piano. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses & Private Lessons ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com ============================= ▶️ Related Lessons & Playlists 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory 🎹 All our lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 👂 Ear Training lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/EarTraining ============================= 🎓 Learn Music with Nathaniel School of Music & Jason Zac ➡️ https://nathanielschool.com 📚 All our YouTube lessons (1000+) by skill level, topic & genre ➡️ https://learning-portal.nathanielschool.com ============================= 💰 Donate on PayPal ➡️ https://geni.us/DonatePayPal 📸 Instagram ➡️ https://instagram.com/jasonzac 📞 +91 77604 56847 (Mobile & WhatsApp) 📧 Customised & Private Classes ➡️ music@nathanielschool.com 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music ➡️ https://riffs.jasonzacmusic.com/ #PianoArpeggios #WhatAWonderfulWorld #PianoTutorial

Tired of robotic arpeggios? In this lesson you'll learn to play piano arpeggios with character, emotion and dynamics so they actually express something. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shows you how to play arpeggios on the piano with character, emotion and dynamics — turning a plain run of notes into an expressive musical line.

In this harmonisation tutorial, you learn the chord progression of "What a Wonderful World" and develop numerous ways to harmonise the melody. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shows you how to survive any song by harmonising the great Louis Armstrong tune using jazz theory, diatonic theory with ChordTrees, cadences, borrowed chords, secondary dominants and bass movement. Throughout the lesson you use only your ear and music theory to figure out the chords as close to the original as possible, a skill you can apply to any song. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 Performance 00:47 Introduction 01:54 Why I chose “Wonderful World” 02:46 Key Signature & Scale 04:10 Harmonisation of “I see trees of Green, Red Roses too” 04:48 Bass Movement 06:42 Non-Diatonic Chords 09:28 Harmonising “Me and you” 12:09 What does Bass actually do in Band? 12:52 Different Keys using secondary Dominant 14:53 Harmonising “And I think to Myself” 19:10 Harmonising “What a Wonderful World” 20:35 Why Music Theory is Important? 22:39 Harmonising “World” 26:14 Harmonising the B Section 30:18 Summary ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses & Private Lessons ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com ============================= ▶️ Related Lessons & Playlists 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory 🎹 All our lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 👂 Ear Training lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/EarTraining ============================= 🎓 Learn Music with Nathaniel School of Music & Jason Zac ➡️ https://nathanielschool.com 📚 All our YouTube lessons (1000+) by skill level, topic & genre ➡️ https://learning-portal.nathanielschool.com ============================= 💰 Donate on PayPal ➡️ https://geni.us/DonatePayPal 📸 Instagram ➡️ https://instagram.com/jasonzac 📞 +91 77604 56847 (Mobile & WhatsApp) 📧 Customised & Private Classes ➡️ music@nathanielschool.com 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music ➡️ https://riffs.jasonzacmusic.com/ #WhatAWonderfulWorld #Harmonisation #EarTraining

Learn 'What a Wonderful World' by Louis Armstrong on piano with beautiful jazz arpeggios, seventh-chord extensions, add chords and slash-chord voicings. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music teaches the whole song (A & B sections) and then voices it with rich extensions so the arpeggios flow smoothly under the melody. You'll also practise a gentle 6/8 version with simple accompaniment - the kind of part that lets you sing and play at the same time. A perfect lesson for turning plain chords into expressive, jazzy piano. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:33 Formation of Add 9 Chords 03:31 Formation of Add 11 Chords 04:43 Add #5, Maj 6th and Min 6th Chords 05:23 Seventh Chord extensions 07:32 The basic 6/8 arpeggio pattern 08:49 I see trees of green Red roses too 10:53 I see them bloom For me and you 12:30 And I think to myself What a wonderful 14:24 World…. 16:21 Verse 2 17:34 World from Verse 2 (Last Line) 18:34 The Colours of the Rainbow 19:44 Are also on the faces 21:55 I see friend shaking hands Saying, "How do you do?" 22:36 They're really saying I love you 23:38 Revision 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses & Private Lessons ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com ============================= ▶️ Related Lessons & Playlists 🎶 All our Arpeggio Lessons (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT-BCpTe-KKSdiKlAFMvYNsH 🎼 Arpeggios reference ➡️ https://geni.us/Arpeggios ============================= 🎓 Learn Music with Nathaniel School of Music & Jason Zac ➡️ https://nathanielschool.com 📚 All our YouTube lessons (1000+) by skill level, topic & genre ➡️ https://learning-portal.nathanielschool.com ============================= 💰 Donate on PayPal ➡️ https://geni.us/DonatePayPal 📸 Instagram ➡️ https://instagram.com/jasonzac 📞 +91 77604 56847 (Mobile & WhatsApp) 📧 Customised & Private Classes ➡️ music@nathanielschool.com 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music ➡️ https://riffs.jasonzacmusic.com/ #PianoLessons #PianoTutorial #WhatAWonderfulWorld #PianoArpeggios
