Hope this routine works for you! Try it out and let me know in the comments! I always start with 15 minutes of Creative Playing which is freestyle and improvised but keeping an eye on the opportunity where a spark to a new song or riff could be generated. This is an organic process (no planning!) (15/60) Then I set aside 10 minutes to do an exercise that challenges me as I'm right "in the Zone" at this point. In this session, I'm learning Thirds! (10/60) I then move back to something both creative and technically grueling at the same time by trying to play a popular piece of music that comes to my mind at the time on all 12 keys. Sometimes I even transpose to a minor scale, Dorian or Mixolydian mode! (15/60) I then have 10 more minutes assigned to another exercise, in this case working on something different like Spread Chords (Open Voicing) (10/60) Lastly, I spend about 15 minutes playing some of my compositions just to stay in touch and prepare for future recordings. Sometimes, this is at random but is really helpful in my journey as a musician. https://www.youtube.com/embed/gwX4hFEGc94 yes Nathaniel School of Music https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/3-funky-piano-rhythm-patterns-using-a-popular-chord-progression-part-8 2026-04-04 monthly 0.8 https://img.youtube.com/vi/3_fuHe224nE/maxresdefault.jpg 3 FUNKY Piano Rhythm Patterns using a POPULAR Chord Progression (Part 8) In this Funk Piano lesson, we look at 2 incredible Sixteenth note syncopated rhythm patterns (1/16th) that you can use for groovy, disco, reggae, or even EDM music.

We use intervals and triads to generate the sounds of the modes we commonly deal with as musicians. Learn how a single chord can be used to support a variety of scales that can be used in parallel or modal interchange. Sometimes, we don’t necessarily need to learn the mode before we compose music. We could just start with one or two chords and derive a mode or a scale from there! Performance Introduction The C major exists in so many Scales! What constitutes a “Modal” sound?

The correct GRID settings inside a DAW are very useful when it comes to the arrangement as a music producer.

The idea is to focus on the "bossa nova clave", a popular Afro-Cuban pattern in one hand, while focussing on maintaining a steady pulse with the other hand. You can really challenge your independence when you bring them together! The Left-hand plays the Pulse and arpeggios and the right-hand plays the clave.

And then a Melody can be added to the arpeggio pattern once your rhythm is in place. Play 1/8 notes in one hand and sneak in a few 1/16th notes with your other hand to create the magic used in a lot of folk and bluegrass songs. And you can use this with any chord progression you wish. This technique is influenced by the Banjo. An instrument popularly used with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Mumford and Sons and more.
