Practise G-major piano scales and triads with Jason Zac: move up the scale and down the chord, then reverse. Use an eighth-note grid, lengthen one scale note and add a steady left-hand pulse. Jason Zac, piano faculty at Nathaniel School of Music, demonstrates a simple but powerful exercise: play the scale in a rhythmic manner alongside the chord, moving up and then back down the keyboard. It's an ideal everyday workout that builds finger evenness, locks your triads into your hands, and tightens your sense of timing — all in one routine. 🏫 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 🎹 Watch Part 2 ➡️ https://youtu.be/qIYO0blVQ08 🎼 Music Theory ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory 🎹 Arpeggios ➡️ 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 📞 Call +91 98454 65411 · 💬 WhatsApp chat +91 77604 56847 📧 Customised & Private Classes ➡️ music@nathanielschool.com 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music ➡️ https://riffs.jasonzacmusic.com/ #PianoScales #PianoExercises #PianoPractice Chapters 00:00 Combine piano scales and triads 01:39 Ascend the scale and descend the chord 03:14 Thumb crossing and controlled hand movement 04:53 Descend the scale and ascend the chord 05:14 Fit the exercise into an eighth-note grid 06:50 Lengthen the first scale note 08:43 Add a steady left-hand pulse 09:50 Lengthen other notes in the scale 10:51 Lengthen the third note of the scale 13:14 Cycle through the rhythmic variations
