Piano lesson with Jason Zac of Nathaniel School of Music. Three ways to make six notes: take a seven-note scale and leave one note out (G major without F♯), add one note to a pentatonic (the minor and major blues scales), or put two triads together that share no note (G major + A minor — the "Sunday scale", a name made popular by pianist Peter Martin). Then play the pairs, in G: G + A minor, A♭ + B♭ minor, G + A (Lydian, no 7), G + F (Mixolydian, no 6), G + F minor and G + A♭ (Phrygian dominant colours), G + E♭ minor (the augmented scale), G + D♭ (a tritone apart — the Petrushka scale), and the minor-home pairs: G minor with A minor, F minor, A♭, F♯ minor and B. Last, the three families: triad pairs, symmetrical scales (whole tone, augmented, Petrushka) and culture scales (the blues scales, and six-note ragas like Marwa, Puriya and Sriranjani). The flavour is in the missing note. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 📹 Everything for Life Bundle ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com ▶️ Related lessons & playlists Piano Workout: 2 Chords, All Inversions & Modal Hexatonic Scales ➡️ https://youtu.be/qakASBgKQ9U Piano Improvisation: 3 Ways to Use the Pentatonic Scale ➡️ https://youtu.be/p2JYPEZ7nLU How to Write a Melody on Piano Using the Pentatonic Scales ➡️ https://youtu.be/hE3I3I6bIpk Blues Scale Piano Workout: Major & Minor Blues Scales ➡️ https://youtu.be/p46g4HXjtj0 Whole Tone Scale Exercise ➡️ https://youtu.be/ljflwFHZSQM Subset Scales on Piano: Carnatic Raga Colours From Pentatonics ➡️ https://youtu.be/-ExjS5-fKog Piano Scales (playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9qErCYaKIjOhKDf2j8Q0uH Creative Scale Practice (playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT-p0MXCH5MeTmklqTeygKP2 🎓…https://www.youtube.com/embed/E_HFDZSFuZ0 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/piano-rhythm-exercises-34-left-hand-patterns-from-one-simple-rule2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/YBpzVIQpeQM/maxresdefault.jpgPiano Rhythm Exercises: 34 Left-Hand Patterns From One Simple RulePiano rhythm exercises for the left hand: three notes in every two beats, the first note always on beat 1 — and every rhythm pattern that one rule gives you. Piano lesson with Jason Zac of Nathaniel School of Music. The rule: your left hand plays three notes in two beats. Any three notes you like — C D E, a chord in spread position, a closed triad, a power chord. The first note always lands on beat 1; only the other two move. In 4/4, copy the first two beats into beats 3 and 4. Start with E♭ in the bass — root, 5th, octave (E♭ B♭ E♭) — and divide each beat by two: 1 & 2 &. Then try root, 5th and 9th (E♭ B♭ F). Divide the beat by four (1 e & a 2 e & a) and the tresillo turns up; move to F (F C G) for a sixteenth-note drill. Last, triplets (1 & a 2 & a): a whole new playground, and your right-hand tune may have to change with it. Count the options. Divide by 2 and there are 3 spaces for your two moving notes → 3 patterns. Divide by 3: 5 spaces → 10 patterns. Divide by 4: 7 spaces → 21 patterns. Play each one as a drill first, then put a nursery rhyme or a tune you know on top in the right hand, then improvise — and keep checking you can still play the plain drill. One rhythm can take a whole hour at the piano. That is normal. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 📹 Everything for Life Bundle ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com ▶️ Related lessons Practice Hit Points Over Multiple Time Divisions (Piano Rhythm & Groove) ➡️ https://youtu.be/DtE6en-4ndY 3-Hit Rhythm Patterns for ALL Time Signatures (Tresillo, Waltz, 5/8, 7/8 & 9/8) ➡️ https://youtu.be/9chHpik2Gc0 Piano Hand Independence and Rhythm: The Subdivision Exercise That Makes One Chord Groove ➡️ https://youtu.be/v2wMT78ZAlg The Tresillo: Pop's Most-Used Piano Rhythm, Explained ➡️ https://youtu.be/knJebrulzRI 5 Methods to Use and Feel Triplets in All Forms of Music ➡️ https://youtu.be/da7sghBHai0 Free rhythm practice apps ➡️ https://apps.nathanielschool.com…https://www.youtube.com/embed/YBpzVIQpeQM https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/upper-structure-chords-on-piano-every-7th-9th-69-from-one-trick2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/D2OejqduMPA/maxresdefault.jpgUpper Structure Chords on Piano: Every 7th, 9th & 6/9 From One TrickEvery seventh and ninth chord from one idea: keep the root in the left hand, go up a major or minor third, and play a triad or a seventh chord on top.

There are 24 piano chords, but they fall into just four hand shapes. The circle of fifths shows you which chords share a shape, so you learn them in groups instead of one at a time. In this lesson you go round the groups one by one: the all-white chords (C, F, G and their relative minors Dm, Am, Em), white-black-white (A, D, E and Cm, Fm, Gm), black-white-black (A♭, D♭, E♭ and C#m, F#m, G#m) and the six unique chords (F#, B, B♭ and E♭m, Bm, B♭m). Each group is played in root position first, with the root in the left hand and a rhythm of three short notes and one held note. Then every group again in first inversion (root on top) and second inversion (root in the middle), with the fingering I use for each shape. D and E in second inversion, for example, sit under the same hand. This is practice for your hands, not a theory talk. For the theory of the major and minor shapes, watch the lesson linked below first. Part 2 takes the same chords around the whole circle with arpeggios, the tresillo and the son clave. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 📹 Everything for Life Bundle ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com ▶️ Related lessons & playlists Circle of Fifths (playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT-FzWCgbLnhEXKrulYDxLQJ Learn ALL 12 Major & Minor Piano Chords (Triads) Using Intervals, Shapes & Theory ➡️ https://youtu.be/PAEz0Y82P1s How to Practice Chord Inversions Using the Circle of 5ths ➡️ https://youtu.be/VwgRQNBq2uU Make Chord Practice Fun With the Circle of Fifths (Part 1) ➡️ https://youtu.be/pu4mLLdZtYg 🎡 Free Fifth Harmony circle of fifths app (24 modes, including the piano mode) ➡️ https://circle-of-fifths.nathanielschool.com 🎓 https://nathanielschool.com 📚 Free tutorials library ➡️…https://www.youtube.com/embed/SOfunteeDXU https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/play-chords-and-melody-in-one-hand-passing-tones-on-piano2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/iqkSoCo34Ps/maxresdefault.jpgPlay Chords and Melody in One Hand: Passing Tones on PianoPlay the chord and the melody with one hand: hold a triad, move only the top note a step above or a half step below, and come home. Piano lesson with Jason Zac of Nathaniel School of Music. We start on G major. The top note of a chord is the one the ear follows, so it becomes the melody. Step above in the scale, or slip a half step below — the half step below is a leading tone and pulls you back in; the half step above borrows the flat 6 from G minor and changes the colour. Then every inversion, both neighbours together, what the left hand does, a real song (London Bridge), all seven chords of G major, and rhythm in quavers, triplets and semiquavers. 🌳 Chord Trees (free) — melodies over any chords, with neighbour, enclosure and chromatic-approach ideas ➡️ https://chord-trees.nathanielschool.com/melody 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 📹 Everything for Life Bundle ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com ▶️ Related lessons Play Melody AND Chords in ONE Hand ➡️ https://youtu.be/uPi_uX1Y8GM How to Write a Melody on Piano Using Chord Tones ➡️ https://youtu.be/M6iwapB1iuA Compose & Improvise Better Melodies Using Scale & Chord Tones ➡️ https://youtu.be/h2K0ZqkZViw Iconic Melodic Phrases on Piano Using Chord Inversions ➡️ https://youtu.be/ws36zlXGmJQ 🎓 https://nathanielschool.com 📚 Free tutorials library ➡️ https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Neighbour notes on one chord 00:27 Two jobs in one hand 01:00 The top note leads the melody 02:05 Upstairs and downstairs 03:35 G major and its three shapes 04:38 One step up: Pa Dha Pa 05:08 One step down, and the chromatic pull 06:19 First inversion: Sa Ni Sa 06:52 Second inversion 07:15 Both neighbours, with a groove 08:17 What the left hand does 08:47 Up and down in one figure 09:28 Real songs: London Bridge 09:47 Writing melodies that land on chord tones 10:23 Chord Trees: melodies over any chords 11:19 The seven chords of G major 12:28…https://www.youtube.com/embed/iqkSoCo34Ps2026-10-03T09:00:08-07:001108 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/ways-to-shift-chords-on-time-piano-inversion-practice2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/h2RSl5BVXMw/maxresdefault.jpgWays to Shift Chords on Time (Piano Inversion Practice)Piano inversion practice made musical: three drills to change any major or minor chord on time, with Jason Zac of Nathaniel School of Music. There are just 12 major and 12 minor chords. Master shifting between them with inversions and your creative brain is free for rhythm, melody and improvisation. In this lesson you learn three ways to shift chords — on time, and musically. Method 1 · The chord tree: take one note (F) and play the six major and minor chords that contain it — F, B♭, D♭, D minor, B♭ minor, F minor — with F on the bottom, in the middle and on top. Then go from four beats a chord to two, to one; sing the roots; hit and jump; and finally play with your eyes closed. Method 2 · Cadences: toggle 1 and 5 (the authentic, or perfect, cadence) and 1 and 4 (the plagal, or Amen, cadence) in C — major to major, major to minor, minor to minor and minor to major. Method 3 · Intervals: from C, go up an interval and back, then down the same interval and back — minor 2nd to major 7th, plus the tritone — keeping the notes the two chords share. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 📹 Everything for Life Bundle ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com ▶️ Related lessons & playlists Piano Chord Voicings & Inversions (playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC Learn All 72 Piano Chord Inversions With ONE Exercise ➡️ https://youtu.be/w1SwhiI__Mo Find Every Chord That Fits Any Melody Note ➡️ https://youtu.be/JDkJp2Y0n48 10 Rhythm Patterns That Make Chord Inversions Easy ➡️ https://youtu.be/DjPqzQqe_NY 🌳 Free Chord Trees app ➡️ https://chord-trees.nathanielschool.com 🎓 https://nathanielschool.com 📚 Free tutorials library — search "inversions" ➡️ https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Performance 00:11 Three ways to shift chords on time 02:27 Method 1: The chord tree — one note, six chords 04:43 F on the bottom — all six chords 07:03 F in the middle —…https://www.youtube.com/embed/h2RSl5BVXMw https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/how-to-play-dolly-partons-here-you-come-again-on-piano-slash-chords-made-easy-in-3-keys2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/BHRzK-rlBpo/maxresdefault.jpgHow to Play Dolly Parton's Here You Come Again on Piano - Slash Chords Made Easy, in 3 KeysLearn Dolly Parton's Here You Come Again on piano — the intro riff, the bass line, every chord, and both key changes, from F# to G to Ab. This sounds like a simple pop song. It isn't. Most of the chords are sevenths, ninths and elevenths, and the whole song goes up a semitone — twice. So if you want to learn 2-5-1 progressions, slash chords and modulation from one song, this is a good one. We start with the intro riff. Your right hand holds an F# major chord and the thumb walks down — F#, F, Eb. Underneath, the left hand plays octaves: F#, Ab, Bb, B. The Ab isn't a chord. It's just the step that gets you to the Bb. The verse uses the same chords without the passing notes, then moves to Ebm7 and Abm7 — with the 7th in the bass — and two climbs over C#. The chorus is a 2-5-1 in A: Bm7, D/E, Amaj7, then G/A, the gospel 11th. Look at Bm7 and D/E. Your right hand doesn't move a single finger. Only the bass steps from B to E. That's the slash-chord rule — what's on the left of the slash goes in your right hand, the note on the right goes in your left. So Bm7 is really just D major over B. Then the song goes up to G, and up again to Ab for the outro. Nothing new to learn — the same shapes, a semitone higher. The one thing to watch: in G, the chorus starts on C minor instead of B minor. And if the licks aren't coming yet, just play through the chords. Here You Come Again was written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, and recorded by Dolly Parton in 1977. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 📹 Everything for Life Bundle ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com 📺 RELATED LESSONS How to Play Slash Chords With Purpose on Piano (5 Pro Ways) ➡️ https://youtu.be/4LtOItbMiW0 Slash Chords vs Inversions on Piano ➡️ https://youtu.be/UhO-cWQLC-k Use SIMPLE Triads to Play COMPLEX Piano Chords: 7th Chords (Part 1) ➡️ https://youtu.be/1G6uZ0QRKN0 The 2-5-1 Jazz Piano Chord Progression Explained ➡️ https://youtu.be/SAOjr5ejxbs How to…https://www.youtube.com/embed/BHRzK-rlBpo2026-09-26T09:00:06-07:001055 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/tritone-substitution-explained-one-shape-two-dominant-chords2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ztb6hRmrcgI/maxresdefault.jpgTritone Substitution Explained: One Shape, Two Dominant ChordsTritone substitution explained on the piano: one two-note shell voicing plays two dominant seventh chords. Keep F♯ and C in your right hand, move only the bass from D to A♭, and D7 becomes A♭7 — the jazz chord substitution behind countless ii–V–I progressions. In this lesson you start with a ii–V–I in C and hear what happens when D♭7 takes the place of G7. Then you build the shell voicing on D7 — the root and 5th in the left hand, the 3rd and ♭7 in the right — and see why those two notes are a tritone apart, whichever way round you play them. That is the whole trick: keep the same shell, change the bass, and the 3rd and ♭7 simply swap jobs. You practise it with a Charleston rhythm (then displaced), learn why it works for dominant 7th chords, and walk through all six shapes that cover the twelve dominants — with a tip for bass players on using the tritone as an ornament. To finish, you play the ii–V–I in G with A♭7 in place of D7. 🎹 Practise the tritone sub free in the Jazz Harmony Lab: https://jazz.nathanielschool.com/#tritone-sub 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 📹 Everything for Life Bundle ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com ▶ Related lessons • Shell Voicings on Piano: Why C7 and F#7 Are the Same Two Keys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxnZBXL-1PA • Jazz Piano Chords: The Voicing Exercise That Teaches Every 7th Chord and Its Tritone Sub: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHLV3iA-56s • Reharmonize Hallelujah on Piano: Secondary Dominants & Tritone Subs (Part 3): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLWdZDcQugs • Beyond V–I: 8 Piano Cadences That Change How Music Ends: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9Zdkdxd_HY • Free practice apps: https://apps.nathanielschool.com 🎓 https://nathanielschool.com 📚 All 1000+ lessons ➡️ https://learning-portal.nathanielschool.com ⏱ CHAPTERS 00:00 - What is tritone substitution?

Keep the third and the flat seventh — the two notes that make it a dominant — and throw the root and the fifth away. Your left hand covers the root anyway, and as Jason puts it, the fifth "isn't adding that much unique harmonic flavour" in the right hand, so give it to the left and it widens the whole thing out. That pair is a shell voicing, and it is what blues and jazz pianists have always actually played. We start on C7 — E and B flat — and then take it to E for the rest of the lesson. E7 is D and G sharp. A7 is C sharp and G. B7 is D sharp and A. Every one of those is a tritone, and here is the part nobody tells you: a tritone is its own inversion. Turn a perfect fourth upside down and you get a fifth; turn a major third upside down and you get a minor sixth; turn a tritone upside down and you get another tritone. That is why 3–♭7 and ♭7–3 are the same shape, and why your hand barely moves all the way round a blues. Then the rhythm. The Charleston is two hits, swung, and there is a displaced version that starts late and lands on the three. Combine them — Jason's own preference is the displaced one first, then the normal one, which is everywhere in rock and roll. Left hand keeps a steady root and fifth underneath. And the gap the Charleston leaves is not empty space: it is where your solo goes. For the solo, two scales, and both are simpler than they sound. The major blues is just the major pentatonic with a flat third added. The minor blues is the minor pentatonic with the blue note. Then three licks: E B D E, the longer B D B B flat A G that fits over B7, A7 and E7 without changing a note, and the A–B flat–B turnaround — the four, the tritone and the five — that sends you round again. Finish with what Jason calls "some masala": slide…https://www.youtube.com/embed/95dQjPix-ms2026-09-17T09:00:10-07:001293 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/stop-playing-1-5-8-in-your-left-hand-do-this-instead-pop-piano2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/XWGhJMxhcE4/maxresdefault.jpgStop Playing 1-5-8 In Your Left Hand — Do This Instead (Pop Piano)Piano left hand patterns that actually sound modern — swap the root-5-octave for 9ths and 10ths, and put two cluster shapes in the right hand. Full play-along lesson in E flat major. There's an app with playback so you can keep practising long after the video is over — you don't need to come back to this video at all. When students send me demo or audition material for the intermediate courses at our school, the left hand is almost always the same thing: root, five, octave. It's a decent pattern. It grooves. But it adds no harmonic flavour, because you're still just playing one, five and one. So in this lesson we fix exactly that. The left hand moves to open 9th voicings — a perfect fifth, then another perfect fifth, with no third in it at all — on A flat, B flat and C minor. Then the chord you land on takes a 10th instead: G minor, or E flat major if you want a happier ending. In the right hand there are two shapes, and each one grows from three notes to four to five. Shape one is D, E flat, B flat. Shape two is F, B flat, D. Over an A flat chord those notes become the 13th, the 9th and the sharp 11 — which is where the colour comes from.

In this jazz piano tutorial we build the shell voicing for a dominant 7th chord, discover that those two notes are a tritone — so the same two keys give you TWO chords — and take the whole thing round the circle of fifths with the Charleston rhythm. Most of us learn chords the regular way — all four notes, every inversion. Here we do the opposite. A shell is a smaller set of notes: you keep the ones that matter and leave the rest out. For a dominant 7th that is the 3rd and the flat 7th. The bass player has the root, and the fifth does nothing. C7 is C E G Bb. Drop the C and the G and you are left with E and Bb — and those two notes are a tritone, the one interval that turns into itself when you flip it. So the same two keys are also the 3rd and the flat 7th of F#7. Twelve dominant 7th chords collapse into six tritone pairs, and we practise them as pairs, counter-clockwise round the circle of fifths, with the two shells 3–b7 and b7–3 sliding down chromatically while the left hand takes the roots. Then the groove. Once the shell is in your hand the tensions are one step away — b9, 9, #9, even a #5 — and you can play licks over it (you will hear where I stole one from). We put the Charleston rhythm on the shell, then the displaced Charleston, then both at once, and finish with a hand-independence ladder: the left hand holds the Charleston while the right climbs from semibreves to minims to crotchets to the 2 and the 4 — plus the cascade, and the snaps and claps that take your hands off the keys and teach you to come back in. Get your keyboard out and play along.

The right hand plays two notes and nothing else. The left hand takes the root and the fifth. That split is how most working pianists actually voice a 7th chord, and it leaves your right hand free to improvise. The progression is deliberately long: Am7, D7, Gmaj7, Cmaj7, F#m7b5, B7, Em7, E7 — a major 2-5-1 running straight into the relative minor's 2-5-1, then a secondary dominant to send you round again. Every chord falls a fifth, so one finger stays put and the other steps down a semitone or a tone. Play it twice and you will have played both arrangements of all eight chords — the complete shell vocabulary of the key — because the hand keeps descending into the other shape by itself. Then we add the things that make it music: singing the roots, the chord names and the shells; five rhythms including the Charleston and its displaced cousin; and tritone substitution, where the same right-hand shape serves two different dominants because the 7th of one is the 3rd of the other. 📘 STUDY GUIDE + PRACTICE APP The Companion has the whole exercise notated, the crown-note table, the five rhythm grids and a practice log for all twelve keys.

Explore pyramid sets with accent groupings and the challenging 'crunch' exercise in contrary motion. 🎹 🎹 Take one chord and build ten gym-style piano workouts around it. In this practical lesson we use a single E7 (dominant seventh) chord and turn it into a full technique session that transfers to any chord you like. First we break down the E7 shape — root, major third, fifth and flat seventh — with sensible fingering for both hands and all four positions: root, first, second and third inversion. Then we run the ten drills: the inversion ladder, the siren, piano jumping jacks, the horn throw, the dead hang, the speed bag, the rope climb, the pyramid set, the crunch and a cool-down stretch. Along the way you'll practise arpeggios against block chords, alternating two-note patterns, tritone swaps between the third and flat seventh, finger-by-finger lifts, speed work with a bouncing wrist, hand-crossing and accent groupings in twos, threes, fives and sevens. This is for pianists who can build chords but want them to feel musical and coordinated.

A triad gives you three notes; a scale needs seven. So the four notes you add are up to you — and that is where every scale comes from. In this lesson I build scales the unconventional way: not tone–tone–semitone, not from the modes, but from chords. One chord leaves four notes open to your imagination — D major alone gives you D major, D mixolydian, D lydian, D harmonic major, and it is also the dominant of G harmonic minor and G melodic minor. Two chords narrow it down to one or two notes: D major with G major gives you D major, D mixolydian, or G harmonic major if you make G the tonic; D major with G minor gives you the harmonic minors, melodic minors and harmonic majors; D major with B♭ major fits only one scale, and it is a beautiful one. Three chords and the scale is decided — D, G and B minor live in D major and in G major at the same time, and the functions simply swap. That is how chord charts work. You read chords and you interpret scales. You are not locked to a key signature — you let the chord, or the cadence, or the trio, dictate the scale. ✏️ Correction (05:45): I call the G minor triad “the fifth, or the dominant, of D Phrygian”. G is the FOURTH degree of D Phrygian (D E♭ F G A B♭ C) — the fifth is A — so G minor is the subdominant, the iv, of that scale. The very next sentence has it right: start from the chord and choose tonic, dominant or subdominant.

Piano chord inversions become automatic when you stop drilling them chord by chord and start anchoring one note. Here is the whole idea. There are 12 major chords and 12 minor chords — 24 chords, three positions each, so 72 shapes. Instead of learning them one at a time, take a single note like D and ask which triads contain it. A triad only has a root, a third and a fifth, so the answer is six chords: D is the root of D major and D minor, the fifth of G major and G minor, and the third of Bb major and B minor. Now keep D exactly where it is and play all six chords around it — first with D at the bottom, then on top, then in the middle. The note forces the right inversion on you every time, so you practise chord inversions without ever deciding which inversion to play. That is 18 shapes from one note. Put the roots in the left hand, try a carbon copy in both hands, run it in reverse, and sing the roots for ear training. Then the part that makes the whole thing finish: take the polar opposite of D — its tritone, Ab — and do the same six chords. Not one of them repeats. That is 36 of the 72 already, and from there every new anchor note repeats chords you own, so it gets exponentially faster. A week for the first 36, two days for the rest. This piano inversion practice is for players who know their basic chords but want inversions to feel natural in real music, not as an exercise. 🌳 Chord Trees - the free app I demo at 4:36.

I started my journey without really knowing how to read. I sang in a choir and figured it out along the way, then played in a cappella groups and rock bands where, for almost a decade, hardly anyone in the band was reading notation. So reading is an option, not a requirement, and it is not the same thing as music theory or ear training. But once you do read, there are five very different things you can do with the page, and most courses only ever teach you one of them. Sight reading is eyes to fingers: you read the page and play it, almost like reading a poem. The honest limit is that you can become a very good reader and still not know what the accidentals mean, where the music modulates, or what tension and resolution are about, because your ears sit the whole thing out. Rhythm reading takes pitch away and has you clap, count or say what is printed; read the son clave once and it is in your body for life. Chord charts are read, interpret, improvise: a Cm7♭5 is an invitation to a ii–V–I or a Locrian line, a C7♭5 points you at Lydian dominant, and the symbol itself should inspire you. Transcription runs the whole process in reverse, from sound to page, and it teaches you things no classroom, course or YouTube video can. And then the one I'd pick: sight singing. Read the notation and sing what you read. You don't have to be a trained singer; what you are training is your mind, your ears, your interval recognition and your compositional ability, and I think the only way to train your ear is to sing. We built a free app for exactly this, with the old Melodia exercises plus my own more rhythmic ones, standard sight singing patterns, a Jazz Lab where you sight sing chord charts, and a score for pitch and timing so you can keep improving. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️…https://www.youtube.com/embed/1rf11n1C3N42026-08-27T09:00:06-07:001586 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/10-piano-exercises-on-one-chord-e7-dominant-seventh-chords-explained2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/22fTJTAE9WI/maxresdefault.jpg10 Piano Exercises on ONE Chord (E7) — Dominant Seventh Chords ExplainedTen piano exercises, one chord, and nothing else.

In this lesson we build rhythms beat by beat — almost like binary arithmetic, zeros and ones — and show the Western notation equivalent for every pattern. We start at the top level: sound or silence in each slot of a bar. From there you'll see how note values get their shapes — the oval becomes a minim, shade it for a crotchet (quarter note), add a tail for a quaver — and how rests get their own symbols. The whole system runs on beat division: divide the beat by two, three or four. You'll work through simple one-beat cells, two-beat patterns with dotted notes, trivial and "groovy" triplets, swing feel, and sixteen sixteenth-note options. We also demo our web app, Rhythm Arithmetic — tap a cell to notate instantly, loop it, choose meters from 4/4 to 3/4, 5/4, 6/8, 7/8 and 5/8, merge phrases (ABBA, ABAC), and try famous patterns like son clave, rumba clave, Charleston and habanera. There's a rhythm dictation mode too, to test your ears.

One finger. That's the whole exercise. The left hand plays a single arpeggio — Low, High, Middle, High on E, B, G# and B — and never changes. It's the engine. Then the right hand does nothing but land single notes in the gaps: the "e" and the "a" of "1 e & a". That's it. No chord changes, no new shapes. The groove comes from WHERE you put the note, not how many you play. In this short version: the engine, targeting the e's, targeting the a's, walking the E major scale on those hit points, adding diatonic thirds underneath, then switching the whole thing into triplets and swing.

In this lesson Jason Zac shows you how to sit at the piano, where your wrist, elbow and shoulder actually belong, and the stretches that stop forearm and thumb pain before it starts. Speed with no control is worthless — on the road and at the piano. This lesson breaks down piano posture so you can play fast without pain, with more control and more musicality. We start with hand shape (a rounded, cupped palm like you're holding a ball — never a claw), wrist parallel to the keys, and the dining-table height test for setting your stool and keyboard stand. Then the core idea: a floating wrist spreads the load across the arm, while a fixed wrist dumps it all on the forearm. You'll see the wrist move up and down for block chords, circular for arpeggios, and the elbow sweep to cover a wide range without straining. We cover the forearm-power / wrist-control relationship, staccato by flicking the fingers, back and core strength, small-hand octave reach (the wrist buys about 1.5 inches), plus wrist rotations, thumb and shoulder stretches. This is for anyone whose hand hurts chasing speed, and for parents of young players. Before speed, tick the boxes: no pain, control, do I know the chord, musicality, accents, dynamics. Get your piano out, try it as you watch, and tell us your own stretches in the comments. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) - https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🏡 Visit our Channel for more Tutorials & Performances - https://geni.us/NathanielYouTube ============================= ▶️ Related Videos & Playlists 📂 Arpeggios - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT-BCpTe-KKSdiKlAFMvYNsH 📚 Chords with Dynamics - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT_hmM5DRkJLgp4BgGaKPSdY 🗂️ Play Great Songs on Piano -…https://www.youtube.com/embed/88GTNTQWPhM2026-08-15T09:00:06-07:001276 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/one-left-hand-pattern-both-blues-scales-blues-piano-tutorial2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/DNod4Pke5gE/maxresdefault.jpgOne Left Hand Pattern. Both Blues Scales. | Blues Piano TutorialLearn blues piano with Jason Zac — one left hand pattern, and both blues scales on top of it, in the key of B♭. The left hand runs a shuffle engine: root with its 5th, then root with its 6th — 1 5 1 6 — struck together, staccato, wrist bouncing like a trampoline. Add the ♭7 and it becomes 5 6 ♭7 6. That engine never stops while the right hand plays the B♭ major blues (1 2 ♭3 3 5 6) and the B♭ minor blues (1 ♭3 4 ♭5 5 ♭7), one octave and then two, in eighth notes and then triplets. Three notes live in both scales — B♭, D♭ and F. That's the door you improvise through. ▶️ Full lesson ➡️ https://youtu.be/p46g4HXjtj0 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 📹 Everything for Life Bundle ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com 🎛️ Free practice tools ➡️ https://apps.nathanielschool.com 🎓 https://nathanielschool.com 📚 All 1000+ lessons ➡️ https://learning-portal.nathanielschool.com 💛 https://geni.us/DonatePayPal 📸 https://instagram.com/jasonzac 💬 +91 77604 56847 · music@nathanielschool.com #PianoLessons #PianoTutorial #MusicTheory #BluesPianohttps://www.youtube.com/embed/DNod4Pke5gE2026-08-14T07:00:15-07:00125 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/carnatic-ragas-meet-western-chords-a-piano-tutorial2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/Zy1mL-UUSrw/maxresdefault.jpgCarnatic Ragas Meet Western Chords: A Piano TutorialLearn how to harmonize any Melakarta raga on piano with Jason Zac of Nathaniel School of Music — turn 72 ragas into playable chords. 🌐 The app in this video — Melakarta Sphere, all 72 ragas in 3D, free, no signup: https://melakarta.nathanielschool.com Ever wondered how to harmonize a raga on piano? This lesson shows how the 72 Melakarta ragas are built and how to turn each one into playable chords. We walk through the logic behind the system: Sa and Pa stay fixed, the perfect fifth is always kept, and you choose from three Re, three Ga, two Ma — Shuddha Madhyama (the perfect fourth) and Prati Madhyama (the augmented/sharp fourth) — three Dha and three Ni. That simple maths gives every heptatonic scale under the sun. You'll see the twelve chakras (Indu, Netra, Agni, Veda, Bana, Rutu, Rishi, Vasu, Brahma, Disi, Rudra, Aditya) and hear how ragas map to Western modes: Kharaharapriya against Dorian and the Kafi thaat, Hanumatodi leaning Phrygian, and Mayamalavagowla (the 15th Melakarta), also called the double harmonic major. We also touch Harikambhoji (Mixolydian) and Charukesi (Mixolydian flat 6), then harmonize each raga into triads and seventh chords, including cluster and augmented shapes. This is for pianists who only know major and minor, and for Carnatic musicians curious about Western harmony. Play along, pick a raga, build its chords, and tell us your favourite in the comments. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) - https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🏡 Visit our Channel for more Tutorials & Performances - https://geni.us/NathanielYouTube ============================= ▶️ Related Videos & Playlists 📂 Indian Music Theory - Carnatic Ragas - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT-EsBVRojlfDQ078y6R438k 📚 Indian Classical Music - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT-uvkwcbt1C4RbIJ8t1n3vm 🗂️ The Major Scale Understood with ALL Intervals -…https://www.youtube.com/embed/Zy1mL-UUSrw2026-08-13T09:00:07-07:001469 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/piano-hand-independence-and-rhythm-the-subdivision-exercise-that-makes-one-chord-groove2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/v2wMT78ZAlg/maxresdefault.jpgPiano Hand Independence and Rhythm: The Subdivision Exercise That Makes One Chord GroovePiano hand independence and rhythm, taught with one chord: keep a steady left-hand arpeggio going while your right hand plays the subdivisions in between. This is the coordination exercise I come back to constantly. 🎛️ All our free practice tools — chords, inversions, rhythm, notation and ear training, no signup: https://apps.nathanielschool.com 🥁 Keep the “1 e & a” grid honest while you drill this — our free Groove Metronome does subdivisions, swing and triplets: https://metronome.nathanielschool.com We spend the whole lesson on ONE chord — E major — and never change it. The left hand plays a single arpeggio shape, Low–High–Middle–High (E, B, G#, B), rolling in steady quavers. That hand never changes. It is the engine, and it does the same job a fingerstyle guitarist's thumb or a banjo roll does. Then we look at what happens in the gaps. Count semiquavers as "1 e & a" and your left hand is already covering the 1 and the &. So the question the whole lesson asks is: what do you play on the "e" and the "a"? The answer, for a long stretch, is one single note with your thumb. One finger is genuinely all you need — and it turns a static chord into a groove. From there we colour the chord (major 7th, flat 7, major 6th), change the time field into triplets (tha-ki-ta, three against two), drop the middle subdivision to get swing, and finally add diatonic thirds in the left hand so the harmony floats while a melody sits on the hit points. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) - https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🏡 Visit our Channel for more Tutorials & Performances - https://geni.us/NathanielYouTube ============================= ▶️ Related Videos & Playlists 📂 Folk Arpeggios - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT-cGUjDuor0KK4XtYSQWRMP 📚 Improvise over ONE chord - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9oizLJPiwwH_gvSH-IFu_V 🗂️ Arpeggios -…https://www.youtube.com/embed/v2wMT78ZAlg2026-08-08T09:00:07-07:00771 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/one-shape-12-bass-notes-massive-piano-chord-voicings-neo-soul-quartal-trick2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/QtxijYVbVxg/maxresdefault.jpgOne Shape, 12 Bass Notes – Massive Piano Chord Voicings (Neo-Soul Quartal Trick)Massive piano chord voicings from one shape: hold one right-hand shape and move 12 bass notes. One shape in your right hand. Twelve different chords. Your right hand never moves. This is the neo-soul voicing trick — hold a quartal shape (C-F-Bb) and walk the bass note through all twelve notes. The same three notes become a C7sus4, a Dbmaj13, a Gm11, an Ab6/9... twelve completely different chords with twelve different emotional colours, and you learned exactly one shape. Try it free — no signup: https://bassalchemy.nathanielschool.com We start with the quartal voicing — two stacked perfect fourths, C F Bb — the sound of McCoy Tyner, Herbie Hancock and modern neo-soul. Holding that shape and moving through all 12 bass notes gives you a C7sus4, a Dbmaj13, a Gm11, an Ab 6/9, an F/A add4 and more. Instead of stacking root-third-fifth, you form major ninth and minor eleventh chords from one simple shape. We also explore open-fifth shells and a minor-triad shell (F minor: F Ab C over shifting bass), plus suspended, diminished, augmented, tritone-cluster and seventh-shell shapes. Then we use it all as an ear-training drill — one voicing, 12 bass notes, guess what you hear. This is for pianists and composers who find complex chord names intimidating, and for newcomers who want to build harmony from one shape and add melody on top. Try each voicing, then comment with the bass note you liked best. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) - https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🏡 Visit our Channel for more Tutorials & Performances - https://geni.us/NathanielYouTube ============================= ▶️ Related Videos & Playlists 📂 Bass Lines on Piano - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT_bA-24IkQ31GFjbWaN5qf8 📚 Ear Training - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT-GHvpugWvYgEuLAL4f01ZK 🗂️ Chord Voicing & Inversions -…https://www.youtube.com/embed/QtxijYVbVxg2026-08-06T09:00:07-07:00862 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/blues-scale-piano-workout-major-minor-blues-scales2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/p46g4HXjtj0/maxresdefault.jpgBlues Scale Piano Workout: Major & Minor Blues ScalesLearn the blues scale on piano with Jason Zac of Nathaniel School of Music — major and minor blues plus a 12 bar two-hand workout in Bb. Learn the blues scale on piano the practical way — a two-hand workout built entirely around the major blues and minor blues. Both are hexatonic (six-note) scales, and we form them step by step in the key of Bb. We start from the major and natural minor, strip the tritone to get the pentatonic, then add the blue note to make it bluesy. For the major blues you add the flat 3 to the major third; for the minor blues you add the tritone (E) from the root. We cover fingering, why Bb suits blues and horn players, and how to blend both scales for improvisation. The left hand learns the bouncy 1-5-1-6 shuffle engine, its flat-7 variation and how to run it over the 12 bar blues in a loose, staccato swing. We break down wrist and forearm technique so the left hand plays on autopilot. The right hand runs the scales one and two octaves, up and down, in swing and full triplet feels — with accents on the 2 and 4. Great for pianists who know major and minor scales and want to actually sound bluesy for jamming, composing or backing singers. Try it slowly with a shuffle backing track, then tell us in the comments if you'd like more blues lessons.

Climb the G major scale in thirds and sharpen your semiquaver rhythm feel. The exercise uses G major and G harmonic minor, where the augmented second gives the harmonic minor its wider leap, and works on both closed thirds and spread thirds. The rhythm patterns use 16th notes, dotted notes, tied notes and rests in 4/4, with one rhythm figure for descending thirds and another for ascending thirds, starting from different scale degrees each time. For the left hand there are three options: hold the pulse on the starting note, mirror the right hand in thirds, or play the scale notes underneath the right-hand thirds.https://www.youtube.com/embed/BfNt89fpVZo2026-07-31T07:00:13-07:0065 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/find-every-chord-that-fits-any-melody-note2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/JDkJp2Y0n48/maxresdefault.jpgFind Every Chord That Fits Any Melody NoteLearn how to harmonize any melody note on piano with Jason Zac of Nathaniel School of Music using the Chord Trees concept and app. Ever wondered what chords actually fit a melody note? This lesson introduces Chord Trees — a simple way to start from one note and find every chord that can harmonize it. Try the new free app here: https://chord-trees.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 We begin with a single note like C and branch out to all the triads that contain it — C major and C minor (root), A minor and Ab major (C as the third), and F major and F minor (C as the perfect fifth). From there we look at how melodies land on important notes, using "Hey Jude" by the Beatles as an example. Then we open up the options: diatonic pop harmony, seventh chords, extended and borrowed chords, secondary dominants and tritone substitutions, plus fully chromatic progressions that respect voice leading, cadences, tension and resolution. We compare random harmonization, smart diatonic harmonize, and modal choices like Ionian, Aeolian, Mixolydian and Locrian — and even those outworldly cinematic chords a composer like Hans Zimmer might use. This is for pianists, guitarists, singers and producers who want to move past the same old progressions and understand how melody and chords find each other.

Learn how the diminished 7th chord hides dominant 7♭9 chords, tritone subs, and two powerful resolutions. Comment 'diminished' for a free practice tool! 🛠 FREE PRACTICE TOOL - Master Key, the Diminished Seventh Laboratory. Every diminished 7th, all four resolutions, in the browser. No signup, no subscription: https://masterkey.nathanielschool.com The diminished 7th chord is arguably the most powerful chord in music — one shape with endless resolutions. In this piano tutorial we break down its theory and turn it into two practical drills you can play today. We start with the formation: a diminished 7th is minor thirds stacked on top of each other, so every inversion is another diminished 7th. That means only three of them exist across all 12 keys — B/D/F/Ab are one family, and you move up chromatically for the rest. We also separate it from the minor seventh flat five (the ii chord in a 2-5-1 minor). Then we explore the leading-tone diminished cadence: B diminished 7th resolving to C major and to A minor (its relative minor), giving you many destinations from one source. You'll see how the same shape works as a rootless dominant, turning into E7♭9, Bb7♭9, G7♭9 and Db7♭9 — four chords from one diminished 7th. Drill one climbs up (dominant 7 → diminished 7 → major or minor); drill two climbs down (diminished 7 → dominant 7 → resolution). Ideal for pianists who know major and minor chords and want a versatile harmonic tool. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) - https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🏡 Visit our Channel for more Tutorials & Performances - https://geni.us/NathanielYouTube ============================= ▶️ Related Videos & Playlists 📂 Cadences & Chord Progressions - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT_sKjWd1c7K_S55cZ15jAKI 📚 Mysterious Chord Connections -…https://www.youtube.com/embed/ROggYvwUps82026-08-07T07:00:36-07:00176 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/13-ways-to-end-a-song-twinkle-twinkle-cadences2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/Y-xc2t1Z9_4/maxresdefault.jpg🎼 13 Ways To End A Song (Twinkle Twinkle Cadences!)Ever wonder how composers make an ending feel epic, jazzy, or cinematic? We break down authentic, plagal, mixolydian, backdoor, and tritone sub cadences using Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. This is Part 2 of our Thirds Exercise series — comment CADENCE if you want the app with every cadence in every key. Cadences are how music ends a phrase with intention, and in this practical lesson we harmonise one familiar tune — Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in Ab major — with almost every cadence you'll ever use. This is pure piano application, not just theory on paper. We start with the authentic cadence (V-I), then strengthen it using a dominant 7th for that 4-to-3 resolution. Next comes the plagal or Amen cadence (IV-I) heard in church hymns, the darker minor plagal cadence that borrows from Mixolydian b6 (also called the Charukesi scale/raga), and the stacked major-four-then-minor-four ending loved in cinematic writing and pop ballads. From there we build three- and four-chord cadences: the IV-V-I gospel ending, the gospel 7sus4 (double) suspension, the double dominant or Mixolydian cadence using a secondary dominant (think Elton John and the Beatles), and the diatonic jazz ii-V-I tried on Happy Birthday. This is for pianists and composers who want their endings to sound deliberate across pop, gospel, jazz and film.

This is Part 2 of the cadence series, where we move past the traditional cadences into resolutions that actually alter the sound of the scale and still bring you home peacefully. If you already know your authentic, plagal and 2-5-1 cadences, this is where things get colourful. We start with the leading-tone diminished cadence — a diminished 7th built on the major seventh degree that resolves to the tonic major, or deceptively to the relative minor (the 6 minor / da). Then we soften it with the leading-tone half-diminished, extend the jazz 2-5-1 into the 6-2-5-1 turnaround, and explore the mixolydian cadence down a tone for that R&B, soul and Michael Jackson colour. From there we play the backdoor cadence (bVII7 → I) heard in rock, grunge and gospel, the tritone substitution sliding chromatically into the tonic, the minor dominant for a Dorian feel, and the Neapolitan cadence Beethoven loved. We close with the "epic" bVI–bVII–I climb from film and video-game endings. This is for pianists who want to stop resolving 5-1 every time and hear how each cadence feels against a melody. Play along, train your ear, and tell us in the comments which one surprised you most. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 🎹 Learn Cadences in one place - https://cadence.nathanielschool.com/ ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) - https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🏡 Visit our Channel for more Tutorials & Performances - https://geni.us/NathanielYouTube ============================= ▶️ Related Videos & Playlists 📂 Cadences & Chord Progressions - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT_sKjWd1c7K_S55cZ15jAKI 📚 Jazz Lessons - Chords, Standards & Exercises - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ZCriHyNonJasffWWSCS_E 🗂️ Ear Training -…https://www.youtube.com/embed/t9Zdkdxd_HY2026-07-25T09:00:06-07:00735 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/triads-in-motion-the-scale-drill-every-pianist-needs2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/h9y7OCNPFQ8/maxresdefault.jpg🎹 Triads In Motion: The Scale Drill Every Pianist NeedsTurn your boring scale practice into a full workout — triads ascending and descending in F major and F harmonic minor, with speed and rhythm variations. Watch till the end for the thirds pattern on G major. Follow @NathanielSchoolOfMusic for more piano drills! Welcome to Part 2 of our triad workout! In Part 1 we formed the triads of the F major and F harmonic minor scales along with their first and second inversions, ascending and descending. Now we take those same shapes and make them musical by focusing entirely on rhythm. We start by revising one chord every two counts, then explore rhythmic anticipation — playing chords on the off-beats instead of the predictable 1, 2, 3, 4. You'll learn to displace chords to the "and" of beats, shift the chord itself on off-beats, and combine block chords with arpeggios and broken chords for variety. From there we move into quaver (eighth note) scale drills, add a swing feel, and tackle popular rhythm patterns like the tresillo, the clave and the 3-3-2 grouping. We also gamify the exercise across time signatures, starting at 8 beats per chord and shrinking down to 7, 6, 5, 4 and 3 — pushing you to change chords faster while staying in the groove. Your left hand gets a workout too: single octaves, perfect fifths (with the diminished fifth on the leading tone), broken chords, and cascading two-hand patterns. We even show how to borrow a song's rhythm to keep your practice fun and creative. Underneath all the groove, you're really drilling root position, first inversion, second inversion and even spread voicings. If you found this piano tutorial useful, do watch Part 1 and our related music lessons linked in the description.

Play along in Ab, sing the bass roots as we do, and tell us in the comments which cadence surprised you most. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 🎹 Learn Cadences in one place - https://cadence.nathanielschool.com/ ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) - https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🏡 Visit our Channel for more Tutorials & Performances - https://geni.us/NathanielYouTube ============================= ▶️ Related Videos & Playlists 📂 Cadences & Chord Progressions - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT_sKjWd1c7K_S55cZ15jAKI 📚 Jazz Lessons - Chords, Standards & Exercises - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ZCriHyNonJasffWWSCS_E 🗂️ Sweet Chords - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT-C4gmfMXJi6nHcKPL3acYy 📋 Indian Music Theory -…https://www.youtube.com/embed/NM3mP3zryFk2026-07-23T08:30:06-07:00863 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/3-left-hand-patterns-to-play-any-song-on-piano2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/T2De0hUa62o/maxresdefault.jpg🎹 3 Left Hand Patterns To Play ANY Song On PianoLearn 3 go-to left hand rhythm patterns - umpah, arpeggio, and power chord - that unlock almost any song on piano.

The diminished 7th chord is arguably the most powerful chord in music — one shape with endless resolutions. In this piano tutorial we break down its theory and turn it into two practical drills you can play today. We start with the formation: a diminished 7th is minor thirds stacked on top of each other, so every inversion is another diminished 7th. That means only three of them exist across all 12 keys — B/D/F/Ab are one family, and you move up chromatically for the rest. We also separate it from the minor seventh flat five (the ii chord in a 2-5-1 minor). Then we explore the leading-tone diminished cadence: B diminished 7th resolving to C major and to A minor (its relative minor), giving you many destinations from one source. You'll see how the same shape works as a rootless dominant, turning into E7♭9, Bb7♭9, G7♭9 and Db7♭9 — four chords from one diminished 7th. Drill one climbs up (dominant 7 → diminished 7 → major or minor); drill two climbs down (diminished 7 → dominant 7 → resolution). Ideal for pianists who know major and minor chords and want a versatile harmonic tool. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) - https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🏡 Visit our Channel for more Tutorials & Performances - https://geni.us/NathanielYouTube ============================= ▶️ Related Videos & Playlists 📂 Cadences & Chord Progressions - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT_sKjWd1c7K_S55cZ15jAKI 📚 Mysterious Chord Connections - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9bd7fnB4zMsgobcFj52N31 🗂️ Jazz Lessons - Chords, Standards & Exercises - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ZCriHyNonJasffWWSCS_E 📋 Chord Voicing & Inversions - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 🎶 My Favourite…https://www.youtube.com/embed/fBEg4pIgGY02026-07-18T08:30:06-07:00791 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/mayamalavagowla-scale-unlocks-a-whole-new-sound-world2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/CgM07IgaKVo/maxresdefault.jpgMayamalavagowla Scale Unlocks a Whole New Sound WorldLearn the double harmonic major scale (Mayamalavagowla, the 15th Melakarta raga) on piano Learn the double harmonic major scale (Mayamalavagowla, the 15th Melakarta raga) on piano with Jason Zac of Nathaniel School of Music. If you normally practise only major, minor and harmonic minor scales up and down, this lesson opens a whole new sound world. Around the world this same scale has many names, and we use them all: the double harmonic major (so called because it has TWO augmented seconds, unlike the harmonic minor which has one), Bhairav thaat in Hindustani music, and the Byzantine or gypsy major scale. These alternate names are exactly what students search for. You'll play the raga one octave up and back with correct fingering (three fingers, then a cross-over), hold the Sa like a tanpura in the left hand, and try the "one extra" swara drill to reframe a 7-note scale into a comfortable 4/4 feel. We add accents to train the weaker fingers and imagine a drum groove to build musicality. Then we harmonize the raga — the real fun for pianists and guitarists. Building in thirds gives the triads: G major, A♭ major, B minor, C minor, D major ♭5, E♭ augmented (also G augmented, also B augmented), and the F# cluster chord. We extend these into seventh chords, including G major 7, A♭ major 7, B minor 7, the beautiful C minor-major 7th, the D7♭5 dominant, the E♭ major 7 ♯5 (a proper James Bond chord), and the F# cluster acting as a dominant. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) - https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🏡 Visit our Channel for more Tutorials & Performances - https://geni.us/NathanielYouTube ============================= ▶️ Related Videos & Playlists 🎬 Carnatic Swaras & Piano Finger Exercise - https://youtu.be/zO6s41NHYjI 🎯 Scales vs Keys vs Modes vs Ragas - Music Theory 🎼 - https://youtu.be/nzBEfnHCiA4 🔑 Fusion Piano: Indian Pentatonic Scale -…https://www.youtube.com/embed/CgM07IgaKVo2026-07-16T08:15:06-07:001571 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/3-go-to-left-hand-piano-patterns-every-player-needs2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/25MfO0T9Eic/maxresdefault.jpg3 Go-To Left-Hand Piano Patterns Every Player NeedsLearn 3 go-to left-hand piano rhythm patterns — umpah, arpeggio and power chords — that work across ballads, rock and pop genres. 🎼 Is your left hand the weakest part of your playing? In this piano tutorial, Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music breaks down three go-to left-hand rhythm patterns that hold their ground across ballads, old-school pop, rock and heavier music. We start with the umpah (or accordion) pattern — taking a chord like D minor and moving between the root and fifth. You'll learn the crucial staccato-legato articulation, how to modify it for beat three and four, and how to shift the bass for a more modern feel. Next up are arpeggios, one of the most useful accompaniment techniques for a huge variety of music. Jason demonstrates the basic four-note shape, how to add octaves for a more advanced sound, and why dynamic swells and volume control are essential. You'll also see how to handle seventh chords and slash chords like C over E. The final pattern is the power chord — root, fifth and octave played powerfully in the left-hand zone. From four-on-the-floor to driving eighth-note accents and snare-hit patterns on beats two and four, these ideas will fuel any rock song. We also touch on floating fifths and breaking up the pattern for variation. Throughout the lesson you'll pick up practical advice on transposing these patterns into any key, using proper wrist and forearm technique to play fast without pain, and trusting your left hand so you can focus on the music. This lesson is aimed at beginner-intermediate players and upward.

In Part 1 we formed the triads of the F major and F harmonic minor scales along with their first and second inversions, ascending and descending. Now we take those same shapes and make them musical by focusing entirely on rhythm. We start by revising one chord every two counts, then explore rhythmic anticipation — playing chords on the off-beats instead of the predictable 1, 2, 3, 4. You'll learn to displace chords to the "and" of beats, shift the chord itself on off-beats, and combine block chords with arpeggios and broken chords for variety. From there we move into quaver (eighth note) scale drills, add a swing feel, and tackle popular rhythm patterns like the tresillo, the clave and the 3-3-2 grouping. We also gamify the exercise across time signatures, starting at 8 beats per chord and shrinking down to 7, 6, 5, 4 and 3 — pushing you to change chords faster while staying in the groove. Your left hand gets a workout too: single octaves, perfect fifths (with the diminished fifth on the leading tone), broken chords, and cascading two-hand patterns. We even show how to borrow a song's rhythm to keep your practice fun and creative. Underneath all the groove, you're really drilling root position, first inversion, second inversion and even spread voicings.

In this theory lesson, Jason Zac introduces a simple binary framework to organise 16 different scales into just two categories — major-esque and minor-esque — based on a single defining interval: the third. A major-esque scale always contains a major third, while a minor-esque scale always contains a flat (minor) third. From this foundation, we explore eight major-esque scales including the major scale, mixolydian, lydian, lydian dominant, harmonic major, phrygian dominant (double harmonic major), and mixolydian flat 6. Each scale is built on the root A, played with supporting chord voicings, and connected to its emotional character. We then move into eight minor-esque scales: the natural minor, dorian, harmonic minor, jazz melodic minor, plus the more exotic Hungarian minor, Romanian minor, Neapolitan minor, and phrygian. You'll learn how the 6th and 7th degrees create four binary combinations within the traditional minor family, and how exotic scales introduce flat 2 and raised 4 intervals for that Eastern, Spanish, or Middle Eastern flavour. This lesson is especially valuable for composers working with Indian classical ragas, modal music, or any style where the 6th or 7th shifts between ascending and descending lines. Jason also shares ear training drills using sa-re-ga-ma syllables, pendulum-style interval singing, and chord pairings that lock each scale into your ear and fingers.https://www.youtube.com/embed/_DbME-fKHiI2026-07-07T07:00:38-07:0096 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/every-chord-formula-every-inversion-every-speed-level-one-workout2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/FyB9Xo7i2XY/maxresdefault.jpgEvery Chord Formula, Every Inversion, Every Speed Level — One WorkoutLearn to play every triad and inversion of F Major and F Harmonic Minor with block chords, spread shapes and speed drills. In this comprehensive piano lesson, Jason Zac walks you through every triad and inversion of F Major and F Harmonic Minor. If you've been running scales note-by-note, this is the workout that will shift your thinking into chord shapes across the keyboard. We start by harmonizing both scales — building all 7 diatonic triads. In F Major you'll get the familiar 1-4-5 major, 2-3-6 minor and 7 diminished pattern. In F Harmonic Minor we tackle the trickier chord formula: minor 1 and 4, diminished 2 and 7, major 5 and 6, and the augmented ♭3 chord. We also break down the augmented 2nd interval between the ♭6 and 7. Next, we drill root position, first inversion and second inversion as block chords — ascending and descending. Then we ramp up the speed: one chord per bar, then every two beats, then every single beat. This is where real chord fluency is built. We also explore spread shapes (open-voiced triads) — reading the chord tones in a circular pattern to unlock new voicings. Along the way, Jason encourages singing the chord tones to train your ear alongside your fingers. This piano tutorial covers music theory, chord progressions, inversions, ear training and practical piano exercises all in one focused session. Hit subscribe for Part 2, where we take these same triads into creative rhythmic patterns, arpeggios and groove-based movements. 🎹 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) - https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🏡 Visit our Channel for more Tutorials & Performances - https://geni.us/NathanielYouTube ============================= ▶️ Related Videos & Playlists 🎬 All Major & Minor Piano Chord Triads - https://youtu.be/PAEz0Y82P1s 🎯 Major Scales with Chords - Piano Exercise - https://youtu.be/lCcPEuF0X48 🔑 Major Scales with Chords - Piano Exercise -…https://www.youtube.com/embed/FyB9Xo7i2XY2026-07-05T07:45:06-07:001340 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/major-esque-scales-you-need-to-know-part-2-nsm-bangalore2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/9aKo3JsXkMo/maxresdefault.jpg🎹 Major-Esque Scales You NEED To Know (Part 2) | NSM BangaloreEver wondered why some scales sound bright while others sound dark?

In this piano lesson, Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music walks you through a comprehensive exercise on thirds using two essential scales — G major and G harmonic minor. This is a scale-practice drill with a twist: unique rhythm patterns built into every ascent and descent. You'll learn how thirds are formed by writing scales in a circle and skipping notes, plus how the augmented second interval in the harmonic minor creates that signature three-step leap. We break down both closed thirds and spread thirds, giving intermediate pianists a real technical workout. The rhythm patterns include 16th notes, dotted notes, tied notes, and rests — organised in a 4/4 pulse. You'll practise descending thirds with one rhythm figure and ascending thirds with another, starting from different scale degrees each time. This retrains your brain to think of scales beyond just root-to-root, which is essential for improvisation and sight reading. We also cover three different left-hand approaches: holding the pulse on the starting note, mirroring the right hand with carbon-copy thirds, or playing linear scale notes underneath the thirds in the right hand. For advanced players, Jason introduces spread third voicings that produce beautiful triad harmonisations across both hands. Practise minimum three scales a week, count out loud, move your body with the pulse, and enjoy building real technical fluency at the piano. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) - https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🏡 Visit our Channel for more Tutorials & Performances - https://geni.us/NathanielYouTube ============================= ▶️ Related Videos & Playlists 🎬 Major Esque vs Minor Esque — 8 Scales Explained (Part 1) - https://youtu.be/bmy_bXpE900 🎯 Major-Esque Scales You NEED To Know (Part 2)…https://www.youtube.com/embed/e_gyu7219H02026-07-02T09:00:06-07:001247 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/16-scales-simplified-into-2-categories-heres-how2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/M88ABjQn0Lo/maxresdefault.jpg16 Scales Simplified Into 2 Categories (Here's How)Learn how to group 16 piano scales into major-esque and minor-esque categories using the third interval.

In this piano harmony lesson, Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music breaks down a powerful reharmonization technique — toggling between major chords and their relative minors. It's an age-old trick that instantly transforms the mood of any chord progression. We work through an 8-chord progression using second inversion voicings, starting from C major and travelling through D, Bb, Am, Ab, Bb, and back to a Csus4 → C resolution. Along the way, Jason adds a flowing melodic motif that ties the harmony together and teaches you how to use chord inversions musically. The lesson also explores suspended chords (sus4) and how they resolve beautifully to both major AND minor tonic chords. You'll learn multiple cadence options — plagal (IV-I), authentic (V-I), and surprise endings using the mediant (bIII). Plus, we touch on key modulation by treating the tonic as the dominant of the next key — a simple but incredibly useful pivot technique. The core concept: any chord in your progression can be swapped with its relative minor (or relative major) to create a fresh emotional colour. C major ↔ A minor, D major ↔ B minor, Bb major ↔ G minor, Ab major ↔ F minor. Once you internalize these relationships, you can reharmonize on the fly using your ear.

It's a modular 88-key controller that clicks together magnetically, fits inside a small carry case, and connects via USB-C MIDI. I test the latency with Pianoteq, try out the onboard piano, electric piano, clavinet, and pad sounds, and even pair the Bluetooth pedal straight out of the box. Throughout the demo I compare the feel to my Roland RD88 and Yamaha CK88, talk about the build quality, and discuss real-world use cases — from touring musicians flying between cities to online piano teachers who need a lightweight setup. I also share the practical challenges of importing this product to India and dealing with customs. This isn't a sponsored review — just an honest first impression of a product I've been waiting months for. Whether you're a gigging keyboardist, a music teacher, or a gear nerd curious about the future of portable MIDI controllers, this video will help you decide if the Pocket Piano V2 belongs in your bag.

In this lesson, Jason Zac takes inspiration from Bobby McFerrin's legendary Ave Maria performance to turn this beloved arpeggio study into the ultimate ear training workout. Rather than just reading and playing the notation, you'll learn to collapse each arpeggiated bar into a stacked chord, identify the harmony (D minor 7, G7, F major 7, and that mysterious diminished voicing nobody can name), and then sing each note back. This trains your intervals, voice leading awareness, register switching, and chord recognition all at once. This approach works for pianists, singers, and any music student who wants to genuinely HEAR what they're playing. We cover sight-singing technique, transcription thinking, harmonic analysis, and how to use Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier as a serious ear training resource — not just a piano study book. Throughout the lesson, Jason demonstrates how to use the piano as a reference, find the lowest or highest note first, name notes as scale degrees (1-2-3-4-5), and gradually move away from the instrument so your voice becomes the piano. You'll also explore voice leading between chords — like how F resolves down to E and E down to E♭ in parallel motion.

Learn every essential 7th chord on the piano in one focused workout! In this lesson, Jason Zac walks you through major 7, minor 7, dominant 7, minor 7 flat 5, and diminished 7 chords using the 2-5-1 progression in D major. You'll work through three powerful articulations — cascade, legato, and staccato — designed to bring real expression and control to your chord playing. These drills are essential for anyone who wants their voicings to sound smooth, intentional, and professional. We also break down all four inversions of each chord with a focus on smooth voice leading. You'll learn how to identify common tones, shift efficiently between chords, and stop making awkward jumps across the keyboard. This approach makes your chord changes effortless in both hands. The lesson then moves into the minor 2-5-1 progression in E harmonic minor, introducing the half-diminished chord, minor-major 7, and minor 6 voicings. These are essential colours for jazz, ballad, and modern piano playing. Whether you're an intermediate pianist learning jazz harmony, a self-taught player working on chord theory, or a student building your improvisation vocabulary — this is a workout you'll return to again and again.

In this piano lesson, Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music walks you through a focused articulation workout using thirds and sixths across major and harmonic minor scales. If you've been struggling with uneven parallel intervals, this exercise will tighten up your finger control and coordination. We start by mapping out the third intervals in A major — visualising every white-black, black-white and white-white combination on the keys. Then we work through four articulation styles: pure legato, pure staccato, legato-staccato pairs, and staccato-legato pairs. Each one trains a different muscle and a different listening skill. Next we shift to E♭ major to challenge your fingering on a flat-key scale, and then dive into the harmonic minor versions of both keys. The augmented 2nd interval in harmonic minor makes the thirds noticeably trickier — exactly why it's such a valuable practice tool. Finally, we explore sixth intervals as inverted thirds and finish with a two-hand harmonisation exercise where the left hand harmonises the right hand in sixths, giving you real harmonic awareness while practising technique. Throughout the lesson we focus on steady time, dynamics, and smooth voice-leading.

(A Song With NO Piano in It)Learn piano, theory, and ear training through Uptown Funk — D Dorian, 7th chord inversions, voice leading & 4 funky comping patterns. What if you could learn piano, music theory, ear training, AND arranging — all from one song? In this lesson, Jason Zac uses Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars as a vehicle for all four goals at once. The twist? There's no piano in the song. We start by identifying the mode (D Dorian) and the two chords driving the whole track: D minor 7th and G dominant 7th. You'll learn minors in packs of four — Natural, Harmonic, Dorian and Melodic — so you'll instantly recognise the funky minor sound anywhere. Then we get into the piano work: all four inversions of Dm7 and G7, voice leading through common tones, and rhythm patterns including block chords, octave toggling bass, staccato funk articulation, and triplet (tresio) feels. Every shape connects to a usable groove. Next comes the song ingredient breakdown — vocal bass line on a 16th-note grid, Bruno Mars's vocal as the rhythmic engine, plus guitar comping, horn harmonies and the bass guitar. You'll learn to reverse-engineer a stereo file like a DAW, then translate those ingredients into FOUR funky right-hand piano patterns paired with a transcribed bass line. Ready to practise smarter?

Ever written a melody that sounds great for two seconds — and then you realise you've been repeating the same motif for the entire verse? You're stuck in a melody trap, and in this lesson Jason walks you through 6 mental techniques to break out of it. This is a rant-style talking lesson — no keyboards required. Jason explains why your initial melody is just a seed (a motif), and why your job as an artist is to grow it. You'll learn the Mumble Technique — stripping away the lyrics and scatting to expose what the melody is actually doing rhythmically and harmonically. We break down what makes great melodies timeless using real examples: the octave leap in Somewhere Over the Rainbow, the chord-tone alignment in The Beatles' Hey Jude, the call-and-response structure in nursery rhymes like London Bridge, and the rhythmic genius of modern writers like Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran. There's also a lovely detour into how Michael Jackson would literally sing the guitar part. Then Jason shows you how to stress-test your own melody — can you notate it? How many chords does it force you to use? Are you stuck on the root, or can you modulate? Plus the final reality check: play it for non-musicians and see if they latch on to the pulse, the tension, the ebb and flow. If you're a songwriter, lyric writer, producer, or instrumentalist who keeps falling into the same melodic loops, this lesson will give you the mental tools to escape.

Jason from Nathaniel School of Music breaks down London Bridge in E major and E♭ major — with 5 right-hand comping patterns from block chords to syncopated pop groove. What if the LEFT hand played the melody and the right hand had to comp? In this lesson Jason flips the traditional roles of the two hands and walks you through London Bridge is Falling Down with the melody entirely in the left hand. The right hand isn't chilling out either — you'll work through 5 distinct rhythmic patterns: block fifth chords pumping the pulse, broken chords, a spinning arpeggio figure, a five-finger scalar run, and a syncopated pop groove. Each pattern targets a different layer of hand independence and forces you to hold the melody steady while your right hand stays in motion. We cover the whole workout in two keys — E major and E♭ major — with detailed fingering tips, dotted rhythm corrections, and sargam references for those who think in solfege. The pop groove is the trickiest of the five, so we slow it right down and build it from the ground up. For intermediate players, we then spice up the left-hand melody with 16th-note ornaments, grace notes, trills and small arpeggio fills. We also harmonise the melody by adding an alto voice in thirds underneath the soprano line — with a few moments where a perfect fifth sounds better than a third.https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZNtwZMiDwfk2026-05-29T07:00:21-07:00157 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/build-real-hand-independence-left-hand-melody-on-piano2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/qkrd1SJfL8Q/maxresdefault.jpgBuild Real Hand Independence: Left Hand Melody on PianoLearn London Bridge with the melody in your LEFT HAND plus 5 right-hand patterns in E major and E♭ major — piano independence workout.

We cycle through all 12 bass notes underneath it and hear what each one sounds like, from stable triads to Lydian and Phrygian colours and chromatic passing tones. Bass notes that clash can still work when you thicken the harmony or play arpeggios instead of block chords.https://www.youtube.com/embed/3ild7n3brbw2026-05-26T07:00:17-07:00172 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/stop-memorizing-chords-use-this-2-note-trick-instead2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/RFAjKqZYhtM/maxresdefault.jpgStop Memorizing Chords: Use This 2-Note Trick InsteadMaster harmony with this incredibly simple trick: play just 1 third interval in the right hand and 12 bass notes in the left to unlock almost every chord you will ever need on the piano. In this lesson, Jason Zac breaks down the theory and shows you how to apply it across all styles. Ever wondered how pro pianists build those rich, jazzy voicings that sound so much more interesting than basic triads? It all comes down to one tiny interval — the third. In this lesson, Jason breaks down a powerful bottom-up harmony approach that will change how you think about chord building forever. Using just two notes (A and C for the minor third, A and C# for the major third) anchored in your right hand, you'll learn how to harmonize them with 12 different bass notes underneath. The result? Triads, slash chords, seventh shells, jazz extensions, diminished and augmented voicings — all from the same two notes on top. We cover specific voicings like F major, Am/E, Dm7, D7sus4, G11, Bbmaj9, Bb minor major 9 (the James Bond chord), F# diminished, B7b9, A7/G Lydian, Eb half-diminished and many more. You'll also learn how to make 'clashing' bass notes actually work by thickening the harmony and using arpeggios instead of block chords. This lesson is perfect for intermediate pianists who want to break out of simple triads, understand jazz harmony, and finally figure out how to voice chords like the pros. Heavy theory content, practical demonstrations, and clear explanations throughout. If you want structured 1-on-1 instruction or our full video course library, links are in the pinned comment.

Ever wondered how one simple harmonic idea can sound like five completely different genres? In this lesson, Jason Zac walks you through five left hand piano patterns across five different keys — each one shifting the entire vibe of your music. We start with a power chord foundation and build outward using 6ths, 7ths, major and minor intervals. Because the third is left undefined, these voicings work in both major and minor contexts — giving you incredible harmonic flexibility for improvisation. You'll explore patterns in E, G#, Ab, F#, B, and A — moving through rock, blues, folk, and even experimental time signatures like 5/8 and 7/8. Each key gets its own rhythmic pattern with carefully placed accents and gaps that change the entire feel of your playing. A highlight of this lesson is Jason's tip on right hand improvisation: sing your melody first, then play it. This unlocks new rhythmic and melodic ideas that your fingers alone might never discover. We also touch on blues scales, Dorian mode, Mixolydian flavour, and how to mix the third for fresh harmonic colour.

In this piano lesson, Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music breaks down C major triad inversions and shows you how to connect them smoothly to other major and minor chords. If you're stuck always playing chords in root position, this lesson will completely change how you approach piano harmony. We start with the three positions of C major — root, first inversion, and second inversion — and then explore the most important chord connections every pianist needs: C to F, C to G, C to A minor, and beyond. You'll learn why keeping common tones between chords creates smoother voice leading and a more orchestral sound. We also cover movement by thirds, sixths, the tritone, and stepwise motion (seconds and sevenths) — giving you a complete map of how C major can connect to every other major and minor triad. The left hand stays grounded on the root while the right hand explores inversions, training your independence and chord shapes simultaneously. This exercise is perfect for beginners learning chords for the first time, intermediate players breaking out of root-position habits, and even electronic music producers who want to add real musical flavour and dynamics to their productions. Inversions aren't an advanced topic — they're foundational.

Triplets are the heartbeat of so much music — especially in Indian, sub-continental, and Eastern traditions — yet they're one of the most under-taught rhythms in Western piano curriculum. In this lesson, Jason Zac walks you through a complete triplet exercise built around a beautiful B minor melody. You'll learn the four key types of triplets: eighth note triplets (the standard), sextuplets (divide by six), quarter note triplets (the hemiola), and half note triplets. Jason demonstrates how to transition smoothly between semiquaver (divide-by-four) feel and triplet (divide-by-three) feel — a skill that instantly elevates your rhythmic vocabulary. The melodic exercise itself moves through B minor, D major over F#, and A major (with an added 4th), incorporating harmonized thirds, dominant chord licks, and tasteful Indian-style grace notes. You'll get detailed piano fingering for tricky passages across black notes, plus a simplified beginner version if the ornamental playing feels too advanced right now. This lesson is especially valuable if you're an Indian, Sri Lankan, Nepali, or other Eastern musician — or anyone who wants to internalise triplets beyond just counting "one-and-a, two-and-a." Jason also touches on konakol syllables (thakita) and how different cultures accent triplets uniquely.

That's exactly what's happening in this piece — quintal harmony over F♯ and E♭ minor 9th. We break down the left hand pattern, the melody line, and the scale so you can start playing it right away. 🎹 Head to our YouTube channel for full notation, a second melody, and improvisation techniques! Tired of your left hand sounding muddy, thin, or stuck on a boring 1-5 octave drone? In this piano lesson, Jason Zac breaks down the quintal voicing — a beautiful left hand technique built from two stacked perfect fifths that adds instant colour to any chord. We focus on two specific voicings: F#add9 and Ebm9. You'll learn why these voicings sound rich in the lower register of the piano, how to play them as block chords or broken arpeggios, and three different rhythmic patterns to apply them — including 4/4 and 3/4 time feels, plus a syncopated pattern that leaves space for the snare drum. Once the left hand is solid, we shift to building a right hand melody using chord tones (3-2-3-5-3-2-1). This is a powerful compositional approach because every note is guaranteed to fit the harmony. Jason then shows you how to ornament the tune with grace notes and reverse grace notes, and how to develop independence between the hands by practising in fragments. The lesson wraps up with a complimenting counter melody and an AABA / AABB structure you can use to extend your ideas into a full piece. We also touch on improvisation, time signature variations (5/8, 7/8), and how the F# pentatonic scale lets you improvise on the black keys alone.https://www.youtube.com/embed/FrHgHbQkzUQ2026-05-11T19:00:23-07:00178 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/i-stopped-using-ear-training-apps-heres-what-actually-worked2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/XsnCHC2NHAo/maxresdefault.jpgI Stopped Using Ear Training Apps — Here's What Actually WorkedLearn old-school ear training by singing intervals first and checking on piano. Build real relative pitch across major, minor & modal scales. Most musicians practise ear training the wrong way — by playing along with the piano or guitar while singing. That's mimicking, not hearing. In this lesson, Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shares the old-school approach: sing the note FIRST, then play your instrument only to check the answer. We begin by getting Sa wired into your system using a G drone or tanpura, then work through the full major scale using Indian swaras (Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni). You can also use movable-DO solfège or simple syllables like la-la or na-na — whatever keeps your brain untangled. From there we expand into Mixolydian, Dorian, natural minor, harmonic minor and melodic minor — each built by altering just a few intervals from the major scale. You'll practise singing close intervals first (Sa-Re-Sa), then widen the gap step by step (Sa-Ga-Sa, Sa-Ma-Sa, Sa-Pa-Sa) both above and below the tonic. This builds true relative pitch — the ability to hear how one note relates to another, the foundation of every melody. This isn't just an ear training drill. It's a 3D workout combining ear, theory and technique — because if you sing the right note but press the wrong key, you've still got work to do. Take breaks, stay hydrated, and try the exercise in different keys (find your preferred vocal key!). Once the order is comfortable, jumble the intervals to make it more musical and creative.

We work through a G major chord progression (G – C – Em – D – C/G – G) using second inversion voicings around middle C, shifting between chords with common tones and minimal hand movement. The two patterns are the 'Out-Two-In-One' (a steady, pumping feel) and the 'Out-In-Out-In' (faster tempos and swing feel). We also explore volume control, accenting different beats, triplet feel variations and adding an extra top note for a richer texture. In the left hand, go beyond simple root notes with octaves, toggling between root and fifth, passing bass notes and ghost notes. Plus tips on singing chord tones while accompanying yourself. For intermediate pianists, worship players and singer-songwriters.https://www.youtube.com/embed/fzG4J4EQTns2026-05-08T07:01:14-07:00102 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/fix-your-muddy-left-hand-with-quintal-voicings-on-piano2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/uTRjzrpF2F0/maxresdefault.jpgFix Your Muddy Left Hand With Quintal Voicings on PianoLearn quintal voicings on piano — a colourful left hand technique using stacked perfect fifths to replace boring 1-5 octave drones.

The Pendulum Exercise develops rhythm, dynamics, finger independence and musical creativity all at once. We work in the key of B major using just B, C# and D#, moving them in a pendulum pattern (1-2-3-2-1). The real learning happens when we group these notes in sets of 3, 4, 5 and even 7 while keeping the same tempo and pulse, so you feel rhythmic accents beyond standard time signatures. The left hand plays B major, G# minor, E add9 and F# with quintal voicings, add2 shapes and smooth inversions. For intermediate pianists, singers practising Carnatic or Hindustani swaras, and guitarists who want to improve their rhythmic phrasing. The lesson also introduces our free Pendulum app for practising every key, pattern and grouping with a metronome.https://www.youtube.com/embed/aUnH2oXYvnM2026-05-05T07:00:02-07:00162 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/the-missing-chord-skill-most-piano-students-dont-have2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/zBbBiaCK83A/maxresdefault.jpgThe Missing Chord Skill Most Piano Students Don't HaveLearn how to spice up traditional pop chord progressions using passing chords, secondary dominants, slash chords & borrowed chords on piano. Ever noticed how pop songs from the 70s, 80s and 90s feel so much richer than modern pop? That's because composers back then used classical and old-school harmonic techniques that are often forgotten today. In this lesson, Jason Zac shows you how to bring that depth back into your own playing. Starting with a plain diatonic C major progression, you'll add colour between the tonic and the relative minor using line clichés (C – G/B – Am), chromatic walk-downs, secondary dominants like E7 resolving to Am, and secondary diminished chords for that harmonic-minor flavour. Then we look at movement from I to IV (Mixolydian motion, Bb/C to F), gospel-style slash chords over a tonic pedal, and the ii–V–I with suspended dominants and tritone substitutions (Db7 replacing G7). The lesson also covers borrowed chords from the parallel minor — including the epic cadence (bVI – bVII – I) and the minor iv chord (Fm6 / D half-diminished) — plus slash chords as passing chords to create smooth chromatic bass lines. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - Performance 00:44 - Introduction: Why Modern Pop Sounds Flat 🎹 01:28 - The Problem with One-Chord Songs 01:36 - Diatonic Chords in C Major Recap 01:54 - Adding 7ths to Diatonic Chords 02:32 - Part 1: Tonic to Relative Minor Journey 03:07 - Line Cliché Walk-Down: C – G/B – Am 🎼 04:09 - Chromatic Drop from C to A 04:25 - A Major & F/A Slash Chord Option 05:00 - Secondary Dominant: E7 to Am 05:59 - Bluesy Melodic Possibilities 07:30 - Secondary Diminished Chord to Am 08:02 - Harmonic Minor Flavour vs Blues Flavour 08:38 - Part 2: Moving from I to IV 09:24 - Mixolydian Motion: Bb/C to F 🎵 10:06 - Gm to F Subtle Approach 10:32 - Part 3: Staying on the Tonic Creatively (Gospel Slash Chords) 11:05 - Dm/C, F/C and Plagal Colour 11:55 - Using the Diminished Chord as a Pass 12:07 - Drone-Style Tonic…https://www.youtube.com/embed/zBbBiaCK83A2026-05-02T09:00:07-07:001453 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/transform-your-ear-training-with-this-singing-trick2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/f6cSsWwX7H4/maxresdefault.jpg🎵 Transform Your Ear Training With This Singing Trick! 🎯Want better pitch recognition?

The right hand holds a steady 16th-note pattern using B major fifth chords and inversions while the left hand floats through melodic thirds along the diatonic scale, a 2:4 ratio that's the perfect independence challenge. You'll master chord inversions, rhythmic subdivisions and vocal coordination by singing swaras (Sa Re Ga Ma Pa), training your ear, timing and B major fluency all at once. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - Performance 01:08 - Introduction to Hand Independence Concepts 01:24 - B Major Hand Independence Introduction 02:08 - Right Hand Setup: Fifth Chord Positions 02:24 - Right Hand Setup: Fifth Chord Positions 02:51 - Root Position vs Inversion Fingering 03:16 - Mastering 16th Note Patterns 03:38 - Counting: 1 E and 2 E and Technique 03:59 - Counting: 1 E and 2 E and Technique 04:18 - Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Solfege System 04:34 - B Major Scale Thirds Breakdown 04:59 - Adding Octaves for Extra Challenge 06:17 - Using Your Voice While Playing 06:59 - Metronome Practice Tips 🎵 07:13 - Combining Both Hands: First Steps 07:27 - The 2:4 Ratio Coordination System 08:22 - Head Movement & Physical Groove 08:32 - Building the Complete Pattern 09:57 - Targeting Hit Points & Accents 10:26 - Rhythmic Displacement Techniques 10:51 - Shouting Numbers for Independence 11:49 - The ‘E’ Subdivision Challenge 12:01 - Second Subdivision Timing (25% Mark) 12:29 - Targetting the Hits in the Right Hand 13:51 - Making Hand Independence Fun 14:52 - Ear Training Through Coordination 15:21 - Expanding to Other Keys 15:58 - Same Key, Different Scales Approach ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses & Private Lessons ➡️…https://www.youtube.com/embed/LOUK0OCGsxo2026-01-07T08:00:06-08:001024 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/develop-piano-finger-independence-5-essential-exercises-for-better-control2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/MYtRA5WAfRw/maxresdefault.jpgDevelop Piano Finger Independence: 5 Essential Exercises for Better ControlLearn piano finger independence with step-by-step exercises using static notes and chromatic passing tones. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music teaches finger independence that goes beyond basic hand coordination, helping you isolate finger movements within the same hand while staying musical. Using a systematic approach with static notes (starting on Bb) while other fingers move chromatically and tonally, you'll keep one finger steady while the others create melodic motion. You'll explore chromatic passing notes, rhythmic subdivisions and embellishments in both 4/4 and 3/4 time, progressing from simple quarter-note pulses to syncopated patterns that challenge your finger isolation. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - Performance 00:44 - Introduction to Finger Independence 🎹 03:09 - Setting Up the Static Note (B♭) 03:25 - Basic Quarter Note Pulse Exercise 03:40 - Counting in different Time Signature 04:14 - Root Note G Minor Scale Concept 04:34 - Chromatic Descending Pattern (G-F#-F-E) 04:52 - Tonal Descending Pattern (G-F-E-D) 05:36 - Articulation: Staccato vs Legato 06:41 - Adding Chromatic Embellishments 🎵 07:26 - Targeting the ‘And’ of Beat 1 08:46 - 3/4 Time Chromatic Passing 09:12 - Targeting the ‘And’ of Beat 2 09:44 - Targeting the ‘And’ of Beat 3 10:40 - Targeting the ‘And’ of Beat 4 11:20 - Adding Extra Chromatic Notes 12:13 - Complex Rhythm Patterns 13:17 - Working with Other Target Notes 15:08 - Table Exercises Without Piano ✋ 15:48 - Practice Tips & Concentration 16:21 - Conclusion ============================= 📹 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://www.youtube.com/embed/MYtRA5WAfRw2026-01-03T08:00:06-08:001011 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/how-to-practice-piano-smarter-12-proven-strategies-for-better-results-in-less-time2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/J0Zbc4_kaBE/maxresdefault.jpgHow to Practice Piano Smarter: 12 Proven Strategies for Better Results in Less TimeSmart practice beats hard practice — and these 12 strategies will transform how you practise the piano.

Knowing whether a song is in 7/8, 5/4 or 4/4 is just the beginning. To truly excel as an improviser, composer, arranger or producer, you need to understand accent grouping, phrasing and beat divisions. The lesson demonstrates original compositions in various time signatures including 27/8, 15/8, 9/8 and 4/4, showing how rhythmic grouping inspires melodic and harmonic ideas. A 4/4 bar contains 16 semiquavers, which most people group as 4+4+4+4. But you can group it as 5+4+3+3 or any combination that equals 16, completely changing the feel while staying in time. Think of rhythm like storytelling. Some sentences are long, some are short, but everything stays in tempo. Beat divisions are equally crucial: the same composition can use triplets in one section and semiquavers in another, and understanding the difference between swing and straight feel transforms how you approach rhythm. 🏫 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…https://www.youtube.com/embed/TSgQ4zuBQgg2025-12-21T08:00:06-08:001740 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/single-note-endless-chords-the-ultimate-harmonization-tutorial-for-piano2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/u79TsqsCGCk/maxresdefault.jpgSingle Note, Endless Chords: The Ultimate Harmonization Tutorial for PianoLearn to harmonise one note with every possible chord, scale, and exotic voicing.

What makes this melody so fascinating is how it can be felt in completely different ways depending on your time signature and beat division approach, all while keeping the same tempo and melody intact. We start by examining three core time signatures: 3/4 (with three strong beats: 1-2-3, 1-2-3), 4/4 (where the melody becomes triplets: 1-and-a-2-and-a-3-and-a-4-and-a), and 6/8 (with two strong hits per cycle). The key is in the left-hand accompaniment—whether you use an oompa-pa pattern, traditional arpeggios, or different accent structures, the left hand establishes the pulse and transforms how the melody is perceived. It's like two rhythmic worlds colliding with each other. But we don't stop there. Once you understand how to shift between time signatures, we dive into creative beat division systems: swing feel (dividing beats by three), eighth-note triplets (both regular and "lazy" anticipations), funky semiquaver patterns (dividing by four with tresillo rhythms), and even a cinematic 7/8 time signature (grouped as 3+2+2). Each variation reveals new possibilities while…https://www.youtube.com/embed/TUvnnAqT7AM2025-12-10T08:00:06-08:001288 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/it-came-upon-the-midnight-clear-in-all-12-keys-christmas-piano-tutorial2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/47l52-6tO5U/maxresdefault.jpgIt Came Upon the Midnight Clear in ALL 12 Keys - Christmas Piano TutorialLearn to Transpose Any Song in “Real-Time”: It Came Upon a Midnight Clear (Christmas Carol) | Piano Theory Transpose It Came Upon a Midnight Clear to all 12 keys using intervals, ear training & theory 🎄 Explore Our Complete Christmas Collection - Visit our Christmas website where all tutorials are organized by skill level and genre for easy navigation. 🎹 Join Our Christmas Workshops This Season - We're running special workshops focused on ear training, music theory, transcription, and Christmas repertoire.

In this comprehensive piano tutorial, learn how to transpose "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear"—and really, any song—to all 12 keys without relying on sheet music or chord charts. The key to successful transposition is understanding three things: intervals (, chord function , and how each chord relates to the previous one. When you internalize these concepts, you can transpose in real-time at the piano without rewriting anything.We break down the entire piece systematically: The AABA song structure The secondary dominants (V/V progressions) that add harmonic color. The beautiful modulation to the relative minor in the B section, featuring melodic minor flavors with that characteristic raised 6th and 7th. But here's what makes this truly special: every key feels different and inspires different ideas. A♭ major might sound sophisticated and hymn-like. C major feels bright and folk-inspired. E♭ major might swing naturally. A major could sound laid-back. The piano itself guides you—when you don't know a scale perfectly, you discover survival chords like diminished sevenths, you create your own passing harmonies, and you develop unique voicings that wouldn't happen if everything were pre-written.

Stop playing boring root-fifth-octave patterns in your left hand; these work perfectly for pop, rock, Bollywood and contemporary piano arrangements. First, open 9th voicings built from two stacked perfect fifths, which work with both major and minor in the right hand, practised with the F9 to Eb add9 exercise. Second, floating scale tones with a root-octave anchor in a 3/4 swing pattern. Third, diatonic thirds with a static root, combining F major thirds with the root F for folk-inspired sounds and open major 7th voicings. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - Performance 00:44 - 3 Harmonic Tools for Left Hand 01:20 - The goal of the Left hand for Harmony 01:43 - Need for Width in the Bass Register 02:01 - The Root - Octave Left Hand Support 02:51 - What we’ll learn in this lesson? 04:34 - Spread Ninth Chords 04:57 - Works with both Major & Minor Chords 07:41 - Spread Triads 08:27 - The Ninth Chord Exercise 09:51 - Up a Minor 3rd 10:42 - Fignering for the Left Hand 11:51 - 3/4 Pattern with Swing 12:19 - F Major Floating 13:41 - What could the Bass Movement be? 15:48 - Now for the Minor 16:56 - Modal Modulation 18:12 - Bottom up Approach 19:00 - Anchor with Thirds 19:37 - Combining the Thirds with the Root 20:08 - Drone sound with color 21:20 - Anchor on the Top with Minor 22:13 - Floating from both directions 23:28 - Recapping the lesson and preparing ahead ============================= 📹 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…https://www.youtube.com/embed/YCJyoW0afP42025-12-03T08:00:06-08:001495 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/how-to-finger-piano-chords-correctly-triads-inversions-voice-leading2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/GIGG1rT6afw/maxresdefault.jpgHow to Finger Piano Chords Correctly: Triads, Inversions & Voice LeadingLearn correct fingering for piano triads and inversions to play chord progressions smoothly.

Learn why ring finger should be dedicated to black notes in the upper register, how to position your thumb on black keys without feeling trapped, and why index finger at the edge gives you more control. Practical examples include D major, G major, A minor, Eb major and more, plus left hand root positioning for any chord progression. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - Performance 00:33 - The Correct Fingering for playing a Triad 00:54 - Question often asked by Music Students 01:22 - Guitars and Chord Shapes 01:51 - Similar Chord Shapes 02:49 - The Importance of the Root Position? 03:16 - What we will learn? 04:35 - D Major & its inversions 05:02 - Root Position, Ist and 2nd Inversion 05:43 - 2 note, 3 note & 4 note chords 06:15 - Why Chord Inversions? 06:35 - Proper Voice Leading 07:21 - Shifting to the next chord 08:38 - Fingering Considerations 09:37 - Making the best use of the 5 Fingers 10:16 - Planning for the next chord 11:42 - Shifting from D Major to other Triads 12:47 - What should the Left Hand play? 13:26 - Starting from the Ist Inversion 13:50 - The Challenge of the Thumb 15:06 - Using the Index Finger 15:48 - Index vs Thumb 16:38 - 2nd Inversion of D Major 16:52 - The Ring Finger 20:39 - Chord Randomizer 21:24 - Conclusion ============================= 📹 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 lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️…https://www.youtube.com/embed/GIGG1rT6afw2025-11-29T08:00:06-08:001339 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/complete-finger-exercise-for-scales-modes-both-hands-daily-piano-routine2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/p7YdnQHeImQ/maxresdefault.jpgComplete Finger Exercise for Scales & Modes (Both Hands, Daily Piano Routine)Practice all 7 modes of the major scale with right hand exercises and left hand accompaniment. In this lesson, you learn to practice all seven modes of the major scale by staying on one root and shaping each mode with both close and spread right hand positions. The right hand works on expansion, compression, finger control and clear interval awareness while the left hand builds strength through scale movement and fifth chords. The tritone for each mode is explained so you understand how harmony shifts across Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian and Locrian. You will also learn the key notes that define every mode and how to highlight them while ascending and descending. By the end of the lesson, you will have seven complete exercises to practice and a strong understanding of modal theory in a practical, musical way. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - Demonstration 00:35 - Scales & Modes Exercise 00:51 - The 7 Modes of the Major 01:11 - One Key and Many Modes 01:56 - The Skill levels for this Lesson 02:40 - Close & Spread Scalar Motion 03:13 - Techniques for Pianists to work on 03:45 - What we will learn? 04:40 - The Ionian or Major 06:07 - LH playing the Pulse 06:36 - G Major Scale in the Left Hand 07:22 - Ascending & Descending 07:44 - 5th Chords in the Bass 08:13 - LH with Minims 09:18 - The Dorian Mode 09:40 - With respect to Minor & Major - Raising & Lowering 09:56 - The Unique notes of the Dorian 11:00 - Climbing the Left Hand 11:19 - Perfect Fifths & the Tritone 12:27 - The 3rd Degree - Phrygian 13:16 - Adjusting to 1-2b-4-5-7b 14:05 - Fifth chords 14:53 - The Lydian 16:33 - Mixolydian 17:49 - Aeolian (6th degree) - Natural Minor 18:49 - Aeolian with Fifths in the LH 19:33 - The Locrian 20:38 - Climbing the Locrian Ladder ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses & Private Lessons ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com…https://www.youtube.com/embed/p7YdnQHeImQ2025-11-26T08:00:06-08:001330 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/voicing-chords-made-easy-on-piano-using-major-minor-thirds2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/daLg5h8-Vj8/maxresdefault.jpgVoicing Chords Made Easy on Piano Using Major & Minor ThirdsThis lesson helps beginners navigate difficult chord progressions and improve piano accompaniment skills using just major and minor thirds. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shows you how to use just major and minor 3rds in the right hand, floating the left-hand bass with single notes, to build almost every triad, seventh chord and even some complex jazz voicings. By pivoting the thirds against a moving bass, you can voice rich harmony with very little hand movement — making tricky progressions far more manageable. It's a beginner-friendly approach that instantly improves your accompaniment. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - Performance 00:47 - Introduction 03:30 - Build Major 3rd from D 04:29 - Building from D to F♯ 04:53 - Let’s Look at the Chord Tones 06:15 - Changing vibe of D Major 07:15 - Make the Chord Progression Longer 07:56 - Lets look at other Bass Notes 10:55 - Use it in Passing Context 11:38 - ⚠️ Playing Chord which are not part of the D Maj Scale 13:22 - Lets Study the Min 3rd 16:11 - Using the C♯ Scale 16:51 - Conclusion ============================= 📹 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 ➡️…https://www.youtube.com/embed/daLg5h8-Vj82025-11-22T08:00:06-08:001121 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/chord-voicing-for-beginners-colourful-piano-chords-using-fifths2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/DWF3UGgQlxg/maxresdefault.jpgChord Voicing for Beginners: Colourful Piano Chords Using FifthsVoice chords with wide intervals and build richer harmony while keeping control and clarity For piano beginners who accompany themselves or others, this technique helps you voice chords using wide intervals while keeping the right hand steady.

In this piano lesson, we'll explore how major and minor chords connect through cadences and the circle of fifths. You'll learn how to identify scales and modes based on simple two-chord progressions like V–I (authentic) and IV–I (plagal). We'll also see how combinations like major to major, major to minor, minor to major and minor to minor create unique sounds: Major to Major gives the Ionian (Major scale), Major to Minor a Harmonic Minor feel, Minor to Major the Mixolydian, and Minor to Minor the Aeolian (Natural Minor). Finally, we'll apply this to real piano practice with inversions, smooth transitions, and a creative way to harmonize any scale. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - Performance 00:32 - Cadences & Circle of Fifths 01:32 - Revision of the Circle of Fifths 01:49 - Perfect 5th Galore 02:13 - Perfect 4th motion 02:41 - Cadences 04:06 - Plagal Cadence 05:19 - Binary Perspective - Major & Minor Triads 05:54 - V to I - Major Scale 06:58 - V to i - Harmonic Minor 08:10 - Highlighting the Scale 08:38 - Other scales wrt this Cadence 09:14 - v to I - Mixolydian 10:07 - v to i - Natural Minor 11:17 - Plagal Cadence - 4 to 1 12:26 - Major to Minor - Dorian 13:13 - iv - I (Charukeshi) - Mixolydian b6 14:07 - Minor to Minor 14:46 - Aeolian vs Harmonic Minor 16:05 - Think and Play 16:38 - Practice Goals ============================= 📹 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://www.youtube.com/embed/kak4hvdjsY02025-10-25T09:00:07-07:001068 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/all-types-of-microphones-for-music-production-what-they-do-why-it-matters2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/ehy-S-k3_kk/maxresdefault.jpgALL Types of Microphones for Music Production: What They Do & Why It Matters🎤 Looking to upgrade your microphone setup but don’t know where to start?

This final part (Part 4) of our rhythm series explores the triplet feel — the heartbeat of many Indian folk rhythms. We look at binary on/off permutations and how to apply them across left-hand bass and right-hand chords. You'll see how these grooves appear in South Indian, Rajasthani, Nepali, Konkani and Sri Lankan folk traditions. By practising triplet subdivisions, you'll strengthen your rhythmic independence, learn to adapt the piano to a drum-like role, and prepare yourself to play in any groove setting, from cultural folk jams to modern fusions. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - Performance 00:10 - Introduction 00:52 - Recap of the Lesson Series 01:53 - Understanding the Triplet Feel 02:22 - Trivial Beat combinations 03:14 - Divide it by Three 04:07 - Coming Swings 04:29 - Toggle & Add Passing Notes 05:08 - Difference between Tresillo & Triplets 05:59 - Add the Trivial Rhythm 06:40 - Triplets used around the Subcontinent 07:40 - Conclusion ============================= 📹 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…https://www.youtube.com/embed/jup-7n5fLcI2025-10-15T09:15:06-07:00578 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/piano-workout-2-chords-all-inversions-modal-hexatonic-scales2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/qakASBgKQ9U/maxresdefault.jpgPiano Workout: 2 Chords, All Inversions & Modal Hexatonic ScalesLearn 2-chord piano exercises across Hexatonic and Barry Harris 6-Diminished scales, where just two chords can outline entire scales and modes.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music explores how each of these odd time signatures feels, counts and functions in real music — because 5/4 is not simply the same as 5/8 or 5/16. You'll learn how to count and feel odd meters correctly, use subdivisions, accents and phrasing in 5/4, write riffs and short cycles in 5/8, and apply busy rhythmic textures in 5/16. You'll also compare them to Indian 'five-beat' grooves, use polymetric combinations (like 5/16 with 4/4), and learn to compose and practise effectively in odd meters. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - Introduction 01:10 - Great 5/4 Songs 03:27 - Distinguishing Between 5/4, 5/8, 5/16 05:04 - How Can 5/4 Be Written? 06:52 - 5/4 Time Signature 07:47 - How Is 5/4 Similar to 4/4? 09:33 - Creating a Composition in 5/4 11:11 - 5/4 Divided into 4 Units 13:46 - Grouping 10/8 16:14 - 5/8 Time Signature 18:38 - 5/4 vs 5/8 22:15 - 5/16 Time Signature 23:08 - 5/16 with Semiquavers 24:24 - Aligning 5/4 & 5/16 25:07 - Getting 5/16 in a 5/4 Context 25:59 - Feeling of 5/8 26:25 - Polymetric Scenario 28:15 - Using 5/4 in Different Ways 29:19 - Understanding 3/8 30:04 - Dividing 3/8 into 3/4 (Dotted Notes) 31:29 - Conclusion ============================= 📹 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://www.youtube.com/embed/mHfXHZH-siI2025-09-27T09:15:06-07:001989 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/how-to-tune-guitar-bass-violin-any-string-instrument-by-ear2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/wXBH5L87lXI/hqdefault.jpgHow to Tune Guitar, Bass, Violin & Any String Instrument by EarLearn to tune guitar, bass, violin and more with simple methods for perfect accuracy, using technology, musical tips as well as just your ears.

By the end of the lesson, you'll be able to perform Sapphire with all its nuances and create your own expressive arrangement. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - Performance 01:28 - Introduction 05:08 - Sapphire - Ed Sheeran 05:21 - Verse 1 - Melodic Ornaments 06:36 - Verse 1 - Add Octaves to it 09:26 - Let’s Understand Grace Notes 10:32 - How to use the sustained pedal 11:24 - The Gospel Flick 11:55 - Add Grace Notes combined with Flicks 13:12 - Verse 2 - Melodic Ornaments 14:26 - Lets do some Stacking of notes 16:32 - Combining the Ornaments Together 17:47 - How to Flutter the Chord 19:00 - Putting it Together 19:27 - Rhythmic Techniques 20:55 - Add Stack Spread Thirds 21:41 - Groovy Verse 3 24:21 - Add Pentatonic Bass Fills 24:57 - Slowly but Surely! 25:45 - Follow the Groove of the Song 27:53 - Recap & Conclusion ============================= 📹 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://www.youtube.com/embed/Lsy2fAbf_Y82025-09-20T09:00:06-07:001711 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/play-wednesdays-theme-on-piano-with-one-simple-technique2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/Z309URkixMU/maxresdefault.jpgPlay Wednesday's Theme on Piano With One Simple TechniqueLearn how to play the Wednesday theme by Danny Elfman as a solo piano arrangement.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shows you how to execute rhythms that sound almost identical but feel completely different. You'll explore triplets, semiquavers (16ths), swing and clave patterns, and how to apply them over scales, chords and even while singing. You'll learn how triplets create a flowing feel versus the forward drive of semiquavers, how to use konnakol to subdivide rhythms, and how to practise with a metronome at 70-80 bpm with accents and syncopation. You'll also apply the drills on major and minor scales and explore Son, Rumba and Bossa claves. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - Introduction 00:32 - 1- Beat Structure 00:53 - 2- Beat Rhythm 01:34 - 1-Beat Division → Quavers (Eighth Notes) 03:36 - Add Traditional Swing Feel 04:54 - Straight vs Swing Explained 05:12 - Dividing the Beat into 4 (Semiquavers) 06:20 - How Swing is felt 06:53 - 1 Beat and 2 hits 08:57 - Dotted Feel vs Straight 09:17 - Dividing by 2 & 4 10:16 - Semiquaver vs Quaver Pulse 12:12 - Swinging the Semiquaver Feel 12:46 - Triplet Feel 13:03 - Semiquavers: Swing vs Straight 13:17 - Quaver Feel in Context 14:52 - Applying Rhythms Over 2 Beats 15:19 - The Famous Tresillo 16:29 - Quarter-Note Triplets 16:54 - D Minor Triplet Example 17:54 - Dividing the Triplet by 3 19:00 - Understanding the Dotted Quaver Feel 19:24 - Tresillo (Revisited) 19:52 - Triplet Variations 20:06 - Rhythm Patterns Across a Bar 20:34 - Son Clave 21:20 - Rumba Clave 22:49 - Bossa Clave 24:08 - Capping off the three Claves 25:11 - Recap & Wrap-Up 26:21 - Conclusion ============================= 📹 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…https://www.youtube.com/embed/WKRSPrWhIRE2025-09-13T09:00:06-07:001639 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/piano-rhythm-lesson-master-semiquavers-triplets-lock-your-timing2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/1NJKVwzfluI/maxresdefault.jpgPiano Rhythm Lesson: Master Semiquavers & Triplets (Lock Your Timing)Practice semiquaver & triplet rhythm patterns with 1-beat, 2-beat & full bar exercises.

Flip the usual approach and start with rhythm — using accents, beat divisions and time signatures as your seed. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music flips the traditional songwriting approach by starting with rhythm instead of melody or harmony, showing how accents, beat divisions and time signatures become powerful seeds for composing.

The Thin Blue Line Theme on Piano (Howard Goodall)In this tutorial, we explore the beautifully melancholic and often overlooked theme from The Thin Blue Line — a British sitcom featuring the legendary Rowan Atkinson, and composed by the equally brilliant Howard Goodall. Often remembered for his work on Mr. Bean and Blackadder, Goodall’s writing for The Thin Blue Line brings a more introspective, wistful tone — a gentle yet expressive piece that combines elegance with subtle British wit. 🎩 🎹 In this lesson, we’ll break down the entire theme for piano: * The whistled melody and how to translate it to piano * The lush chord structure and harmonic movement * The melody line and phrasing techniques * How to combine the left-hand chords with right-hand melody * Tips for adding expression, ornaments, and dynamic control 🎼 Whether you're a fan of Rowan Atkinson, a lover of vintage sitcoms, or a piano player looking for emotionally rich themes — this one’s for you! 🎹 Great Songs on Piano (Playlist) - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT8y1l2P68dI_DHadRyMgt3N 🎶 How to Play "Linus and Lucy”- https://youtu.be/QiIi6HIEl1Y 📹 Our Video Courses (Lifetime Bundle): https://www.nathanielschool.com/members-videos 📇 Courses, Workshops, Videos, or Private lessons: https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 👉🏼🏡Visit our Channel for more Tutorials & Performances - https://geni.us/NathanielYouTube 🎓 Learn Music With Nathaniel School of Music & Jason Zac: https://www.nathanielschool.com/ 🎼 Register for our virtual workshops & lessons: https://geni.us/UpcomingClasses 🎶 Learn all about our flagship course, "Music Method": https://www.nathanielschool.com/musicmethod 📚 All our YouTube lessons (1000+) categorised by skill level, topic & genre all in one place: https://www.nathanielschool.com/freelessons 🐣 All our Beginner Piano Lessons in one Place: https://www.nathanielschool.com/free-lessons/tags/beginner-1 ⏳ 00:00 - Whistling Piano Performance Intro 00:30 - The Brilliance of Howard Goodall’s Theme 00:57 - Chord Structure & Essential Theory 01:12 - Db Major Harmony…https://www.youtube.com/embed/EV1kzug7yXI2025-07-07T09:00:06-07:00942 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/voice-leading-explained-why-every-musician-needs-it2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/0w-8y38kKKA/maxresdefault.jpgVoice Leading Explained: Why Every Musician Needs It🎓 Take your music skills to the next level with in-depth courses: https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 In this Voice Leading Lesson, you will understand how this music theory topic is important for music composition with 5 roles that it plays to make harmony come to life and sing out!

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music teaches you how to count, feel and play a variety of patterns that all have three hits per bar. You'll start with the famous Tresillo (in both speeds) and then journey through other meters — 3/4 (waltz), 5/8, 7/8 and even 9/8. You'll also study three methods of counting — contemporary, sight-reading and konnakol — and improve your playing by performing each groove three ways: syncopation, independence with pulse, and a left-hand bass line. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - Live Piano Performance 00:22 - Introduction to the Lesson 03:17 - The Popular 4-Chord Progression Explained 08:01 - Tresillo Rhythm with Eighth Notes 09:01 - Right Hand Improvisation Techniques 09:49 - Playing 3 Accent Hits in a 3/4 Time Signature 11:50 - Subdividing 3/4 Time into Triplet Pulses 12:15 - Breaking 3/4 Time into Sixteenth Notes (Semiquavers) 13:01 - Creating 3 Accent Hits in 5/8 Time 14:49 - Playing 3 Accent Patterns in 7/8 Time Signature 16:55 - 3 Accents in Complex 9/8 Time Signature 17:27 - Lesson Recap and Final Thoughts ============================= 📹 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 lessons on Rhythm (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT85tF6cGvZK6jc5u6yZg5uU 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory 👂 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 📸…https://www.youtube.com/embed/9chHpik2Gc02025-06-28T09:00:06-07:001096 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/practice-major-scales-with-chords-creative-piano-scale-exercise-part-22026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/lCcPEuF0X48/maxresdefault.jpgPractice Major Scales with CHORDS: Creative Piano Scale Exercise (Part 2)Learn 6 ways to play major scales on the piano using supporting chords in the right hand while the left hand plays roots, scalar motion and block chords.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music starts with G major and moves through an augmented chord to E minor. The fifth moves from D to D-sharp to E while the other chord notes stay in place. Practise the arpeggio in root position, first inversion and second inversion, adding a different note to each shape. Then combine the right-hand pattern with left-hand block chords and sing the moving note to train your ear.

In this 3-part series, we learn a variety of methods to play ballad-style piano accompaniment. The right hand uses predominantly 3 patterns (block chords, broken chords and arpeggios) while the left hand develops root-octave combo patterns, ghost notes and a walking bass line. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - Performance 00:37 - Introduction to part 3 02:03 - Intro to walking bass line 02:45 - How chords are played by different instruments 05:53 - Pattern of Walking bass 𝄢 07:44 - Improvising the same pattern using 5ths 08:03 - Advanced pattern 09:37 - Recap 09:57 - 8th note ghosts 11:03 - Walking Bass in different Scales 12:19 - Conclusion ============================= 📹 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/ #PianoAccompaniment #WalkingBass #BalladPiano Continue this lesson series Part 1: ballad chords, broken chords and arpeggios —…https://www.youtube.com/embed/99_k0kVOUFw2025-01-22T08:00:06-08:00894 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/piano-ballad-accompaniment-ghost-notes-in-the-left-hand-part-22026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/Jl4BmotXk3M/maxresdefault.jpgPiano Ballad Accompaniment: Ghost Notes in the Left Hand (Part 2)Ghost notes are what give ballad accompaniment its quiet forward motion — in Part 2 of this series you'll learn how to play them in the left hand across many time divisions to propel the rhythm. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music teaches what ghost notes are and how to use them under a progression — counting eighth notes, choosing ghost-note placements, handling diminished and augmented chords, and combining them with 5ths and 3rds. You'll learn to play slash chords in the left hand (3rds and 5ths in the bass), swing them, and move through triplet ballad feels, Tresillo, 16th notes and arpeggios. This is Part 2 of a 3-part series on ballad accompaniment; the right hand carries block chords, broken chords and arpeggios while the left hand brings the rhythm to life.

In this 45-minute session (or rant, if you will), I share my honest experiences, insights, and a practical toolkit for improving your musical ear. Key takeaways: the most commonly asked questions about ear training, why Music Theory is your best friend for harmonic ear training, a step-by-step toolkit to decode chords by ear, and some good habits and hacks to develop a sharper ear. Whether you're just starting out or are an experienced musician looking for fresh perspectives, this talk will give you a clear and honest reality check on your ear training journey. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - What will be discussed? 00:20 - My music learning era 00:40 - Sheet Music and me 00:52 - Reality Check 01:43 - The only chords I knew 03:11 - The “other” chords 03:34 - The good habits back then 04:04 - My issue with Notation books & Google Chords 05:37 - How to address doubts? 06:10 - Jamming with Guitarists 06:49 - Hearing things out of the blue 07:19 - Music Theory - The Ears best friend 08:11 - Using packets of data 08:45 - The essential toolklit 09:30 - A Major Diatonic Harmony 10:02 - Moving out of the Scale 10:21 - The two chord connection 10:56 - Non-Diatonic Chords 11:31 - The Problem with cult following 12:27 - A Democracy for Music - The Radio 13:04 - Searching for the Cadence 13:24 - The curious case of the Major 7th 14:30 - Improving our Vocabulary 16:11 - Naming your own Cadences 16:58 - Advantage of learning on multiple keys 18:33 - The Epic Cadence 19:20 - The Chainsmokers Cadence 20:04 - Fancy names for fancy chords 21:14 - The Plagal “Amen” Cadence 22:06 - Jailhouse Rock 22:46 - Detecting the Notes of a Chord 23:04 - Listening to the Bass 24:42 - The Theory Hack 24:56 - The Quality of Chords 26:13 - The Melody Line 27:05 - The Guessing Game 27:45 - Within the Ballpark of Bb…https://www.youtube.com/embed/0aRoHnXiMPU2025-01-01T08:00:06-08:002747 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/one-left-hand-pattern-for-folk-pop-piano-works-on-almost-any-song2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/z3yKpfbO-C0/maxresdefault.jpgOne Left-Hand Pattern for Folk & Pop Piano (Works on Almost Any Song)One left-hand pattern can make almost any melody sound like a folk or pop song — in this lesson you'll learn a diad-based pattern that floats around a single major chord and works across countless tunes. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music keeps a constant root and fifth on top while floating the lower register with diatonic diads in D Major. You'll apply it to "Twinkle", "Three Blind Mice", "Jingle Bells", "Country Roads", "Amazing Grace", "Annie's Song" and more — improvising with diads, adding floating thirds for density, and even taking it into triplets, 6/8 and odd meters with drum grooves. By the end you'll have a flexible accompaniment pattern that turns the piano into a chameleon — ready for folk, pop and beyond. 🏫 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 🫲 Left Hand Exercises (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT8z7g-GEvODdNziji2edzVX 🪕 Folk Arpeggios ➡️ https://youtu.be/eW82Ttuv52E 🧜🏾 Folk Music Accompaniment ➡️ https://youtu.be/ps86lNUCpeg ============================= 🎓 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 ============================= ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Performance 01:42 Folk Music Cultures 02:21 Preparing for the Lesson 02:54 D Major Theory 03:26 Developing our Practice 04:23 The Easy LH Pattern 05:01 The Best Song Ever Written - "Twinkle" 05:42 Three Blind Mice, Jingle Bells & More 06:30 Usage of Diads 07:48 Improvising with Diads 08:37 Pattern 2 09:16 Improv with Pattern 2 11:28 Making it Harmonically Dense 12:11 Floating Thirds 13:34 The Exercise to Float the Low-End Thirds 14:41 Time for Country Roads 15:42…https://www.youtube.com/embed/z3yKpfbO-C02024-12-28T08:00:06-08:001338 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/fairytale-of-new-york-by-the-pogues-piano-instrumental-cover2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/uZCphnltRVQ/maxresdefault.jpgFairytale of New York by The Pogues (Piano Instrumental Cover)Here's an instrumental version of Fairytale of New York by The Pogues feat.

Using a single triad, we connect its notes to every single major and minor chord that shares a common chord tone between them. To practice this on piano, the common note is anchored at the top position in the right hand and at the bottom in the left hand. We start with G and the six triads that contain it, then move the anchor note to B and D. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - Performance 00:32 - What you will learn? 01:56 - Starting off with G Major with its Inversions 02:57 - Chord Trees 03:17 - Triads that have G in them 04:53 - 6 Triads that has note G 05:20 - Now for the Exercise 06:59 - HLML Arpeggio 07:25 - Minor Chords with the “G” Wall 08:39 - Practicing all 6 Triads 10:35 - Exercise in both hands 11:24 - Expansion of the Arpeggio 12:08 - Left Hand Pulse 13:04 - Expanded Arpeggio in RH & Slow Arpeggio in LH 13:33 - Clashes are avoided 14:05 - Changing the Anchor Note 15:36 - Mapping Chords w.r.t B as the anchor 16:40 - B as the wall on top 17:22 - Both Hand together with arpeggio in RH 17:39 - Expanded Arpeggio in RH 18:28 - Mapping Triads that has note D 19:01 - Picking “D” as the anchor 19:21 - Let’s train our Ear 19:48 - Arpeggiate RH & LH 20:09 - Future Practice 21:01 - Conclusion ============================= 📹 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…https://www.youtube.com/embed/QUCuBJrov0E2024-11-27T08:00:06-08:001351 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/compose-improvise-better-melodies-using-scale-chord-tones-piano2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/h2K0ZqkZViw/maxresdefault.jpgCompose & Improvise Better Melodies Using Scale & Chord Tones (Piano)Using simple 2-chord progressions (cadences), we combine scalar and chordal motion to compose and improvise melodies on the fly.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music explains how slash chords differ from regular triads: they create tension, and even the tonic chord can sound unstable when played over another bass note. In this scale-climbing exercise (ascending and descending), you'll work two distinct hand jobs at once: the right hand uses inversions with a voicing technique to bring out the melody line, while the left hand uses slash chords to climb the scale from the root to the octave and back. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - Performance 00:14 - Introduction 00:39 - About the Lesson 01:40 - Eb Major - Essential Theory 02:08 - Inversions of the I, IV & V Chord 03:40 - Slash Chords 05:03 - All the 3 Slash Chords with Singing 05:57 - RH with Scalar Movement 06:27 - Inversion Strategy 07:37 - Moving up the Eb Major Scale 08:20 - Arpeggio Pattern 09:02 - Sa Re Ga Ma - Up & Down 09:40 - Play root notes on the left hand 10:45 - Managing the 5th Degree 11:50 - Practicing the Whole Ascend 12:29 - Descending the Scale 13:14 - LH - Blocks & RH - Arpeggios 14:14 - Twinkle Twinkle Returns! 14:37 - Bringing out the Melody 16:30 - Ascending and Descending in Left Hand 𝄢 19:58 - Revision ============================= 📹 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 lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory 🥁 All our lessons on Rhythm (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT85tF6cGvZK6jc5u6yZg5uU ============================= 🎓 Learn Music with Nathaniel School of Music & Jason Zac ➡️ https://nathanielschool.com 📚…https://www.youtube.com/embed/aFjcNAdD6Ko2024-09-21T09:00:33-07:001309 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/send-audio-midi-between-iphone-ipad-mac-with-just-the-charging-cable2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/4fDW7gB25Tk/maxresdefault.jpgSend Audio & MIDI Between iPhone, iPad & Mac With Just the Charging CableWireless Audio & MIDI Between iPhone, iPad & Mac.

We'll begin by exploring how triads are linked through intervals, including their inversions. Next, we'll focus on singing specific chord tones, both upper and lower. The final challenge will be to master four essential arpeggio patterns using all inversions, and then apply the same exercises to a minor chord for a comprehensive workout. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - What you will learn 00:14 - Traditional method of Learning Intervals 00:26 - All Intervals wrt Db 02:20 - Wrt Previous or Next Note 03:13 - Intervals wrt a Chord 05:02 - Building Basic Triads 05:24 - How many intervals per Chord? 09:32 - Weights of Intervals 11:10 - Combinations with Chat GPT 13:57 - Major Chord with Inversions 14:34 - Root Position 15:46 - Singing the Top & Bottom 17:11 - First Inversion 21:06 - Slash Chords vs Inversions 21:28 - 2nd Inversions 21:53 - Singing Tips 23:39 - 2nd Inversion Observed Intervalically 24:35 - All inversions recapped 25:35 - Singing Internally 25:51 - Low - Middle - High 26:48 - Arp 1 - LMHM L 27:40 - Arp 2 - LHMH L 28:27 - Arp 3 - HMLM H 29:34 - Arp 4: HLML H 31:29 - Same Arpeggios with Inversions 33:44 - Exploring C Minor Triad 34:50 - Arpeggios Patterns over the Minor Chord 36:14 - Conclusion ============================= 📹 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…https://www.youtube.com/embed/J_asxglNye82024-09-07T09:00:07-07:002252 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/must-know-chords-for-writing-in-minor-keys-make-minor-progressions-sound-pro2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/iLP8t-7y9qo/maxresdefault.jpgMust-Know Chords for Writing in Minor Keys (Make Minor Progressions Sound Pro)In this music theory and composition lesson, you'll discover how to form and apply the essential chords in any piece of music using the minor scale, whether it's natural, harmonic, Dorian or melodic.

In this lesson you'll learn to customise piano arpeggios using accents, so the same notes become a fresh, personal pattern. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shows you how to customise your piano arpeggios using accents — emphasising chosen notes within a pattern to give it shape, groove and personality. You'll learn how shifting where the accents fall changes the feel of an arpeggio completely, letting you turn one set of notes into many different-sounding ideas. It's a creative way to make your arpeggios flow with character instead of sounding mechanical. 🏫 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/ #PianoLessons #PianoTutorial #PianoArpeggios #PianoAccents #PianoTechniquehttps://www.youtube.com/embed/Gy9RCUzOjYE2024-07-20T09:00:07-07:002066 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/use-simple-triads-to-play-complex-piano-chords-7th-chords-part-12026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/1G6uZ0QRKN0/maxresdefault.jpgUse SIMPLE Triads to Play COMPLEX Piano Chords: 7th Chords (Part 1)Using slash chords, you can play simple triads in the right hand over a different bass note to unlock complex seventh chords.

These voicings keep the lower register clean and clear while making the movement between chords far easier on the fingers. It's a practical, efficient approach to seventh-chord harmony that works for accompaniment, songwriting and solo piano. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - Advantanges of Seventh Chords 02:04 - Visualizing Seventh Chords 03:31 - Seventh Chords out there 04:40 - Voicing Method #1 06:22 - 3 7 & 7 3 Voicing 07:00 - Minor 7th 07:23 - minMaj7 07:39 - Voicing with Choir & Orchestra 08:07 - Ease of Shifting using ii - V - I 09:47 - Flipping 3 & 7 Intervals 10:57 - The Circle of Fifths Drill 11:58 - Memorize Seventh Chords Easily 12:36 - Triad + Seventh Interval Strategy 13:42 - Shift Between Seventh Chords 16:16 - Spread Voicing for the left Hand 17:44 - Contrast with Frequency ============================= 📹 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…https://www.youtube.com/embed/jlDhOKHNAgs2024-06-26T09:00:06-07:001215 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/a-30-minute-rhythm-deep-dive-meter-tempo-note-values-polyrhythms2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/ku_lNTRVIDM/maxresdefault.jpgA 30-Minute Rhythm Deep Dive: Meter, Tempo, Note Values & PolyrhythmsThis 30-minute rhythm exploration covers the elements of rhythm from the big picture down to the fine detail — and how they actually work.

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 #PianoTutorialhttps://www.youtube.com/embed/iaR7tyusBkc2024-05-11T09:00:07-07:001485 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/ask-me-anything-theory-ear-training-production-piano-answered-part-12026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/nrkNvXWmkKw/maxresdefault.jpgAsk Me Anything: Theory, Ear Training, Production & Piano Answered (Part 1)An Ask Me Anything session where all your musical questions get answered — theory, ear training, production and piano — in this Part 1 Q&A.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music uses a rather long chord progression with a traditional "ballad style" melody to develop a variety of left-hand arpeggio patterns. With simple displacement and voicing tricks, each pattern gets its own character — then you layer the melody on top of all five, including a 16th-note arpeggio variation. The result is a left hand that carries the harmony and momentum on its own, freeing your right hand to sing — the heart of beautiful solo-piano ballad playing. 🏫 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 Arpeggios lessons (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT-BCpTe-KKSdiKlAFMvYNsH 🙌🏼 All our Hand Independence Exercises (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT-On4vodpAoZqTlWDCS5jv7 🖖🏽 The All-in-One Finger Exercise ➡️ https://youtu.be/OB8c3TZU8kM ============================= 🎓 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 ============================= ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Performance 00:47 Introduction 01:52 Scale for the Exercise 03:13 Chords 07:50 Arpeggio Pattern 1 08:58 Arpeggio Pattern 2 10:14 Arpeggio Pattern 3 11:28 Arpeggio Pattern 4 12:54 Arpeggio Pattern 5 14:59 Melody 17:16 Melody + Pattern 1 19:48 Melody + Pattern 2 22:35 16th Notes Arpeggio 23:28 Melody + Pattern 3 25:26 Melody + Pattern 4 28:58 Melody + Pattern 5 32:35 Summary 💰 Donate on PayPal ➡️…https://www.youtube.com/embed/WHcaCWHohhs2024-03-27T09:00:07-07:002041 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/play-4-genres-on-piano-reggae-funk-rock-disco-grooves-part-22026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/QYFdSfB8p50/maxresdefault.jpgPlay 4 Genres on Piano: Reggae, Funk, Rock & Disco Grooves (Part 2)Learn the essential “roots” genres on the Piano with patterns developed with chords from the Dorian mode.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music walks you step by step from the pulse hits outward to the off-beats. You'll form the Dorian scale and its chords, toggle the pulse, get comfortable playing everything "off" except beat 1, then build a popular eighth-note funky groove and a swung broken-chord feel. It's a practical, groove-first approach to rhythm — train your hands to lock into subdivisions and the funk takes care of itself.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shares a candid, experience-based checklist for developing real hand independence on the piano. You'll learn why going with the flow of the song matters, the difference between accompaniment and solo challenges, how to build instinctive skills, why to stop leaning on technology, and how singing the melody while playing in the left hand accelerates progress. He's equally clear about the things that DON'T help, the importance of reality checks, notating your work, and consistent practice. It closes with 5 important points to keep you on the right path. 🏫 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 lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 🥁 All our lessons on Rhythm (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT85tF6cGvZK6jc5u6yZg5uU 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Performance 00:46 Introduction 01:56 Going with the Flow of song 03:54 Challenges of accompaniment and solo 05:03 Develop instinctive skills 08:27 Stop using technology 10:13 Sing melody while playing in LH 13:18 Things that don’t help with hand independence 14:07 Have Reality checks 20:02 Notating things down 25:11 Importance of practice 33:12 5 Important Points 35:21 Summary ============================= 🎓 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 ============================= 💰…https://www.youtube.com/embed/hGaYw2hVmhA2024-03-06T08:00:07-08:002315 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/how-to-use-the-free-jacob-collier-audience-choir-detailed-guide2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/1kNbPNDx0iw/maxresdefault.jpgHow to Use the Free Jacob Collier Audience Choir (Detailed Guide)Learn how to use the amazing Jacob Collier Audience Choir Virtual Instrument by Native Instruments with our detailed overview of all its features.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music starts with a deliberately boring two-chord progression (Bb & D major) and shows you rhythmic strategies to make the journey between chords far more interesting. Along the way you'll practise inversions and develop arpeggio fillers in both ascending and descending directions with different groupings (groups of 3 and 4), and finish by transforming basic triads into richer extensions. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Performance 00:34 Introduction 03:25 Chord Explanation 05:12 Rhythm Pattern 07:23 Breaking Chords into Arpeggio 12:17 Block Chord + Arpeggio 14:33 Arpeggio Groups of 4 15:02 Arpeggio Groups of 3 18:23 Arpeggios Groups of 4 Ascending/Descending 19:18 Arpeggios Groups of 3 Ascending/Descending 20:29 Chords + Extensions 🏫 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 🔄 Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 🎶 All our Arpeggio Lessons (Playlist) ➡️ https://geni.us/Arpeggios 🥁 Read, Play & Count Quavers, Triplets & Sixteenth Notes ➡️ https://youtu.be/NzWhPzCtJwg ============================= 🎓 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://www.youtube.com/embed/-bi2CzpzUx02024-02-21T08:00:08-08:001644 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/an-improvisation-challenge-with-simple-note-groups-piano-hand-independence2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/ND0N9nmYmnE/maxresdefault.jpgAn Improvisation Challenge With Simple Note Groups (Piano Hand Independence)In this challenge you practise hand independence and learn to improvise with simple groups of notes on the piano.

This lesson shows you how to practise chord inversions through secondary dominants so your progressions instantly gain colour and motion. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music walks you through practising chord inversions while weaving in secondary dominants, a simple harmonic device that adds pull and sophistication to ordinary chord changes. You'll see how to set up the inversions across the keyboard, hear how a secondary dominant brightens the road into the next chord, and build a practice routine that trains both your hands and your ear at the same time. It's a practical way to make your everyday chords sound more interesting without learning a whole new vocabulary. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 Performance 00:21 Introduction 2:12 Chord Progression & Voicing 12:19 Arpeggio Patterns (HMLM) 14:57 Melodic using Inversions 17:03 Repeating the Top Note 18:17 Floating the Top Note 20:29 Melodic Shapes ============================= 📹 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/…https://www.youtube.com/embed/LhUeSdVFFfw2023-12-06T08:00:11-08:001392 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/the-5-pillars-of-piano-accompaniment-for-any-genre2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/Linkol5iv2Q/maxresdefault.jpgThe 5 Pillars of Piano Accompaniment for ANY GenreLearn 5 pillars of piano accompaniment — ballads, arpeggios, march and dance — that let you back a vocalist, choir, band, or yourself in any genre. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music uses an inspiring chord progression to dive into the real challenges of piano accompaniment — for a vocalist, choir, band, or when you sing and play at the same time. You'll learn 5 techniques that each start from a basic rhythm pattern and progress into different time feels using simple beat-division concepts. Recommended for pianists at all skill levels, the lesson covers syncopation, grooving and following the drummer across ballads, arpeggios, march and dance feels. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 Performance 01:00 Introduction 02:32 Chord Progression 04:54 Ballad Chords 06:13 Exploring Time Feels 07:57 Executing Eight Notes (Quaver Feel) 09:18 Dividing by 3 (Triplets) 10:00 Sixteenth Notes (Semiquavers) 12:08 Time Feels with Shakers 12:54 Basic Piano Arpeggios 18:01 Following the Bongos 20:33 Marching on the Piano 23:35 Dance Rhythm Patterns (Tresillo) 25:29 Syncopation vs Grooving 28:04 Following the Drummer 28:55 We will Rock You 35:21 Revision & Conclusion ============================= 📹 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://www.youtube.com/embed/Linkol5iv2Q2023-12-02T08:00:12-08:002206 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/how-to-choose-the-right-scale-key-for-a-song-as-a-singer-pianist2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/rFINFoD9tQ8/maxresdefault.jpgHow to Choose the Right Scale (Key) for a Song as a Singer & PianistPicking the right scale for a song is a make-or-break skill for every singer and pianist — here's how the pros do it. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music brainstorms and navigates the challenge of how to figure out the scale for a song, using tried-and-tested professional strategies for studio recordings and stage performance. You'll understand the music theory behind scales and keys, and learn how to work with other musicians in an ensemble so the key suits everyone — especially the singer. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 Introduction 01:15 Difference between SCALE & KEY 01:59 What is SCALE? 03:55 What is KEY? 04:41 Playing same INTERVALS in different KEY 06:08 How to Choose a SCALE 08:20 Famous Musicians Common KEY 09:01 How to CHOOSE the KEY as a SINGER being with other MUSICIAN 09:22 How Guitarist Usually Choose Scale 11:28 Usual KEY for WIND & BRASS Instruments 12:16 What actually is VOCAL RANGE? 16:02 What should you TRANSPOSE:- SONG or INSTRUMENT? 18:09 How to TRANSPOSE? 20:17 PUSH Yourself as a SINGER & PIANIST 24:20 SCALES I Prefer using for Different GENRES 25:45 How to COMMUNICATE with other MUSICIANS? ============================= 📹 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 👂 Ear Training lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/EarTraining 🎹 All our lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC ============================= 🎓 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 📞…https://www.youtube.com/embed/rFINFoD9tQ82023-11-29T08:00:11-08:001747 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/make-any-chord-flow-tritone-inversions-with-hybrid-arpeggio-patterns-piano2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/P_Xw-gpr_s0/maxresdefault.jpgMake Any Chord Flow: Tritone Inversions With Hybrid Arpeggio Patterns (Piano)Turn stiff chord shapes into flowing lines — this lesson practises chord inversions through the tritone interval using hybrid arpeggio patterns on the piano. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shows you how to drill chord inversions in a more musical way, using the tritone as a guide to move between shapes and hybrid arpeggio patterns to keep everything flowing. You'll build fluency with inversions across the keyboard, blend hand-to-hand arpeggio figures, and develop the kind of smooth movement that makes any chord sound connected instead of blocky. It's a focused arpeggio and inversion workout that upgrades both your technique and the way your chords actually sound. 🏫 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/ #ChordInversions #Tritone #PianoArpeggioshttps://www.youtube.com/embed/P_Xw-gpr_s02023-11-25T08:00:07-08:001353 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/make-one-piano-chord-sound-beautiful-thirds-cadences-extensions-voicings2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/36VpJUHPDr8/maxresdefault.jpgMake One Piano Chord Sound Beautiful: Thirds, Cadences, Extensions & VoicingsA single major or minor triad can sound rich and beautiful on its own — in this lesson you'll learn how thirds, cadences, voicings and extended harmony turn one "boring" chord into endless colour. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shows how to dress up a static tonic chord using diatonic thirds, cadences, a root-and-fifth pivot with spread thirds, grace notes, turns and riff-style chord melodies. From there you'll explore add, suspended and extended chords, plus bonus quartal and quintal voicings. The big payoff: you'll be able to accompany a melody-driven song over an almost-drone background and keep it interesting — all from one chord. 🏫 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 🎼 How to Use Cadences - Theory & Technique (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT_sKjWd1c7K_S55cZ15jAKI 🏋🏽 Exercise to Practice Thirds ➡️ https://youtu.be/dKeSBOU_PDo ➕ Add vs Sus vs Extensions ➡️ https://youtu.be/o2hj9IfeGkA 🪗 Chord Voicing with Quartals & More ➡️ https://youtu.be/r8B8dTIQX1I ============================= 🎓 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 ============================= ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Performance 00:16 Tackling a "Boring" Tonic Chord 02:54 Using Diatonic Thirds 06:05 Application in Blues 07:19 Using Cadences 11:13 Root & Fifth Pivot with Spread Thirds 14:57 Chord Melodies - Grace Notes & Turns 16:22 Chord Melodies - Riffs 19:03 Add, Suspended & Extensions 23:32 Bonus - Quartal & Quintal Voicing 26:36 Quintals for the Left Hand 28:25 Revision 💰 Donate on PayPal ➡️ https://geni.us/DonatePayPal 📸 Instagram ➡️…https://www.youtube.com/embed/36VpJUHPDr82023-11-22T08:00:10-08:001752 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/practice-intervals-in-the-real-world-hear-them-in-context-with-chords-ear-training2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/DQEIvWWLIs8/maxresdefault.jpgPractice Intervals in the 'Real World': Hear Them in Context With Chords (Ear Training)Intervals are far easier to recognise when you hear them the way they actually appear in music — inside chords. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music teaches you how to sing and identify musical intervals along with major and minor chords, using a 'real-world' process. You'll learn to figure out the interval — both ascending and descending — while improving your music theory and your recognition of notes on the piano.

After the sheet music is ready (which we made on our own!), we then figure out how to harmonize the melody with different chord progressions & cadences. Of course, there are a few debatable questions: What is the key, scale, time feel, and is there a pickup measure? We then transpose the music to multiple scales, keys & meters, thus making the ultimate music workout for ourselves on the piano. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 Introduction 02:30 Transcription of given Melody 03:50 Melody Line 04:48 How I approach Transcription? 05:47 Finding notes of Melody 10:07 Finding ROOT! 14:45 Notes of 1st LINE 14:55 Notes of 2nd LINE 16:30 Figuring NOTE DURATION 18:43 TRANSCRIPTION 24:32 Debatable Points 26:43 Is the KEY C, F or G? 30:45 Which MODE? 33:33 Harmonic Analysis 39:17 TRANSPOSING the Melody 41:59 Changing TIME SIGNATURE 44:02 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/ #EarTraining…https://www.youtube.com/embed/QAVJV30AT4Y2023-11-08T08:00:09-08:002774 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/do-these-10-things-before-playing-chords-for-a-song-on-piano2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/6NtFJounHwQ/maxresdefault.jpgDo These 10 Things BEFORE Playing Chords for a Song on PianoDiscover 10 things to do before you tackle a chord progression for a section or an entire song.

We take a melody in F major and harmonise it first with respect to the melody notes, looking at weak and strong beats. Then, without considering the melody, we use classical cadences (authentic, deceptive and plagal), jazz 2-5-1 cadences and the four pop chords in cyclic order (1-5-6-4, 5-6-4-1, 6-4-1-5, 4-1-5-6). 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 Performance 00:26 Introduction 01:51 Melody on F major 03:15 Two Ways of Harmonising the Melody 04:10 What are WEAK and STRONG beats? 05:23 Harmonising w.r.t.

Once the voicings are in place you'll explore accents and grouping of arpeggios across two division systems, triplets and semiquavers, deliberately playing 'against' the standard divisions to create polyrhythmic phrasing. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Performance 00:53 Chord Voicing & Time Feels 03:52 Right Hand Chord (7sus4) 04:20 Chords in the LH 05:43 Voicing Technique 1 (Extensions) 08:44 RH Arpeggios 12:27 Voicing Technique 2 (Ninths) 15:59 “Open-ended” chords 16:44 Voicing Technique 3 (Jazz Tensions) 20:06 Going over all 3 Voicing techniques 20:58 Dividing the beat & Sets (Accents) 22:21 Division vs Note Sets (Patterns) 24:02 Sets of 3 & Divide by 4 28:56 Sets of 5 & Divide by 4 31:09 Sets of 2 & Divide by 4 31:43 Sets of 4 & Divide by 3 33:40 Sets of 3 & Divide by 3 33:58 Sets of 5 & Divide by 3 35:28 Conclusion 🏫 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 Hand Independence Lessons ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT-On4vodpAoZqTlWDCS5jv7 🎵 Spread Voicing of Chords ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT_K6G85ibBIRn4K63BDlbTE 🎹 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…https://www.youtube.com/embed/BYsa73GUqYM2023-09-13T09:00:10-07:002194 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/the-easy-binary-trick-to-sight-read-count-rhythm-piano-theory2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/lJMO2Kbqh88/maxresdefault.jpgThe Easy Binary Trick to Sight-Read & Count Rhythm (Piano Theory)In this rhythm theory lesson, we look at an easy binary strategy to count and read rhythm patterns using all the beat division systems available in music: quavers, triplets and semiquavers.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music walks you through Indian-style arpeggios with triplets, building from a fifth-chord study and left-hand bass into basic eighth-note arpeggios, then eighth-note triplets and swing. From there you'll work through four Indian patterns (including a hemiola), six combo patterns mixing triplets with quavers and speed variations, and finish on a Roadhouse Blues feel. It's a deep, practical dive into triplet phrasing that will give your arpeggios a fresh, grooving character. 🎼 More Indian Triplet Music I've composed ➡️ https://riffs.jasonzacmusic.com/?filter=TIMEFEEL-%3ATriplet%3BPrimaryGenre-%3AIndian 🏫 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 ❸ What a Triplet Actually Is ➡️ https://youtu.be/l2z40W3_b7k 😻 Simple Beautiful Arpeggios ➡️ https://youtu.be/toLzes5QqTg 🎶 All our Arpeggios lessons (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT-BCpTe-KKSdiKlAFMvYNsH ============================= 🎓 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 ============================= ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Performance 01:06 Introduction 03:13 Fifth Chord Study 04:15 Left Hand Bass 05:32 Basic Arpeggios Using Eighth Notes 07:13 What is Swing? 10:55 Eighth Note Triplets 12:54 Indian Pattern 1 14:28 Indian Pattern 2 15:29 Indian Pattern 3 17:02 Indian Pattern 4 (Hemiola) 18:36 Combo Pattern 5 19:51 Combo Pattern 6 20:57 Combo Pattern 7 21:58 Combo Pattern 8 23:40 Combo…https://www.youtube.com/embed/ooYWdXHENSc2023-09-02T08:45:08-07:001654 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/5-concepts-you-must-know-in-used-to-be-young-by-miley-cyrus2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/DGMpWMDhoGU/maxresdefault.jpg5 Concepts You Must Know in 'Used to Be Young' by Miley Cyrus'Used to Be Young' by Miley Cyrus is a pop ballad packed with songwriting and long-forgotten music theory concepts across its verse, chorus and bridge. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music breaks down five elements he thinks make this song remarkable, covering both the theory and the songwriting secrets used throughout. From the beautifully voiced piano intro to the striking rhythmic figure in the bridge, you'll explore old-school chord techniques like secondary dominants and minor plagal cadences. It's a detailed song analysis that shows how much craft sits inside a great pop ballad. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 Performance 00:21 Introduction 02:16 Open Voicing Piano Intro 09:15 Secondary Dominants at Chorus 11:43 Minor Plagal Cadence & Borrowed Chords 12:58 Major 6 & Minor 6 chords 13:45 UTBY Interval Skip (Minor 6) 15:12 Vocal Genius at the Bridge 16:53 #9 & b9 sung consecutively over Ab7 19:19 Iconic Rhythmic Figure at the Breakdown 21:08 Conclusion ============================= 📹 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/…https://www.youtube.com/embed/DGMpWMDhoGU2023-08-30T09:00:09-07:001371 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/i-played-what-a-wonderful-world-in-all-12-keys-solo-piano2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/_mwv_SQiNdw/maxresdefault.jpgI Played "What a Wonderful World" in ALL 12 Keys (Solo Piano)"What a Wonderful World" is gorgeous in any key — so I played it in all 12, and had a lot of fun doing it.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shows you how singing while you play forces your hands to stay independent, exposing timing gaps and helping you fix them with an audible before-and-after. You'll combine playing and singing in layers, training your ear at the same time so you can hold a melody in your voice while your hands run their own parts — a powerful drill for coordination and groove. It's a combined hand-independence and ear-training lesson that uses your voice to lock in steady, confident timing at 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/ #PianoLessons #HandIndependence #EarTraining #SingAndPlay #Timinghttps://www.youtube.com/embed/PT5c_Uh8_Jg2023-08-26T09:00:11-07:001467 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/proper-piano-posture-staccato-the-flicking-trampoline-touch-stop-stiff-hands2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/ucFX1WgD44M/maxresdefault.jpgProper Piano Posture & Staccato: The Flicking & Trampoline Touch (Stop Stiff Hands)Stiff, heavy staccato? Proper posture plus the “flicking” and “trampoline” techniques give you a light, bouncy touch on the piano. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music covers how to sit and hold your hands correctly, then teaches staccato through two intuitive images: flicking and a trampoline-like bounce. You'll learn how good posture sets your hands up to move freely, how the flicking and trampoline techniques produce crisp, effortless staccato, and how to practise them without tension creeping in. It's a hands-on fix for anyone whose short, detached notes feel stiff or laboured. 🏫 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/ #PianoLessons #PianoTechnique #Staccato #PianoPosture #LearnPianohttps://www.youtube.com/embed/ucFX1WgD44M2023-08-23T09:00:08-07:001622 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/rock-piano-power-chords-with-accents-hand-independence-workout2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/_QoOmo1QBoc/maxresdefault.jpgRock Piano Power Chords With Accents (Hand Independence Workout)Rock piano gets its punch from accents — in this lesson you'll play power chords in the left hand and a simple pop progression in the right, landing hits on every beat (on and off) to build serious hand independence. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music teaches the concept of accents step by step: you start with power chords as eighths and quarters, hold whole notes in the right hand, then systematically accent beat 1, 2, 3 and 4, combine them (1+3, the 2+4 "snare" hits, all four downbeats), and finish with Tresillo and a modified two-bar variation.

You'll build a left-hand walking bass, harmonise with thirds in the right hand, stack roots and fifths, add off-beat rhythm, and spice things up with grace notes and ghost notes — then apply it to tunes like Amazing Grace and Twinkle Twinkle. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Performance 00:14 Introduction 00:47 Traditional Chords to Country 02:12 Bb Major 02:52 The Chord Progression 03:43 Counting Waltz 3/4 with Eighth Notes 05:05 Left-Hand Walking Bass 07:39 Right Hand Chords with Bass Line 08:11 Harmonizing with Thirds in Right Hand 11:12 Stacking Root and Fifth 14:06 Off Beat Rhythm in Left Hand 17:12 Amazing Grace variation 17:56 Twinkle Twinkle 18:07 Happy Birthday 🏫 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 🤠 'Old School' Country Rhythm Essentials ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vg2mvAcIyBg 🔄 Inversion Practice ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3M4R6en-eRw 🥁 Rhythm Concepts & Patterns (Playlist) ➡️ https://geni.us/RhythmChops ============================= 🎓 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 ➡️…https://www.youtube.com/embed/rXr3IvEQ9Tk2023-08-12T08:45:08-07:001491 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/play-any-chord-progression-in-every-key-using-the-smoothest-inversions2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/rAtXhPCjjsg/maxresdefault.jpgPlay ANY Chord Progression in Every Key Using the Smoothest InversionsGet prepared to play any chord progression, in any key, using the most efficient inversion movement — no more fumbling between chords. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shows you how to play chord progressions from any key and scale using the smoothest possible inversion movement. The study is built on truly knowing the major scale — its intervals, triads and inversions. Working in Eb major, you'll visualise the scale, build its triads ('triad worms'), identify chord types and degrees, predict chords by ear and theory, then shift between them starting from root, 1st and 2nd inversions — and apply it to popular chord patterns. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Performance 00:25 Introduction 03:20 Visualising Eb Major 08:35 Triads of Eb Major 10:34 Triad Worms 11:40 Chord Types & Degrees - Major, Minor & Diminished 12:38 Predicting Chords by Ear & Theory 14:39 Playing any Chord Progression 16:09 Chord Inversions 17:13 Spread Voicing 18:31 Shifting between Chords 25:57 Starting with the 1st Inversion 26:52 Starting with the 2nd Inversion (The easy one?) 28:13 Popular chord patterns 30:51 Revision & Conclusion 🏫 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 🔄 Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 🎹 All about Cadences & Chord Progressions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT_sKjWd1c7K_S55cZ15jAKI 👂🏽 Ear Training Strategies to Learn Chord Progressions ➡️ https://youtu.be/ZElZ2wbnJjY ============================= 🎓 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 ============================= 💰…https://www.youtube.com/embed/rAtXhPCjjsg2023-08-09T09:00:08-07:002033 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/train-both-hands-with-a-simple-chord-progression-bass-line-piano2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/WolXrJ9YDR0/maxresdefault.jpgTrain Both Hands With a Simple Chord Progression & Bass Line (Piano)Build hand independence on the piano by pairing 4 simple right-hand chords with a repeating left-hand bass line across various rhythm patterns. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music teaches a hand-independence piano lesson that takes 4 simple chords in the right hand and supports them with a repeating bass line in the left. By cycling through various rhythm patterns under those steady chords, you'll train your two hands to work together — the foundation of confident piano playing. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 Performance 00:25 Introduction & Goals 02:32 E minor Scale & Chords 04:30 Dynamics & Feeling 05:21 Left Hand Bass Pattern 06:47 Sing before you Play 10:07 Displacing Beat 1 (&) 12:05 Organic Strategies 13:34 Displacing to Beat 2 14:47 & of the 2 15:42 Beat 3 of the bar 16:18 & of the 3 17:43 Beat 4 of the bar 19:01 & of the 4 21:02 All Variations played Slow ============================= 📹 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/ #HandIndependence #PianoExercises #PianoLessonhttps://www.youtube.com/embed/WolXrJ9YDR02023-08-05T09:00:11-07:001429 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/what-do-major-minor-really-mean-the-happy-vs-sad-sound-explained-piano2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/5kCvnI5GldU/maxresdefault.jpgWhat Do Major & Minor Really Mean?

This detailed Ear Training tutorial focuses on the Elements of Rhythmic, Harmonic & Melodic Ear Training and what you need to do as a musician in order to transcribe them. We follow a stepwise approach in this lesson so that you don't have to stress too much if you haven't got the exact chord - G minMaj7 for instance! You will get a road map to move forward as a student of music. Along the way we talk about perfect pitch myths, Indian swaras and relative pitch, melodic curves, how to transpose, functional harmony, instrument families, articulations and the importance of singing. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 Performance 00:14 Introduction 00:53 Ear Training vs Music Theory 02:13 Perfect Pitch Myths 03:49 Indian Swaras and Relative pitch 05:27 Cluster of Notes - Scales 06:26 Let’s not forget rhythm! 06:47 Apps or Not? 07:42 The 3 Pillars of Music 09:52 Macro vs Micro Ear Training 10:33 Understanding Time Feel 11:55 Melodic Transcription Flowchart 12:04 Scales vs Keys vs Modes 14:30 Melodic Curves 17:05 How to Transpose 18:28 Chords and Harmony 21:18 Chord Type 22:24 Functional Harmony 23:40 “Density” of Music 25:33 Finding the “Right Music” 26:42 Organic Ear Training Strategies 26:58 Instrument Families 29:18 Articulations 29:53 Build your Curiosity 30:35 Jamming and Collaborating 32:10 Methods of learning Music - Listen, Write & Play 34:32 Importance of Singing 35:39 Final words of advice ============================= 📹 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/embed/ryzemkqNtz82023-07-29T09:00:10-07:002296 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/odd-time-signatures-on-piano-how-to-count-feel-them-finally-make-them-groove2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/oA5jvtq9Neo/maxresdefault.jpgOdd Time Signatures on Piano: How to Count & Feel Them (Finally Make Them Groove)Odd time signatures throwing you off? This lesson shows you how to count and, more importantly, feel them so 5/4, 7/8 and friends finally groove on piano. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music breaks down odd time signatures, explaining how to count them clearly and then how to feel the pulse so they stop sounding awkward. You'll learn how to group the beats inside an odd meter, where the natural accents fall, and how to internalise the feel so playing in odd time becomes comfortable rather than confusing. It's the key to making unusual time signatures groove as naturally as 4/4. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 Introduction 00:27 How I feel Odd Time? 03:39 What you will learn? 05:03 Counting & Feeling 7/8 09:39 Acting a bit Crazy 10:13 Jamming on 7/8 12:03 What is a Time Signature or Meter? 13:36 Counting & feeling 5/4 17:57 Counting & feeling 9/8 21:24 Finger Drills on 9/8 23:26 Counting & feeling 11/8 28:17 Counting & feeling 13/8 31:58 Counting & feeling 15/8 36:17 Counting & feeling 17/8 39:22 Final words of Advice ============================= 📹 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…https://www.youtube.com/embed/oA5jvtq9Neo2023-07-27T09:00:07-07:002545 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/best-music-setup-for-zoom-audio-settings-explained2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/BdV-8GvI0KY/maxresdefault.jpgBest Music Setup for Zoom: Audio Settings ExplainedDo you use Zoom for a Music lesson as a teacher or student?

You’d sometimes like all your settings to instantly recall - Tracks & Folders, FX, Project Settings, Edit & Mixer presets, to name a few. We also don’t want the envelopes (automation) and items from the previous project (in most cases).

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music breaks down the classic disco feel piece by piece, so you can stop struggling with the timing and get both hands moving together with confidence. You'll work through the steady left-hand foundation, the off-beat chord stabs in the right hand, and how the two parts interlock to create that unmistakable groove. Each layer is isolated first, then combined slowly. It's a hands-on technique lesson that turns a famous groove into a practical exercise for your coordination, timing and feel 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/ #PianoLessons #DiscoPiano #PianoGroove #FunkPiano #HandIndependencehttps://www.youtube.com/embed/9ETn9Y4wX_o2023-07-13T09:00:08-07:001029 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/5-piano-chord-voicings-that-instantly-sound-richer-spread-slash-add9-7ths-quartal2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/r8B8dTIQX1I/maxresdefault.jpg5 Piano Chord Voicings That Instantly Sound Richer (Spread, Slash, Add9, 7ths & Quartal)Piano chord voicings are the fastest way to make a plain progression sound rich, open and professional — and in this lesson you'll learn 5 of them step by step. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music walks you through five essential voicing techniques that transform basic triads into full, colourful piano chords. You'll start with the essential theory, then build spread (open) voicings, slash chords, add9 chords stacked in fifths, diatonic seventh chords, and finally modern quartal voicings. Each one is demonstrated so you can hear exactly how the sound opens up. By the end you'll have a practical toolkit you can apply to any song to make your harmony sound deeper and more interesting 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 🎹 All our lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory 👂 Ear Training lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/EarTraining ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Performance 00:25 Introduction 01:52 Essential Theory 04:12 Spread Chord Voicing 09:24 Slash Chords 13:41 Add 9 (Stacked Fifths) 18:23 Diatonic Seventh Chords 23:13 Quartal Chords 30:58 Conclusion ============================= 🎓 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/ #ChordVoicings…https://www.youtube.com/embed/r8B8dTIQX1I2023-07-08T08:45:11-07:001903 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/how-to-play-good-times-by-chic-on-bass2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/hS-_H38LHzY/maxresdefault.jpgHow To Play 🎶 Good Times by CHIC on Bass 🎸🎼 Beat Division and Rhythmic Anticipation: https://youtu.be/Vf-RgfoJ0kg 🎸 More Bass Guitar Tutorials here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT-I7UTYJOHKX8wmLREor07A 🎓 Learn Music With Nathaniel School of Music & Jason Zac: 📇 Courses, Workshops, Videos, or Private lessons: https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 🎼 Register for our virtual workshops & lessons: https://geni.us/UpcomingClasses 📹 Our Video Courses (Lifetime Bundle): https://www.nathanielschool.com/members-videos 🎶 Learn all about our flagship course, "Music Method": https://www.nathanielschool.com/musicmethod 📚 All our YouTube lessons (1000+) categorised by skill level, topic & genre all in one place: https://www.nathanielschool.com/freelessons 🐣 All our Beginner Piano Lessons in one Place: https://www.nathanielschool.com/free-lessons/tags/beginner-1 🕰️ 00:00 Performance 00:21 Introduction 01:41 The Pulse 04:40 Dorian climb 05:10 Anticipation of Rhythm 08:32 Final lick 09:29 Revision 09:59 Conclusion 📧 Customized & Private Classes: music@nathanielschool.com 📞 +919845465411 (Mobile & WhatsApp) 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Follow me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/jasonzac 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music: https://geni.us/AbsenceYouTubeJZB 💰 Donate on PayPal: https://geni.us/DonatePayPalhttps://www.youtube.com/embed/hS-_H38LHzY2023-07-05T09:00:08-07:00674 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/piano-hand-independence-interval-theory-one-modern-pop-drill2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/HTeiwowXVlI/maxresdefault.jpgPiano Hand Independence + Interval Theory (One Modern Pop Drill)Build piano hand independence and learn interval theory at the same time with one inspiring Modern Pop (EDM) exercise using just 4 notes.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music starts you off with a steady left-hand arpeggio, then opens up the right hand to explore melody, dynamics and dialogue.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music takes a single G minor chord and shows you how to develop serious hand independence by cycling through multiple left-hand bass-line variations. Combine quarter and half notes, tied notes and rests in the left-hand bass line. The right hand plays G minor with a steady pulse, quaver movements and staccato, while the left hand develops 'Sa Re Ga' note combinations. Eighth-note variations and a 'Another Brick in the Wall' application pull everything together. It's a structured, repeatable workout that genuinely strengthens the independence of both hands. 🏫 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 lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 🥁 All our lessons on Rhythm (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT85tF6cGvZK6jc5u6yZg5uU 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Performance 00:10 Introduction 02:18 G minor Chord 03:48 Left Hand Bass Notes 04:49 Combining Quarter Notes (Crotchets) and Half Notes (Minims) 05:16 Variation 1 07:44 Variation 2 09:05 Variation 3 09:23 Variation 4 - Using Tied Notes 09:43 Variation 5 - Using Rests 10:10 Combinations 10:45 Quaver Movements in Right Hand 11:41 Staccato in the Right Hand 14:04 Bass Line Combos with Sa Re Ga 16:29 Eighth Note Variation 1 in the Left Hand 18:46 Eighth Note Variation 2 19:08 Eighth Note Variation 3 19:49 Eighth Note Variation 4 22:45 Another Brick in the Wall 23:57 Another Brick in the Wall - Variation 2 24:54 Another Brick in the…https://www.youtube.com/embed/wB1GhC1nOtM2023-05-04T09:00:08-07:001650 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/relative-vs-parallel-minor-on-piano-two-ways-to-unlock-new-moods2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/tlq5Y00jbyg/maxresdefault.jpgRelative vs Parallel Minor on Piano: Two Ways to Unlock New MoodsRelative and parallel minor scales are two different doors into the minor sound — this lesson shows you the feel each one unlocks and how to use them on the piano. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music explains what relative and parallel minor scales really are, starting from the sound and mood they create rather than just the theory labels. You'll hear how a relative minor shares notes with its major key for a smooth, related colour, while a parallel minor keeps the same home note but darkens the whole mood — and you'll learn when to reach for each. It's a clear, sound-first theory lesson that turns two often-confused terms into practical choices for your playing and writing. 🏫 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/ #PianoLessons #MusicTheory #MinorScales #PianoScales #MusicMoodshttps://www.youtube.com/embed/tlq5Y00jbyg2023-04-29T09:00:10-07:001964 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/blackbird-piano-tutorial-the-beatles-learn-every-section-note-for-note2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/mTZehU4dBlQ/maxresdefault.jpgBlackbird Piano Tutorial (The Beatles): Learn Every Section, Note for NoteLearn to play The Beatles' Blackbird on piano with the exact fingerstyle patterns from the original — every section, from intro to bridge.

This detailed music theory lesson untangles all of them once and for all. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music walks you through how scales and keys differ, what key signatures actually do, and breaks down the key of C as a working example. Then it's into the part everyone finds confusing: modes (both relative and parallel), and finally how Indian ragas relate to — and differ from — Western scales.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shows you how to turn a simple chord chart into a real accompaniment, layering complexity step by step so you always have a version that fits your level. You'll start with steady block chords, then add broken-chord and arpeggiated patterns, left-hand bass movement and rhythmic variation — the same toolkit that lets you back yourself (or a singer) on almost any song. It's a practical accompaniment lesson that gives you ready-to-use patterns instead of just one fixed arrangement. 🏫 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/ #InMyLife #TheBeatles #PianoAccompanimenthttps://www.youtube.com/embed/2htLkZMCP_42023-04-03T09:00:11-07:002240 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/the-daily-piano-chord-exercise-climbing-inversions-with-many-rhythm-patterns2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/QtpsiSkWyZM/maxresdefault.jpgThe Daily Piano Chord Exercise: Climbing Inversions With Many Rhythm PatternsMake your chord changes effortless with this daily piano exercise — an ascending and descending chord-climbing drill played through a whole menu of rhythm patterns.

You'll practise the patterns at different speeds, explore time-signature variations, and move the chord pattern between the right and left hands so the exercise trains your harmony, rhythm and coordination all at once. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:41 Climbing chord progression 03:13 Playing Patterns in different speeds 04:42 Broken Chords 06:01 Arpeggios 06:51 Combo Pattern 08:00 Time Signature Variations 10:14 Left Hand chord movement with Right Hand 11:53 Playing Pattern in Left Hand 13:23 Revision 14:11 Conclusion 🏫 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 🎹 How to Transpose ANY Melody on the Piano ➡️ https://youtu.be/Px1Dn3Q1x6w ♫ Major Scales, Circle of Fifths & Chord Inversions ➡️ https://youtu.be/2EyFNq8I88c 🔄 Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC ============================= 🎓 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/…https://www.youtube.com/embed/QtpsiSkWyZM2023-03-25T09:00:10-07:00879 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/slash-chords-vs-inversions-on-piano-the-difference-that-makes-chords-richer2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/UhO-cWQLC-k/maxresdefault.jpgSlash Chords vs Inversions on Piano: The Difference That Makes Chords RicherSlash chords and inversions look similar on paper but do very different things — this lesson finally untangles them so you can choose the right one to make your chords sound richer. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music explains what a slash chord actually is, how it differs from a standard inversion, and why the bass note you choose changes the whole colour of a chord. You'll see clear examples of when a slash chord adds tension or a smooth bass movement, versus when a simple inversion is all you need — plus how both tools help you connect chords more musically. It's a practical theory lesson that turns two confusing terms into reliable harmony moves you can use straight away on the piano. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 Performance 00:35 Introduction 02:14 What are Chord Inversions? 03:14 Visualising in a Circle 04:37 Easy shifting between chords 06:06 Voice Leading 07:18 Spread Chords (Open Voicing) 10:30 What is a Slash Chord 12:18 Levels of Slash Chords 15:31 Fun Improvisation 18:31 Chord Tension & Resolution Drill 19:34 Comparing Inversions with Slash Chords ============================= 📹 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 &…https://www.youtube.com/embed/UhO-cWQLC-k2023-03-22T09:00:12-07:001408 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/one-mammoth-lesson-major-scales-all-12-keys-circle-of-fifths-chord-inversions2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/2EyFNq8I88c/maxresdefault.jpgOne Mammoth Lesson: Major Scales (All 12 Keys), Circle of Fifths & Chord InversionsIn this piano tutorial we play a chord progression using 2 popular cadences, plagal and authentic (perfect), across the entire Circle of Fifths.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music takes you deep into rhythm on the piano, building from simple chord roots in the left hand all the way to advanced displacement. You'll work through rhythmic subtraction (removing specific beats to create space), apply it to both major and minor pentatonic melodies with chords, and then learn beat displacement and anticipation along with rhythmic delay. It's a complete workout that will permanently change how interesting your accompaniment sounds. 🏫 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 lessons on Rhythm (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT85tF6cGvZK6jc5u6yZg5uU 🎹 All our lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Performance 00:20 Lesson Introduction 03:16 E major Arpeggio in Quavers 04:01 Chord Progression in LH (Major Scale) 05:02 Chord Roots in Left Hand (Basic) 05:45 Minor Chord Progression 06:33 Focussing on Dynamics 07:11 Rhythmic Subtraction 08:03 Removing Beat 1 of Bar 2 08:37 Subtract & of 1 09:52 Subtract Beat 2 of Bar 1 11:44 Subtracting Beat 3 with Minor Chords 13:21 Simplifying the Right Hand 13:57 Minor Pentatonic Melody with Chords 15:15 Subtraction added to the Minor Pentatonic 15:50 Q & A - Playing with context 17:31 Major Pentatonic Melody with Chords 18:27 Subtraction added to the Major Pentatonic 20:41 Beat Displacement - Anticipation 25:06 Rhythmic Delay 26:37 Conclusion ============================= 🎓 Learn…https://www.youtube.com/embed/Vf-RgfoJ0kg2023-02-23T08:00:09-08:001842 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/how-to-forge-a-strong-bond-between-melody-chords-composition-theory2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/P35zTEvb3Xw/maxresdefault.jpgHow to Forge a Strong Bond Between Melody & Chords (Composition Theory)In this Music Theory & Composition Tutorial, you will learn how to form a significant bond between Melody & Harmony using simple Chord Progressions.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music takes this lick apart to show what makes it sound so refined — the chords, the movement between them, and the classical-flavoured choices that give it depth.

The exercise is demonstrated on the F major and G major scales (with tips on correct fingering and posture), played slowly for clarity, and then taken into the minor keys. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Performance 00:16 Introduction 03:39 Let’s learn F & G Major Scales 05:23 Melody Line 1 on F Major 09:17 Left-Hand Chords 11:13 Rhythm Variations for Left Hand 12:06 Next 4 bars (Melody) 18:39 Simplified Version for Left Hand Harmony 20:15 Tips on correct fingering and posture 21:56 Played really slow 23:06 Exercise on G Major 26:50 Practicing on the Minor keys 🏫 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 💪🏽 Hand Independence (Playlist) ➡️ https://geni.us/HandIndependence 🎶 All our Piano Exercises (Beginner → Advanced) ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoExercises 🥁 Rhythm Concepts & Patterns (Playlist) ➡️ https://geni.us/RhythmChops ============================= 🎓 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/…https://www.youtube.com/embed/OB8c3TZU8kM2022-04-25T09:00:13-07:001741 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/the-piano-engine-build-finger-independence-with-one-epic-theme2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/iGl1VT80c9I/maxresdefault.jpgThe Piano 'Engine': Build Finger Independence With One Epic ThemeLearn one epic piano theme that doubles as the ultimate finger-independence workout - we call it 'The Engine'. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music breaks down what finger independence really is, then builds it step by step: a left-hand pulse with the thumb, sustained whole and half notes with the pinky, sixteenth notes under the right-hand thumb, and finally the melody layered over the moving engine. By the end you'll have a satisfying piece to play AND noticeably more control over each finger - the kind of independence that powers grooves, accompaniment and solo playing. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Performance 01:12 Introduction 01:12 What is “The Engine” 02:34 What is Finger Independence 04:25 Left hand pulse 05:22 Pulse with thumb & whole notes with pinky 05:59 Pulse with thumb & half notes with pinky 08:56 Sixteenth Notes with the Right Hand Thumb 16:20 Melody with the Engine 23:00 Revision of the Piano lesson 🏫 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 🙌🏽 Hand Independence (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT-On4vodpAoZqTlWDCS5jv7 ============================= 🎓 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/ #FingerIndependence #PianoTechnique #PianoExerciseshttps://www.youtube.com/embed/iGl1VT80c9I2022-04-11T09:00:14-07:001609 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/my-ideal-60-minute-piano-practice-routine-creative-technical2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/gwX4hFEGc94/maxresdefault.jpgMy Ideal 60-Minute Piano Practice Routine (Creative + Technical)Here's a 60-minute practice session that works really well for Jason's own piano routine, balancing creativity and technique. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shares the 60-minute routine he genuinely uses. He starts with 15 minutes of creative, improvised playing, staying alert for sparks that could become new songs or riffs, then 10 minutes on a challenging exercise while he is in the zone, such as thirds. Next he spends 15 minutes playing a popular piece in all 12 keys, sometimes transposing to minor, Dorian or Mixolydian, followed by 10 minutes on another exercise like spread chords (open voicing), and a final 15 minutes playing his own compositions to stay in touch and prepare for future recordings. 🏫 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/ #PianoPractice #PracticeRoutine #PianoTechnique #Musicianship #PianoLessonshttps://www.youtube.com/embed/gwX4hFEGc942022-04-05T09:00:12-07:003515 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/3-funky-piano-rhythm-patterns-over-the-andalusian-cadence-part-82026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/3_fuHe224nE/maxresdefault.jpg3 Funky Piano Rhythm Patterns Over the Andalusian Cadence (Part 8)Learn 2 incredible sixteenth-note syncopated rhythm patterns for groovy, disco, reggae and even EDM piano, plus a bonus.

In Part 6 of the Andalusian Cadence series, Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shows you how to bring real Flamenco feel to the piano. First you'll get comfortable with the chords, then learn a syncopated, percussion-like pattern (Pattern 1). Pattern 2 translates a standard Flamenco guitar style onto the keyboard — a technique most pianists never think to try.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music uses all the contrasting elements the piano offers to play arpeggios together in both hands over the Andalusian cadence. From there you'll develop an epic melody on top using simple, accessible improvisation concepts so the whole thing feels musical rather than mechanical.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music connects the essential theory of swaras with intervals, works in the key of D, and explores the Re and Ga swaras before opening up the 72 Melakartha ragas. The Carnatic piano finger drill then lets you play through the combinations, with interesting variations along the way.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shows how to compose with bass pedal tones on the piano across five approaches: cadence drones (plagal and authentic), modal drones (Mixolydian, Lydian, Phrygian, Mixo b6), line-cliché drones in upper and lower registers, melodic-chord drones with inversions and suspensions, and modal interchange over a single bass drone. He finishes with practical tips: use riffs and grooves in the bass, extend a chord's length with a drone, and reserve drones for a specific section to set it apart. It's a complete toolkit for richer, more cinematic harmony. 🏫 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 Music Theory lessons (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9UnPiTktveaPrye0exDY9N ============================= 🎓 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 ============================= ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Intro Performance 00:39 Introduction 05:56 Cadence Drones - Plagal & Authentic 10:59 Modal Drones - Mixolydian, Lydian, Phrygian, Mixo b6 16:31 Line Cliche Drones - Upper & Lower Register 21:36 Melodic Chord Drones - Inversions & Suspensions 26:30 Modal Interchange with a Single Bass Drone 32:07 Final Tip #1 - Use Riffs & Grooves in the Bass 33:11 Final Tip #2 - Extend the Length of a Chord with Drones 34:49 Final Tip #3 - Use Drones for a Specific Section of a Song 35:46 Conclusion 💰 Donate on PayPal ➡️ https://geni.us/DonatePayPal…https://www.youtube.com/embed/KybiSNfBMBM2022-01-08T08:00:11-08:002232 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/5-exciting-musical-challenges-to-level-up-your-piano-theory-ear-technique2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/33KZsRVPjXg/maxresdefault.jpg5 Exciting Musical Challenges to Level Up Your Piano (Theory, Ear & Technique)Here are 5 musical challenges to improve your piano technique, ear training and music theory.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shares an easy composing approach with songwriting tips, then layers in advanced melody-writing tools: call and response, turnarounds, bass movement, rhythm patterns and time signatures.

The Harmony Trick That Unlocks New ColoursCan a single scale be both major and minor? This lesson answers the question and shows how that flexibility opens up richer, more surprising harmony on the piano. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music explores the curious idea of a scale that carries both major and minor qualities, and what that means for the chords and colours you can pull from it. You'll see how major and minor tonalities can share the same home, how this blurs the line between bright and dark, and how you can use it to add unexpected richness to your progressions. It's a mind-opening look at harmony that gives you fresh options the next time you compose or improvise. 🏫 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/ #HybridScale #MajorAndMinor #PianoHarmonyhttps://www.youtube.com/embed/KNIvbJK7YWo2021-12-16T08:00:16-08:001148 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/easy-christmas-piano-tutorial-accompaniment-solo-arrangement2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/UxKFxlT3GcY/maxresdefault.jpgEASY Christmas Piano Tutorial - Accompaniment & Solo ArrangementLearn how to play easy versions of your favorite Christmas songs & carols as a Piano accompaniment or Solo arrangement 🎼 Register for our virtual workshops & lessons: https://geni.us/UpcomingClasses 🎶 Learn about our flagship course, "Music Method": https://www.nathanielschool.com/musicmethod Listen to my arrangement of “Joy to the World” and my entire Christmas album🎄https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT_Wcia3ov9oHx9jDPtjdqBC All Christmas🌲Tutorials in one place: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9HU-N5Jy2d9gNoBATIr21r 📹 All our YouTube lessons (1000+) categorized by skill level, topic & genre all in one place: https://www.nathanielschool.com/freelessons 🎹 Members-Only Videos for Piano & Theory: https://geni.us/PianoCourse ► Subscribe to our channel: https://geni.us/NathanielYouTube ► Donate on PayPal: https://geni.us/DonatePayPal 📧 Customized & Private Classes: music@nathanielschool.com 📞 +917760456847 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Follow me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/jasonzac 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music: https://geni.us/AbsenceYouTubeJZB #ChristmasPiano #ChristmasCarols #PianoTutorialhttps://www.youtube.com/embed/UxKFxlT3GcY2021-12-14T20:24:20-08:002175 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/how-to-play-rudolph-the-red-nosed-reindeer-on-piano-easy-advanced-swing-blues2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/gtANmS8PxQQ/maxresdefault.jpgHow to Play "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" on Piano (Easy & Advanced Swing Blues)A bluesy piano tutorial on how to play "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer", from an easy version to advanced embellishments.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music takes the famous I V vi IV pop progression and shows you how to make it sound a lot more exciting using a range of music theory concepts. You'll explore Plagal cadences, passing bass and line cliches, epic and EDM cadences, secondary dominants, and the "2ing the 5 and 5ing the 1" move. A bonus section reshapes the progression without changing the chords — using fifths, extensions, upper structures, spread thirds, adds and suspended chords. 🏫 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/ #Reharmonization #ChordProgressions #PianoChordshttps://www.youtube.com/embed/dwXZaCpaP-M2021-11-24T08:00:13-08:001367 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/10-instant-melody-writing-strategies-for-pianists-producers2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/58crYLpoVaE/maxresdefault.jpg10 Instant Melody-Writing Strategies for Pianists & ProducersNeed a melody right now?

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music uses the Circle of Fifths to build extended, emotional chord progressions on the piano, one cadence at a time. You'll learn how perfect (authentic/dominant) cadences pull the music forward, how plagal cadences add a softer resolution, and how bringing in minor chords opens up new movement and colour. String these moves together and you can keep a progression travelling for as long as you like while always sounding intentional. 🏫 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 lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory 👂 Ear Training lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/EarTraining ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Performance 00:31 Introduction 05:31 Perfect cadences (Authentic/Dominant) 09:17 Plagal cadences 13:52 Movement using Minor chords 17:37 Conclusion ============================= 🎓 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/ #CircleOfFifths #ChordProgressions #Cadenceshttps://www.youtube.com/embed/iP2UuHhs3U42021-11-17T08:00:12-08:001193 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/piano-runs-fills-that-make-you-sound-pro-using-arpeggios2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/_Y70oRzMblU/maxresdefault.jpgPiano Runs & Fills That Make You Sound Pro (Using Arpeggios)Piano runs and fills that make you sound pro — built from arpeggios over the major and minor chords you already know.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music works in the melancholic Bb minor scale, building thirds in the right hand and using a 'pivot' fifth on the pinky to develop both melodic and harmonic ideas. The right-hand arpeggio with floating thirds is a focused finger-independence workout, while the left hand follows the chord tones of the scale. The lesson ends with the full notated etude performed in context. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Performance 00:48 Introduction 01:27 The Melancholic Minor Scale (Bb minor) 05:08 Building Thirds 05:43 Working with the PIVOT note (Pinky) 11:07 What Bass notes should the Left-Hand play? 13:42 Right Hand “pinky” variation 15:13 Putting it all together (Improv) 15:52 Conclusion 🏫 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 🤚 Hand Independence ➡️ https://geni.us/HandIndependence 🎹 Arpeggios ➡️ https://geni.us/Arpeggios 🎼 Music Theory ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory ============================= 🎓 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/ #FingerIndependence #PianoEtude #PianoTechniquehttps://www.youtube.com/embed/DCDC9TRfQRs2021-11-06T08:30:10-07:001179 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/the-cascading-cluster-exercise-cinematic-piano-arpeggios2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/2quWrHTJFIM/maxresdefault.jpgThe Cascading Cluster Exercise: Cinematic Piano ArpeggiosThe Cascading Cluster exercise uses a cluster of 3 adjacent notes and floats around them to create epic, cinematic piano arpeggios perfect for movie scores. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music starts with 3 sets of 3 notes, then teaches you to 'float' around them, change the bass underneath, and shape the cascade in both 4/4 and 6/8 time. You'll practise floating the pattern from the bottom up and from the top down, pick up some bonus phrasing tips, and hear it all in a notated etude Jason composed and performs in the lesson. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Intro Performance 00:31 Introduction 01:40 3 sets of 3 notes 05:05 Floating notes 10:18 Changing the bass 12:36 4/4 & 6/8 time signatures floating from the bottom 17:24 Floating from the top 21:43 Bonus tips 23:49 Conclusion 26:18 Outro Performance 🏫 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 🎹 Arpeggios ➡️ https://geni.us/Arpeggios 🎼 Compose Music ➡️ https://geni.us/compose 🎼 Music Theory ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory ============================= 🎓 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/ #CinematicPiano #PianoArpeggios #FilmScorehttps://www.youtube.com/embed/2quWrHTJFIM2021-10-30T09:00:14-07:001628 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/inspire-yourself-with-the-major-scale-piano-practice2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/vAt_AakDvvc/maxresdefault.jpgINSPIRE Yourself With the Major Scale (Piano Practice)The lesson is taught on both the Major & Harmonic Minor Scale and notes are prepared along with Notation for the entire lesson on the keys of E & Eb.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music explores the importance of intervals when forming chords on the piano — triads and sevenths. You'll start with the essential intervals — the Perfect 5th, Perfect 4th, Major 3rd and Minor 3rd — and use them to build the rest of the interval family. With that knowledge of intervals, you'll then form all the triads in music, plus extended harmony using seventh and sixth chords. 🏫 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 👂 Ear Training lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/EarTraining 🎹 All our lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC ============================= 🎓 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 #SeventhChords #Intervals #MusicTheoryhttps://www.youtube.com/embed/cyhwh4BbS5w2021-10-22T09:00:12-07:001255 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/the-advanced-tresillo-piano-challenge-hand-independence-inversions2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/a4w9yqiEbwM/maxresdefault.jpgThe Advanced Tresillo Piano Challenge (Hand Independence + Inversions)This advanced piano exercise puts your hand independence, chord inversions and triplets to the test all at once — built on the Tresillo rhythm and 4 cycles of one progression with variations.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shows you how clapping, tapping and other body-percussion moves can fix shaky timing and help you really feel a rock rhythm before transferring it to the piano. You'll learn the core rock patterns by body first, then map them onto the keyboard so the groove carries over — an audible before-and-after that turns stiff rhythm into a solid, driving feel. It's a practical rhythm lesson that builds your internal clock and makes your rock playing groove instead of just keep up. 🏫 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/ #BodyPercussion #RockPiano #PianoRhythmhttps://www.youtube.com/embed/h6HNbeikhPk2021-09-17T08:00:16-07:001693 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/the-tresillo-pops-most-used-piano-rhythm-explained2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/knJebrulzRI/maxresdefault.jpgThe Tresillo: Pop's Most-Used Piano Rhythm, ExplainedThe Tresillo is the most popular rhythm in modern pop — and in this lesson you'll learn to count it in two speeds and build piano patterns that instantly groove. Using a simple progression (Bm–D–A–Em), Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music teaches you to count the Tresillo in both a 'slow' and 'fast' feel, then voices the chords with their smoothest inversions.

All six focus on improving your musicality while keeping your muscles relaxed along the way. 🏫 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/ #PianoMistakes #PianoTips #PianoLesson Chapters 00:00 Six lessons from my piano-playing mistakes 05:01 The focus on piano technique 05:54 Use the thumb on black keys 07:04 Adjust the thumb without rotating the hand 08:37 Learn what the sustain pedal can do 10:23 Pedal technique and chord movement 14:24…https://www.youtube.com/embed/h-xxvOWSgfk2021-09-04T08:15:11-07:002436 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/how-to-enhance-a-simple-melody-without-chords-piano2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/PLRc0_peLKM/maxresdefault.jpgHow to Enhance a Simple Melody WITHOUT Chords (Piano)Take a very simple melody and transform it into something meaningful on the piano — without using any chords at all. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music takes a very simple melody and transforms it into something far more meaningful — and remarkably, without using any chords. You'll learn the melody, add left-hand bass movement, change the landing note, and build patterns using directions and scale degrees. Then you'll stack a fifth to develop an alto voice and add a rhythmic layer — a complete approach to enriching a melody on its own terms.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music teaches reggae piano starting from a simple beginner pattern and building toward interesting syncopation using ghost notes over a sixteenth-note swing feel. Reggae is a core genre every contemporary pianist should own. You'll feel sixteenth notes and subdivisions, lay down the basic reggae groove, sneak in ghost notes on the "e" of the beats, play a 1 5 6 4 progression, and finish with some Bob Marley-style singing and playing. 🏫 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/ #ReggaePiano #PianoRhythm #PianoLesson Chapters 00:00 The reggae piano accompaniment pattern 02:28 Swung sixteenth-note subdivisions 03:49 Offbeat chord-hit points 05:25 Roles of the two hands 06:35 Soft, short ghost notes 07:40 Left-hand roots on beats one and three 08:26 Right-hand chords on the ands 09:22 Keep the body moving…https://www.youtube.com/embed/-pxv-t75j842021-08-16T09:00:13-07:001344 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/5-things-you-didnt-know-about-the-harmonic-minor-scale-piano-theory2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/i7dU99lBWAk/maxresdefault.jpg5 Things You Didn't Know About the Harmonic Minor Scale (Piano Theory)The harmonic minor scale hides more than you think — here are 5 things about it most players never discover, with composition methods to match. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music explores unique ways to compose with the harmonic minor scale, covering triad formation, chord extensions and tensions. You'll learn five composition methods that use different aspects of the scale — the many avatars of the dominant chord, borrowing from the natural minor to build the Hybrid Minor, flavourful and mysterious extensions, and the diminished 7th chord. Watch it all the way to the end and the harmonic minor will become one of your most expressive tools 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/ #HarmonicMinor #MusicTheory #PianoTheoryhttps://www.youtube.com/embed/i7dU99lBWAk2021-08-13T09:15:11-07:002305 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/how-to-make-your-left-hand-cooperate-on-piano-5-tips-2-bonus2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/PBFtMoHPeNA/maxresdefault.jpgHow to Make Your Left Hand Cooperate on Piano (5 Tips + 2 Bonus)Improve your left-hand strength, dexterity and control on the piano with 5 unorthodox but highly effective tips — plus 2 bonus tips you won't want to miss. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shares 5 rather unorthodox but highly efficient tips to improve your left-hand strength, dexterity and control on the piano — with 2 bonus tips on top. You'll use bongos for hand interplay, a frame drum, shakers for wrist control, and even guitar or bass for finger and forearm strength, plus copycat riffs and call-and-response with arpeggios.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shows how one C major chord lives inside many scales, and how to bring out a "modal" sound using diatonic thirds and triads. You'll add exotic flavour with the Phrygian Dominant scale, explore modal textures and the Dorian mode over a minor chord, and even create a "theatric" sound using modal thirds. The big idea: start with one or two chords and derive the mode or scale from there — a faster, more musical way into modal playing and modal interchange. 🏫 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 🎼 Beautiful Minor Chord Progressions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT80WvDyjWk5dHdOFiO-_zIn 🎵 Cadences, Circle of Fifths & Secondary Dominants (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT_sKjWd1c7K_S55cZ15jAKI 🎹 Music Theory ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory ============================= 🎓 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 ============================= ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Performance 00:45 Introduction 01:07 What Constitutes a "Modal" Sound? 07:35 Using Diatonic Thirds to Develop a Modal Sound 11:27 Using Diatonic Triads to Develop a Modal Sound 12:03 What is an "Exotic" Flavour? 13:49 Using the Phrygian Dominant Scale 15:20 Modal Textures for the Minor Chord 15:45 Exploring the Dorian Scale/Mode 20:01 A "Theatric" Sound Using Modal Thirds 22:11 Revision 💰 Donate on PayPal ➡️…https://www.youtube.com/embed/GV3fAe9782o2021-08-04T09:00:13-07:001424 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/5-fancy-piano-chord-hacks-to-transform-a-simple-triad2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/qTkiqeE2jw0/maxresdefault.jpg5 Fancy Piano Chord Hacks to Transform a Simple TriadMake plain major and minor chords sound far more beautiful and exciting with 5 fancy chord-playing styles on the piano. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music teaches 5 fancy chord-playing styles that spice up simple triads and make them sound far more interesting — useful across country, pop, gospel, rock and folk. Each technique takes a plain triad or a long-held chord and embellishes it, covering grace notes, hammer-ons, rich voicings with clusters and spread inversions, and Plagal passing chords. By the end you'll have a toolkit of flamenco chords, double grace notes, spread and fifth-voiced pop chords, clusters and more to bring your harmony to life. 🏫 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/ #PianoChords #ChordVoicings #PianoLesson Chapters 00:00 Five ways to embellish simple piano triads 04:06 Guitar-like rolled chord attacks 04:57 Land the final note on the beat 06:18 Practise with the right hand 06:57 Bring in the left hand 08:10 Country-style hammer-on approach…https://www.youtube.com/embed/qTkiqeE2jw02021-07-31T09:00:11-07:001909 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/9-chord-patterns-over-a-74-melody-a-piano-hand-independence-workout2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/LdhG_1uBqZE/maxresdefault.jpg9 Chord Patterns Over a 7/4 Melody: A Piano Hand Independence WorkoutWant serious hand independence at the piano? In this exercise you'll layer 9 different chord patterns under a melody in 7/4, so each hand learns to hold its own line. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music walks you through a hand-independence exercise built around a melody in 7/4 time, supported by nine different chord patterns underneath it. The odd meter forces you to really feel the pulse while your two hands do separate jobs. You'll work through each chord pattern step by step, keeping the melody steady on top while the accompaniment changes shape beneath it. It's a practical way to build coordination, internalise an unusual time signature, and add richer harmony to your playing. By the end you'll have a repeatable workout you can slow down, speed up and reuse to strengthen the independence of your left and right hands. 🏫 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/ #HandIndependence #OddMeter #PianoExerciseshttps://www.youtube.com/embed/LdhG_1uBqZE2021-07-29T09:00:15-07:001772 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/play-a-rock-bass-line-and-melody-at-the-same-time-on-piano-hand-independence2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/SK2H3T3ux54/maxresdefault.jpgPlay a Rock Bass Line AND Melody at the Same Time on Piano (Hand Independence)Playing a bass line and a melody together is the hand-independence skill that makes you sound like a complete pianist — and this lesson builds it step by step. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music guides you through coordinating a left-hand bass line with right-hand chords and melody on the piano. You'll learn the chords with their inversions, then the bass line, then put the bass line in the left hand with chords in the right and shape it with dynamics using the pulse. From there you'll add the melody and combine it with the bass line.

These exercises train your ear, your rhythmic phrasing, your hand independence and even your voice, all at once. In this lesson Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music starts with the basics — forming root position, 1st inversion and 2nd inversion — then runs the three positions of the chord through ten creative rhythm patterns. You'll work through block chords, Oom-Pah, waltz, broken chords, arpeggio triplets, arpeggios over 3/4, the Tresillo, the Charleston, dual-speed arpeggios and floating inversions, with block chords, broken chords and arpeggios covered for every skill level. It works for both major and minor triads, and there's something here whether you're brand new to inversions or polishing them for performance. Pick a pattern, loop it, and watch your inversions stop feeling like homework and start sounding like music. 🏫 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 about Chord Inversions ➡️ https://geni.us/ChordInversions 🥁 All our Rhythm lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/RhythmChops 🎹 Two-Handed Arpeggios with Melody ➡️ https://youtu.be/UdPaIaGiWKs ============================= 🎓 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 ============================= ⏳ Chapters 00:00 Performance 00:19 Introduction to the Tutorial 01:51 Block Chords & Inversions Basics 05:01 Oom-Pah! 06:21 Waltz 07:40 Broken Chords 09:39 Arpeggios Triplets 11:26 Arpeggios over 3/4 13:43 Tresillo 14:53 Charleston 16:18 Dual-speed…https://www.youtube.com/embed/DjPqzQqe_NY2021-06-17T09:00:13-07:001614 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/how-to-play-do-re-mi-on-piano-the-sound-of-music-easy-tutorial2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/k1DEeCbpudM/maxresdefault.jpgHow to Play Do-Re-Mi on Piano (The Sound of Music — Easy Tutorial)Learn the melody and chords of "Do-Re-Mi" from The Sound of Music on piano, in an easy beginner-friendly tutorial in Bb major.

In this lesson you'll learn how dynamics turn a static piano progression into an emotional rollercoaster — louder, softer, and everything between. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shows how dynamics transform a simple chord progression on the piano, turning a flat sequence into an expressive, emotional journey. You'll learn how to shape volume and intensity across a progression — building tension, easing back, and using contrast so your chords actually move the listener rather than just play. It's a practical lesson in playing with feeling, using dynamics as a tool to make ordinary harmony sound alive. 🏫 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/ #PianoDynamics #ChordProgression #SongArrangement Chapters 00:00 Create song sections from the same piano progression 01:12 Expand a busy verse into a chorus 02:03 Think about the next drum groove 03:02 Pedal, legato and broader accents 04:31 Change swing into a triplet feel 05:18 Snare placement and the…https://www.youtube.com/embed/lLc2V0sWnGk2021-05-23T08:30:17-07:00542 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/iconic-melodic-phrases-on-piano-using-chord-inversions-instantly-richer-lines2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/ws36zlXGmJQ/maxresdefault.jpgIconic Melodic Phrases on Piano Using Chord Inversions (Instantly Richer Lines)In this piano lesson, we unleash the power of chord inversions to create thematic hooks using their upper voicings.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music takes a simple 4-chord progression and shows you how to turn the left hand into a moving bass line that drives the whole groove. You'll revise the four chords, build the bass line, place it in the left hand, then add right-hand chords over a steady pulse and put it all together. Along the way you'll learn how to actually develop hand independence and shape dynamics in the right hand. A super-slow play-along version is included at the end so you can practise hands together at a comfortable speed. 🏫 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 lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 🥁 All our lessons on Rhythm (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT85tF6cGvZK6jc5u6yZg5uU 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:03 Revision of the 4 chords 01:26 Building the Bass Line 02:36 The Bass Line in the Left Hand 05:15 RH chords over the Pulse 06:49 Putting it all together 08:36 Effectively developing hand independence 10:13 Dynamics in the Right Hand 11:35 Conclusion 12:41 Super Slow Version (Play-Along) ============================= 🎓 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…https://www.youtube.com/embed/avVd9PwPQ5I2021-05-14T09:00:17-07:00818 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/how-to-play-piano-chords-with-real-passion-dynamics-groove2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/t1KKZ-nY8p8/maxresdefault.jpgHow to Play Piano Chords With Real Passion (Dynamics & Groove)Most players hit chords flat and lifeless — this lesson teaches you to play them with the passion, dynamics and groove they deserve. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shows how to practise chords on the piano with dynamics and groove, using the drum kit and the natural variables of sound you can control at the keys. You'll work through a four-chord progression and its shapes, legato vs staccato vs sustain pedal, adding dynamics, and following the snare, the open hi-hat and a lazy drum feel. It's part of a five-part series that turns ordinary chord playing into expressive, groove-driven 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/ #PianoChords #PianoDynamics #PianoGroovehttps://www.youtube.com/embed/t1KKZ-nY8p82021-05-11T09:00:17-07:001003 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/6-piano-hand-independence-exercises-using-sixteenth-notes-no-talking2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/HyNXL7LQh8w/maxresdefault.jpg6 Piano Hand Independence Exercises Using Sixteenth Notes (No Talking)Develop hand independence for piano with 6 sixteenth-note exercises covering basslines, chord patterns and arpeggios.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music breaks down the essential 2-5-1 jazz piano chord progression from the ground up. You'll learn to find the ii, V and I, form triads of the major scale, add extended seventh-chord harmony, and build harmonic and natural minor versions with their own extended harmony. The lesson finishes with inversions and improvisation over chord tones and color tones (9ths, 11ths and 13ths), preparing you for deeper jazz study. 🏫 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/ #JazzPiano #251Progression #ChordProgressions #MusicTheory #PianoLessons #JazzChordProgressions #JazzPiano #JazzHarmonyhttps://www.youtube.com/embed/SAOjr5ejxbs2021-03-06T07:15:17-08:001437 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/piano-improvisation-3-ways-to-use-the-pentatonic-scale2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/p2JYPEZ7nLU/maxresdefault.jpgPiano Improvisation: 3 Ways to Use the Pentatonic ScaleThree creative ways to improvise on piano using the pentatonic scale (plus a bonus) — so your solos always sound right.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music breaks down the bVII–IV–I 'Mixolydian' cadence — the same move behind 'With a Little Help from My Friends' — and shows you how to build it from the ground up. You'll learn how to construct the Mixolydian mode, harmonise it into chords, and then play the cadence across multiple keys. There's also a piano improvisation exercise to internalise the sound.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music explores the plagal cadence and its minor variation, then shows you how to add it as flavour to an existing I–IV–V progression. You'll build a melody using the plagal passing chord, hear Jason improvise over the changes, and apply it to gospel music with 'Amazing Grace'. There's also a clear method for learning the cadence using the Circle of Fifths. It's a small harmonic move with a deeply expressive, soulful payoff. 🏫 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 lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory 👂 Ear Training lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/EarTraining ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Performance 00:20 The Plagal Cadence (Amen) 01:41 The “Minor” Plagal 02:35 Adding flavor to an existing Chord Progression (I IV V) 04:04 Building a Melody using the “Plagal” Passing Chord 06:45 Jason’s Improv over the Chords 08:13 Application with Gospel Music “Amazing Grace” 09:48 How to learn the Cadence using “Circle of Fifths” 11:03 Revision & Introduction to PART 2 ============================= 🎓 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…https://www.youtube.com/embed/ioscYupDYko2021-03-01T06:30:16-08:00713 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/how-to-play-hey-jude-on-piano-the-beatles-chords-melody-rhythm2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/CKAGujorvuk/maxresdefault.jpgHow to Play Hey Jude on Piano (The Beatles): Chords, Melody & RhythmPiano Tutorial of Hey Jude by The Beatles.

This is the "melodic arpeggios" approach that makes your right hand sound like two players at once. In this lesson Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music brings together the techniques from the "Unique Sounding Arpeggios" series and puts them to work. Starting from a chord progression, you'll learn to float the top note to create a melody over your arpeggio, then move the bass note for added motion, before combining everything into a flowing, song-like texture for the right hand. If you've ever wanted your arpeggios to say something — to carry a tune rather than just outline a chord — this is the lesson that pulls it all together. Best enjoyed after the earlier arpeggio lessons, but it stands strong on its own too. 🏫 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 🎹 3 Commonly Used Arpeggio Patterns (Part 1) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crFr_UKCCR8 🎼 The "Unique Sounding Arpeggios" series ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT--QPXO3vIz_6SiSWILivlS 🔁 Learn Chord Inversions ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC ============================= 🎓 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 ============================= ⏳ Chapters 00:00 Introduction 00:53 Chord Progression 02:35 Floating The Top Note 05:59 Moving the Base Note 07:01 Recap 07:59 Combining Everything From The Series 💰 Donate on PayPal ➡️ https://geni.us/DonatePayPal 📸 Instagram ➡️ https://instagram.com/jasonzac 📞 +91 77604…https://www.youtube.com/embed/0URGlvnW_yw2021-02-25T06:30:17-08:00751 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/piano-arpeggios-that-flow-add-triplets-sixteenths-for-instant-groove2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/aE3Htbyf0BE/maxresdefault.jpgPiano Arpeggios That Flow: Add Triplets & Sixteenths for Instant GrooveThe same arpeggio sounds completely different once you give it a rhythm — and in this lesson you'll bring your piano arpeggios to life with triplets and sixteenth notes. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shows you how to take a simple chord progression and develop flowing arpeggios using rhythmic devices. You'll set up the progression, then layer in sixteenth-note and triplet rhythmic patterns that change the entire feel of the arpeggio without changing a single note of the harmony. By the end you'll have a handful of rhythmic ideas you can apply to any chord to make your arpeggios groove. 🏫 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 lessons on 'Unique Arpeggios' (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT--QPXO3vIz_6SiSWILivlS 🥁 All our lessons on Rhythm (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT85tF6cGvZK6jc5u6yZg5uU 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Introduction 00:55 Chord Progression 01:17 Introducing Rhythmic devices 07:59 Triplet Rhythmic Devices 11:36 Recap ============================= 🎓 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 #PianoRhythm #Tripletshttps://www.youtube.com/embed/aE3Htbyf0BE2021-02-23T06:30:15-08:00786 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/how-to-create-a-blues-solo-on-piano-scales-phrasing2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ewwa-0L3u_g/maxresdefault.jpgHow to Create a Blues Solo on Piano (Scales & Phrasing)Learn how to improvise a blues solo on the piano with important scale theory concepts and lyrical phrasing.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music teaches how to develop unique-sounding arpeggios on the piano by using accents. You'll first understand the theory of accents, then apply them to arpeggios with a focus on the off-beats, building an interesting order of notes. Both eighth-note and sixteenth-note accented phrases are covered in detail. It's a simple shift in emphasis that makes your arpeggios sound far more musical and intentional. 🏫 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 lessons on 'Unique Arpeggios' (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT--QPXO3vIz_6SiSWILivlS 🥁 All our lessons on Rhythm (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT85tF6cGvZK6jc5u6yZg5uU 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory ============================= 🎓 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 #Accents #PianoLesson Chapters 00:00 Make piano arpeggios original with accents 00:43 Eighth-note and sixteenth-note subdivisions 02:35 Count onbeat and offbeat accents 03:19 Three-three-two pitch grouping 04:45 Apply the pattern to four chords 05:32 Start the pattern from…https://www.youtube.com/embed/efJ_gfPJGK02021-02-13T06:30:17-08:001113 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/groovy-piano-arpeggios-using-latin-rhythms-tresillo-son-rumba-bossa2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/RfyH9tWmeRM/maxresdefault.jpgGroovy Piano Arpeggios Using Latin Rhythms (Tresillo, Son, Rumba & Bossa)Afro-Cuban clave rhythms are the secret to making piano arpeggios groove — and in this lesson you'll build groovy arpeggios around four iconic Latin patterns.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music teaches 'subtractive arpeggios': taking commonly used arpeggio patterns and removing certain beats and sub-beats of the bar to create a fresh, original vibe. By choosing what NOT to play, you open up space and develop genuine rhythmic flavour, turning a predictable arpeggio into something that sounds intentional and unique.

Master these go-to shapes and your chords instantly start to flow and sing instead of sitting still. In this lesson Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music walks you through three of the most sought-after arpeggio rhythm patterns — LMHM, HMLM and HLML — over a simple four-chord progression (Em G D A). You'll see exactly how each pattern moves across the keys, the posture that keeps your hand relaxed at speed, and how to string the patterns together so a basic chord progression turns into something genuinely beautiful. Whether you're a complete beginner or a working player looking for fresh ways to voice your chords, these three patterns are the kind of thing you'll reach for again and again.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music uses a spread voicing technique in the left hand, keeping a triad as the starting point, to add colour with sevenths, sixths, augmented chords and more. You'll cover voicing chords in the left-hand bass register, the major 7th (FACE), the dominant 7th (FACEb), practising I IV and V with 7th harmony, plus major 6th, augmented and minor extensions — including a James Bond moment.

The lesson covers how to use chromatic notes tastefully in improvisation, the difference between passing and landing roles, how dynamics and articulation affect musical expression, and how to apply these concepts in solo or ensemble contexts. It's a practical, ear-led approach to adding colour and tension to single-chord improvisation. 🏫 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/ #ChromaticNotes #PianoImprovisation #PianoLesson Chapters 00:00 Chromatic notes over a B flat major chord 00:34 Place chromatic notes on weaker beats 01:13 Hear unstable notes connect to chord tones 01:58 Use chromatic notes to pass into…https://www.youtube.com/embed/VAT-ZrmUBLc2020-11-22T07:45:03-08:00225 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/improvise-over-one-chord-using-the-blues-scale-piano-part-32026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/WhOYh8XrWLw/maxresdefault.jpgImprovise Over ONE Chord Using the Blues Scale (Piano, Part 3)In this 5-part series by Jason Zac, you will learn how to improvise over a Major triad using a constant rhythm pattern.

These are the concepts that let you move from one chord to the next without freezing, so you can keep your focus on the music instead of your hands. In this lesson Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shares five important goals to keep in mind whenever you change chords: predicting the next chord before you get there, using inversions and voice leading to keep your hands close, breaking the movement down so each finger knows where it's going, understanding functional harmony and cadences, and keeping the right mindset so you stop second-guessing yourself. If chord transitions feel clunky, slow or stressful, this lesson gives you a clear framework to practise. Work through the five ideas and smooth, fast, easy chord changes stop being a struggle and start becoming automatic. 🏫 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 ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory 👂 Ear Training ➡️ https://geni.us/EarTraining 🔁 Our entire series on Chord Inversions ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC ============================= 🎓 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 ============================= ⏳ Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:48 Predict the Future 04:51 Inversions & Voice Leading 07:56 Breaking down the movement 11:10 Functional Harmony & Cadences 15:33 Keeping a proper mindset 18:47 Recap 💰 Donate on PayPal ➡️ https://geni.us/DonatePayPal 📸 Instagram ➡️ https://instagram.com/jasonzac 📞 +91 77604 56847 (Mobile & WhatsApp) 📧…https://www.youtube.com/embed/YzFQFfvbIAw2020-11-13T07:15:13-08:001249 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/how-to-really-practice-scales-on-piano-creative-rhythms-part-52026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/jqoMhQUqpIY/maxresdefault.jpgHow to Really Practice Scales on Piano: Creative Rhythms (Part 5)Practice Major scales ascending and descending using creative rhythmic approaches in the final part of the series.

I counted it like this (3-2-3-4)(3-2-3-4)(3-2-3)= 32 A friend of mine counted as below (6-6-4)(6-6-4)=32 After sometime it dawned on me it could might as well be 4/4😅. But then will this different break ups of 32 become polyrhythmn? Or Will it be just 4/4.. https://open.spotify.com/track/53g64SORXWwpp8qnwDauGV?si=0yDFn89jRQKKI3n9g-x6q Listen to Jason Zac's latest album, "The Absence of Laughter" on all platforms: https://orcd.co/theabsenceoflaughter Collaborate.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music walks you through five chord-playing approaches that most players never think about, the kind of subtle moves that separate a stiff, blocky sound from one that feels alive. Apply these and your chords will sound smoother, more dynamic and, most importantly, organic 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/ #PianoChords #PianoTechnique #PianoTips Chapters 00:00 Five piano chord techniques 01:00 Finger swapping for connected chords 03:05 Swap fingers to prepare the next chord 06:49 Chord flams: slightly offset the notes 09:21 Practise flams with both hands 10:22 Choose fingers for black and white keys 12:14 Ring finger and little-finger choices 14:24 Use the sustain pedal 15:39 Clear the pedal at chord changes 16:34 Soft ghost notes 17:53 Left-hand thumb and octave ghost notes 18:55 Recap the five…https://www.youtube.com/embed/-ZHD5SMSF0o2020-10-08T08:15:27-07:001297 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/the-roman-numeral-system-explained-build-any-chord-progression-by-number2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/mxVzktPGxaY/maxresdefault.jpgThe Roman Numeral System Explained: Build Any Chord Progression by NumberThe Roman numeral system is the language pros use to write chord progressions in any key — and this lesson breaks down exactly how it works on the piano. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music walks you through why we use Roman numerals, the intervals behind them, and the number system for the major scale (I ii iii IV V vi vii°). You'll go beyond the basics into extended harmony, the symbols for borrowed chords and secondary dominants, and the full number system for the harmonic minor scale (i ii° IIIb+ iv V VIb vii°), with a clear revision at the end. Once you can think in numbers, you'll read, transpose and build diatonic progressions on the piano with far more freedom. 🏫 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/ #RomanNumerals #ChordProgressions #MusicTheory Chapters 00:00 Roman numerals for chord progressions 00:21 Why chord numbers help with transposition 02:00 Major-scale intervals and other interval names 03:44 Roman numerals describe chords 04:04 Diatonic triads and…https://www.youtube.com/embed/mxVzktPGxaY2020-09-18T08:45:13-07:00983 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/swing-vs-straight-time-feel-on-piano-finally-explained2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/u9CtccuRorg/maxresdefault.jpgSwing vs Straight Time Feel on Piano: Finally ExplainedUnderstand the difference between 'straight' and 'swing' time feel on piano - and learn to flip any song between the two. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music demonstrates straight vs swing using blues and rock 'n' roll, then explains the theory behind it - the triplet feel versus plain eighth notes - with help from the guitar.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music takes you through all the grid settings of a DAW (Reaper) and teaches how to count each 'time feel' — every division of the beat. You'll learn how to internalise the subdivisions and train your ear to tell whether music is played as straight, swing, dotted or triplets — covering eighth notes, triplets, the swing feel, swing vs straight, 1/16th straight, 1/16th swing and triplets, and the dotted time feel. Getting the grid right makes arranging, drum programming, quantising and editing far easier, so every track in your music serves a purpose. 🏫 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 lessons on Rhythm (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT85tF6cGvZK6jc5u6yZg5uU 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory 👂 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/ #Rhythm #MusicTechnology #Learnpiano Chapters 00:00 Understand the musical grid in a DAW 01:58 Bars, beats and sub-beats 04:08 Quarter-note and eighth-note grids 05:57 Sixteenth-note and finer divisions 06:57 Hear and count straight eighth notes…https://www.youtube.com/embed/KS6ulKz_QYE2020-09-06T06:30:13-07:001674 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/piano-hand-independence-workout-using-the-bossa-clave-dance-groove2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/8kF9pV4uZPE/maxresdefault.jpgPiano Hand Independence Workout Using the Bossa Clave (Dance Groove)Build serious left-and-right-hand independence on piano with a dance (EDM-style) groove built on the Bossa Nova clave. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music gives you a set of exercises over a Bm–D–F#m–E progression. The idea is to hold the Afro-Cuban 'bossa clave' in one hand while keeping a steady pulse in the other — then bring them together to really challenge your independence. You'll play the pulse, root octaves, toggles and arpeggios in the left hand against the clave in the right, add spread voicing, and then flip the roles of both hands entirely. ⏱️ Chapters 01:21 The Chord Progression Explained - Bm D F#m E 02:44 Building Independence with the “body”, “voice” and a simple hand ratio 1:4 04:57 “Bossa Clave” 1/16th note Pattern (Pop Clave) with Pulse 08:42 Left-Hand plays Pulse with Root Octave together, “Toggle” & Arpeggios 14:05 Spread Voicing in the left hand 15:16 Flipping the role of both hands - RH Pulse & LH “Bossa Clave” 18:18 Summary & 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 💪🏽 Hand Independence (Playlist) ➡️ https://geni.us/HandIndependence 🥁 Rhythm Concepts & Patterns (Playlist) ➡️ https://geni.us/RhythmChops 🔄 Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC ============================= 🎓 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…https://www.youtube.com/embed/8kF9pV4uZPE2020-09-04T08:15:13-07:001206 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/play-melody-and-chords-in-one-hand-the-piano-trick-that-sounds-impossible2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/uPi_uX1Y8GM/maxresdefault.jpgPlay Melody AND Chords in ONE Hand (The Piano Trick That Sounds Impossible)Play melody AND chords in one hand on piano — the trick that sounds impossible but isn't. Learn how to carry the tune, the harmony and the rhythm all in your right hand, freeing up your left for a strong bass line and a richer, fuller sound. In this lesson Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music builds the technique step by step. You'll start with a scale-and-chord warm-up using arpeggios, form the I, IV and V chords from the major scale, then play the scale ascending and descending with triads and flowing HLML arpeggios. From there you'll take a tune you already know — "Twinkle Twinkle" — and play its melody, harmony and rhythm pattern all in one hand, including a four-note voicing for the triads and time-feels like triplets and a gallop. It's the kind of skill that makes people think you've magically grown an extra hand. If you can already play basic chords and want your right hand to do far more, this is the lesson that unlocks it. 🏫 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 ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory 👂 Ear Training ➡️ https://geni.us/EarTraining 🎹 Arpeggios ➡️ https://geni.us/Arpeggios 🔁 All our Chord Inversions lessons ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC ============================= 🎓 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 ============================= ⏳ Chapters 00:00 Introduction 02:19 Building the Scale 05:00 Forming the I, IV & V chords from the Major Scale 08:25 Playing the Scale ascending & descending using "Triads" 13:27 Playing the Scale with flowing "Arpeggios" (HLML pattern) 18:19 Playing…https://www.youtube.com/embed/uPi_uX1Y8GM2020-09-02T08:15:30-07:001751 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/how-to-count-feel-68-time-on-piano-using-arpeggios-part-22026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/ws_uazenXIA/maxresdefault.jpgHow to Count & Feel 6/8 Time on Piano Using Arpeggios (Part 2)6/8 time confuses a lot of players — this lesson helps you understand and count it on the piano using arpeggio patterns. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music explores the 6/8 time signature on the piano, using various arpeggio patterns over a chord progression. In this Part 2, you'll go beyond the simple triplet and eighth-note approaches to use accents across the six sub-beats for a busy and a lazy feel, plus irregular odd-number groupings.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music takes a simple, catchy melody and makes it survive the vi IV I V progression, keeping your music neither too complicated nor too monotonous. You'll build the motif, then modify it by changing the landing note, transposing around the chord, and adding or subtracting notes — demonstrated in Bb major (Gm Eb Bb F) with left-hand inversions under right-hand melodies. The vi IV I V progression powers countless songs (Toto's "Africa", Avicii's "Wake Me Up", The Cranberries' "Zombie"), so these ideas transfer everywhere 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/ #MelodyWriting #MusicalMotif #PianoLesson Chapters 00:00 Build a piano melody from a motif 01:20 The melody and chord progression 01:52 Identify the important landing note 02:43 Change the landing note to fit the chord 03:44 Adapt the…https://www.youtube.com/embed/c9ug8m3w4R02020-08-16T07:30:11-07:00751 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/how-to-write-a-melody-on-piano-using-arpeggios2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/HV-3z3Sxt0g/maxresdefault.jpgHow to Write a Melody on Piano Using ArpeggiosArpeggios are one of the most powerful tools for writing melodies — this lesson shows you how to turn them into storytelling tunes. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music takes the arpeggio, one of the most commonly used piano techniques, and applies it directly to melody-building. You'll cover inversions and voice-leading essentials, the use of accents, the wandering melody, and broken arpeggios over a time feel using the beat-division system.

It's demonstrated in Bb major (chords Gm Eb Bb F) over the vi IV I V progression with left-hand inversions and right-hand melodies, using a variety of techniques. That progression powers songs like Toto's "Africa", Avicii's "Wake Me Up" and The Cranberries' "Zombie", so the ideas transfer everywhere 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/ #PentatonicScale #MelodyWriting #PianoImprovisationhttps://www.youtube.com/embed/hE3I3I6bIpk2020-08-14T08:30:13-07:00708 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/how-to-write-a-melody-on-piano-using-passing-landing-tones2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/iyAUSvuB3vc/maxresdefault.jpgHow to Write a Melody on Piano Using Passing & Landing TonesPassing and landing tones are the secret to melodies that flow and resolve beautifully — this lesson shows you how to use them.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music breaks down the grooviest rhythm patterns in contemporary music, from the Latin Tresillo (heard in hits like 'Despacito' and 'Shape of You') to triplet-based feels. You'll learn the subtle but crucial difference between dividing a beat and accenting a phrase within a system of 2, 3 or 4 — covering the sixteenth-note pop clave (Tresillo), the quarter-note triplet hemiola, eighth-note triplets, dotted notes and accented phrases, with theory and notation for each. Understand these and you'll hear and play modern rhythm with far more confidence. 🏫 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 lessons on Rhythm (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT85tF6cGvZK6jc5u6yZg5uU 🎹 All our lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory ============================= 🎓 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/ #Tresillo #Hemiola #RhythmTheory Chapters 00:00 Tresillo and hemiola rhythm patterns 01:12 Hear the contrasting rhythms 02:23 Sixteenth-note…https://www.youtube.com/embed/l2z40W3_b7k2020-07-25T17:45:12-07:00986 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/80s-glam-rock-piano-tutorial-get-that-big-stadium-sound2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/iWg3z9HNYFk/maxresdefault.jpg80s Glam Rock Piano Tutorial (Get That Big Stadium Sound)In this lesson you learn how to play 80s glam rock on the piano.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music uses a simple I-IV-I-V progression in D Major (D/F# G D/A A) to show how to form inversions from every starting position and shift smoothly between triads. From there you'll learn how slash chords are built, why they're used, and how to improvise and compose melodies and "stories" with them. It also covers the ear training behind proper voice leading — so the bass line moves with purpose and your progressions sound far more musical. 🏫 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 🎹 Chord Inversions in Detail (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC ============================= 🎓 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 ============================= ⏱️ Chapters 00:50 The Chord Progression Used - I IV I V 01:49 Forming Chord Inversions from All Positions 04:20 The Formation & Purpose of Slash Chords 09:20 Revision - Creating Melodies & Telling Stories with Slash Chords 💰 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/ #SlashChords #PianoChords #PianoLessonhttps://www.youtube.com/embed/MjkwbSe5Xuc2020-07-19T08:30:13-07:00701 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/rhythmic-anticipation-on-piano-the-trick-that-makes-any-pattern-groove2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/YRZPGg84Wk0/maxresdefault.jpgRhythmic Anticipation on Piano: The Trick That Makes Any Pattern GrooveRhythmic anticipation is the simple displacement trick that instantly makes a flat chord pattern feel like it grooves — and this lesson shows you exactly how to do it on piano. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music teaches rhythmic anticipation: pushing the first beat of alternate bars onto the nearest preceding sub-beat so your accompaniment stops feeling stiff. First you'll learn beat subdivision and how to feel eighth notes and sixteenth notes. Then you'll displace the right-hand chord pattern to anticipate the downbeat of bar two, using a simple progression from the D major scale (D – A – G – D). It's a small change with a big payoff — the same rhythmic feel behind countless modern pop and worship grooves. 🏫 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 lessons on Rhythm (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT85tF6cGvZK6jc5u6yZg5uU 🎹 All our lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory ============================= 🎓 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/ #RhythmicAnticipation #PianoRhythm #PianoLesson Chapters 00:00 Rhythmic anticipation on piano 01:23 D major, G major and A major inversions 02:44 Start with even…https://www.youtube.com/embed/YRZPGg84Wk02020-07-17T20:00:05-07:00810 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/how-to-setup-reaper-daw-preferences-project-settings-audio-devices-midi2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/Fiif4hbLX7c/maxresdefault.jpgHow to Setup REAPER (DAW) - Preferences | Project Settings | Audio Devices | MIDIIn this Reaper DAW Tutorial by Jason Zac, you will learn how to set up and customize the recording application efficiently by understanding the preferences, file management structure, project settings, and more.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music explores how the simple I–IV–V progression transforms when you apply it across many scales beyond the plain major. By varying the scale behind I–IV–V you generate numerous musical themes and melodic phrases using nothing more than major and minor chords — a fast, practical tool for songwriting and improvisation on the piano. If you can play three chords, you can use this method to create far more music than you'd expect. 🏫 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 lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory 👂 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/ #PianoLessons #PianoTutorial #ChordProgressions #MusicTheory #PianoChords Chapters 00:00 Reharmonise a one-four-five progression 00:54 Start with G major, C major and D major 02:07 Change the major and minor chord qualities 03:16 Try all three chords as minor 04:28 Minor one, minor four and major five 05:44 Eight major-minor…https://www.youtube.com/embed/gczKhShkdTI2020-06-23T09:00:13-07:00699 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/20-questions-with-jason-zac-all-things-music-episode-12026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/a-QC3ygQXvI/maxresdefault.jpg20 Questions with Jason Zac (All Things Music) - Episode 1Jason will teach 20 musical questions in each live session asked by students via a zoom class.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music takes you past the safe, familiar major-scale sound and into the notes that add tension, surprise and depth to your playing. You'll connect theory with your ear, learning to recognise these new colours by sound and then use them in your own lines and harmony — so your ideas stop sounding predictable. It's a combined theory and ear-training lesson designed to expand the palette you reach for every time you sit at 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/ #PianoLessons #MusicTheory #EarTraining #PianoScales #MelodyWritinghttps://www.youtube.com/embed/5QmZYDN5Cl82020-06-22T10:58:45-07:001027 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/beginner-bass-guitar-intervals-anticipations-part-22026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/96GPDk80wKE/maxresdefault.jpgBeginner Bass Guitar - Intervals (Anticipations) | Part 2In this Bass Guitar lesson series on Intervals, you will learn how to find all the intervals across different finger positions of the Bass.

The tutorial has 3 parts which cover different aspects of music practice, including melodic and rhythmic patterns. Jason covers the following in this detailed tutorial: taking a 4/4 common time exercise and making it "odd" by using sub beats, exploring all the rhythmic phrases which can be built out of a 7/8 meter keeping the note pattern A B C D E D C B intact, and developing new melodic patterns by displacing the starting note of the bar while retaining the melodic movement. After this, we explore other "odd" time signatures like 7/8 and 5/8 with sub beat variations using the same ordering of notes. 🏫 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/ #OddMeterPiano #FiveFingerExercise #PianoExercisehttps://www.youtube.com/embed/Rb9nmde8Vs82020-01-02T05:57:14-08:002041 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/how-to-play-seorita-on-piano-10-styles-sheets-chords-shawn-mendes-camila-cabello2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/dB1DL0z8u5w/maxresdefault.jpgHow to Play "Señorita" on Piano: 10 Styles + Sheets & Chords (Shawn Mendes & Camila Cabello)"Señorita" by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello sounds great in countless styles — here are 10 accompaniment techniques on the piano.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shows how playing eighth notes in one hand while sneaking a few sixteenth notes into the other creates the rolling sound heard in so many folk and bluegrass songs. The technique is influenced by the banjo — think Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, Mumford & Sons and more — and works over any chord progression you like, with a melody layered on once your rhythm is locked in. 🏫 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 🎹 Arpeggios ➡️ https://geni.us/Arpeggios 🤚 Hand Independence ➡️ https://geni.us/HandIndependence 🎵 Rhythm Concepts & Patterns ➡️ https://geni.us/RhythmChops ============================= 🎓 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/ #FolkPiano #PianoArpeggios #BluegrassPiano Chapters 00:00 Folk and bluegrass colour from piano arpeggios 01:19 Start with a familiar left-hand arpeggio 01:45 Add right-hand notes around the arpeggio 02:19 Count eighth-note and sixteenth-note divisions 03:17 Choose the offbeat placements 03:59 Add melody over the groove 05:00 Musical influences and examples 05:44 Recap and develop the patternhttps://www.youtube.com/embed/VGV59KIVPsY2019-09-05T08:15:01-07:00471 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/rock-piano-grooves-any-beginner-can-use2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/C-Dc0zkwgqc/maxresdefault.jpgRock Piano Grooves Any Beginner Can UseLearn rock piano grooves you can actually use — styles in the spirit of Green Day, Imagine Dragons and more, built on a moody Dorian progression. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music teaches piano rhythm styles over the progression Cm–Eb–Bb–F (a very Dorian sound), playable in both swung and straight time feels. Adding ghost notes makes the part sound like a snare drum and bass guitar working together, and Jason shows you how to lock in with the drummer of your band.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music walks you through clever combinations of beat divisions where the hands share accents, play patterns together, and split duties — left hand holding the pulse or eighth notes while the right hand plays the groove. The Salsa exercise ties it all together. As a pianist or keyboardist, these drills sharpen your hand independence and develop the mind-body connection that lets you truly feel the groove rather than count it. 🏫 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 🎹 Voicing of Chords - Close & Spread Triads ➡️ https://youtu.be/buRLaRZGadk 🎼 Introduction to Chord Inversions ➡️ https://youtu.be/QAT69Hv1Zuo ============================= 🎓 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 ============================= ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Performance 11:25 Left & Right Hand Share Accents 15:28 Both Hands Play the Pattern Together 17:00 Left Hand Pulse, Right Hand Pattern 23:10 Left Hand Eighth Notes, Right Hand Pattern 24:23 Left Hand Salsa, Right Hand Pattern 27:40 How to Feel the Groove 💰 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/ #PianoGroove #HandIndependence #SalsaPianohttps://www.youtube.com/embed/aV76AN2McFM2019-05-29T17:28:59-07:001954 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/phat-chords-on-piano-sweet-thick-voicings-advanced-lesson2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/MV4rFuNmlzU/maxresdefault.jpgPhat Chords on Piano: Sweet, Thick Voicings (Advanced Lesson)Want thick, expensive-sounding chords?

Part 2 can be found here : https://youtu.be/yKrB8Ld0tA4 A list of our tutorials can be found here : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9UnPiTktveaPrye0exDY9N Also check out Jason's Riff Collection for more inspiration : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT8zXmPzctsLOxz9xRQ95T4C Like us on Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/nathanielmusic/ Please subscribe to our YouTube channel for more : https://www.youtube.com/nathanielschool Visit our website : http://nathanielschool.com Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/nathanielschool/ ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 Chicago blues bass demonstration 0:46 Jason introduces the 12-bar blues lesson 2:05 The I–IV–V roots in B: B, E and F# 3:18 Count the 12-bar progression in quarter notes 4:21 Two ways to end the 12-bar cycle 6:47 Find the octave, fifth and flat seventh 7:56 The root–octave–flat seventh–fifth pattern 8:13 Practise the pattern in quarter notes 9:24 Move the bass pattern through all 12 bars 10:15 Play the quarter-note groove slowly, then faster 11:24 Add eighth-note shuffle feel 12:24 Leave the fifth long for contrast 13:02 Shape the groove with dynamics and note lengths 14:29 Play the shuffle groove slowly, then faster 15:50 Add a triplet variation in the second bar 16:55 Practise the variation through the 12-bar progressionhttps://www.youtube.com/embed/A-0Zo2x0sRs2017-09-05T05:19:57-07:001103 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/close-vs-spread-triad-voicings-make-your-piano-chords-sound-full2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/buRLaRZGadk/maxresdefault.jpgClose vs Spread Triad Voicings: Make Your Piano Chords Sound FullLearn close and spread triad voicings on piano. Jason Zac maps D major and G minor through inversions, then opens the notes beyond an octave using two hands or arpeggios for a fuller sound. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shows how a major or minor triad can be mapped out in different shapes and inversions across the keyboard. You'll compare both forms of voicing a chord — closed (notes packed together) and spread (notes opened out) — and hear how each changes the character and weight of your harmony. It's a core skill that instantly upgrades how your chords sound, whether you're accompanying, arranging or composing. 🏫 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 🎹 Voicings & Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 📖 All our Music Theory lessons (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9UnPiTktveaPrye0exDY9N ============================= 🎓 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/ #ChordVoicings #PianoTriads #PianoLesson Chapters 00:00 Close and spread triad voicings 00:23 Build the D major triad 01:25 Build the B minor triad 02:29 Map chord notes in a circle 02:54 Root position and close inversions 03:43 D major close-position demonstration 04:45 G minor close-position demonstration 05:47…https://www.youtube.com/embed/buRLaRZGadk2017-08-04T05:58:29-07:00935 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/figure-out-any-song-by-ear-start-with-the-bass-line-piano2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/bAsxz0XtQrc/maxresdefault.jpgFigure Out Any Song by Ear: Start With the Bass Line (Piano)Find song chords by ear from the bass line. In this 2017 lesson, Jason Zac uses EQ, a tuner and diatonic chord theory, then checks the result on piano using She Will Be Loved as the example. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music breaks down a popular song and shows how to find the chords yourself using the bass line, plus a few key EQ tips for hearing the low end clearly. Along the way you'll pick up diatonic chord theory and harmonisation so you can turn a bass line into the full progression. (The song 'She Will Be Loved' by Maroon 5 is used for demonstration only.) 🏫 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 👂 Ear Training reference ➡️ https://geni.us/EarTraining 🎵 Music Theory reference ➡️ https://geni.us/MusicTheory ============================= 🎓 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/ #PlayByEar #EarTraining #PianoLesson Chapters 00:00 Find song chords by ear from the bass line 00:27 Use a media player with an equalizer 01:51 Focus the EQ on the bass 02:48 Turn bass notes into chords using theory 03:42 Identify the song key 04:14 Major and minor chords in a major key 06:19 Hear single bass notes before choosing chords 07:43 Tuner and media-player workflow 08:54 She Will Be Loved example 09:59 Sing and identify a tonal reference 12:03 EQ the example to expose the bass…https://www.youtube.com/embed/bAsxz0XtQrc2017-06-02T04:22:42-07:001506 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/3-piano-rhythm-techniques-that-make-your-chords-groove2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/lY65F24zzTM/maxresdefault.jpg3 Piano Rhythm Techniques That Make Your Chords GroovePlay the 3–3–2 piano rhythm three ways: single chord hits, accented eighth notes and arpeggios. Jason Zac uses Gm–E-flat–B-flat–F to practise counting, inversions and left-hand coordination. In this lesson Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music takes one chord progression (vi–IV–I–V) and brings it to life three ways: flowing arpeggios, punchy accents, and full block chords, with separate left- and right-hand variations. Jason uses short examples from songs including Shape of You, Cheap Thrills and Clocks to illustrate the rhythm. Practise the pattern slowly, then vary the chord articulation, dynamics and arpeggio starting note. 🏫 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 ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory 🎹 Arpeggios ➡️ https://geni.us/Arpeggios 🤚 Hand Independence ➡️ https://geni.us/HandIndependence ============================= 🎓 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/ #PianoRhythm #Tresillo #PianoAccompaniment Chapters 00:00 Three approaches to the 3–3–2 piano rhythm 00:58 Count the eighth-note grouping 02:51 Three ways to use the pattern 03:12 Clap and count the accents 04:08 Keep a steady left-hand pulse 05:50 The Gm–E-flat–B-flat–F progression 07:03 Single chord hits 08:11 Develop the two-hand pulse 11:24 Staccato, legato and dynamics 14:04 Accented…https://www.youtube.com/embed/lY65F24zzTM2017-05-24T05:26:54-07:001522 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/improve-your-piano-playing-accents-time-signatures-part-22026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/-Jy5QOKc5_Q/maxresdefault.jpgImprove Your Piano Playing: Accents & Time Signatures (Part 2)Practise piano scales with accents in groups of 3, 5 and 7.

Choose added notes to fit the key, then turn those chord colours into small melodic ideas. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shows you how to make colourful piano chords by thickening them — adding notes and reshaping voicings so a basic chord gains weight, warmth and depth. You'll learn how to choose which notes to add, how to spread them across both hands, and how thickening changes the character of a chord without changing the underlying harmony. It's a practical approach to adding colour to major and minor chords you already know. 🏫 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/ #PianoChords #ChordVoicings #PianoHarmony Chapters 00:00 Thicken piano chords with added notes 01:06 Introduction to chord thickening 02:18 Add the second or fourth beside the third 03:17 Keep added notes within the key 04:09 The sharp fourth on C in G major 05:09 G–Em–C–D chord progression 05:34 Make a motif…https://www.youtube.com/embed/Iqz54fR8ChY2017-02-28T00:56:04-08:00622 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/chord-colouring-on-piano-pedalling-with-the-7sus4-chord2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/MmI8AmA2TAs/maxresdefault.jpgChord Colouring on Piano: Pedalling With the 7sus4 ChordColour piano chords with a C–F–B-flat fourth stack, then change the left-hand bass beneath the right-hand voicing.

Choose a scale that retains its root, third and fifth, then move through pairs of scale thirds over a sustained bass. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music explains chord colouring on the piano through the concept he calls the 'dark major' — a way of shading a familiar major chord so it sounds moodier and more expressive. You'll see how small changes to the notes inside a chord completely change its emotional colour, and how to apply this to your own playing so ordinary major harmony sounds far more sophisticated. It's a simple, ear-opening approach to making your chords sound richer without learning dozens of new shapes. 🏫 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/ #DarkMajor #ChordColouring #PianoHarmony Chapters 00:00 The dark-major chord colour 00:54 Introduction to chord colouring 02:13 Choose the parent scale 03:23 The scale used in the demonstration 04:04 Add the second, fourth and minor sixth 04:47 Add…https://www.youtube.com/embed/Nnx68gUa80M2016-11-28T03:11:00-08:00880 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/avoid-clutter-while-playing-piano-chords-add-a-melody-in-your-right-hand-part-22026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/Fj1AR6dMMOI/maxresdefault.jpgAvoid Clutter While Playing Piano Chords: Add a Melody in Your Right Hand (Part 2)Add a right-hand melody above an open piano chord voicing.

Compare root-position and slash-bass voicings across registers. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music explains how to achieve chord clarity on the piano — arranging the notes inside a chord so it sounds clean and open rather than thick and muddy. You'll learn how spacing, register and voicing choices affect how clearly a chord speaks, and simple adjustments that can change the sound of your harmony. It's a practical lesson in choosing clearer chord voicings for the register and musical setting. 🏫 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/ #ChordVoicing #PianoHarmony #PianoChords Chapters 00:00 Clarity in piano chord voicings 00:34 Remove clutter from the left hand 01:53 Move one chord note to the right hand 02:17 D major with the third an octave higher 02:56 Practise diatonic chord shapes 03:33 Find your place in a band arrangement 04:30 Root, fifth and…https://www.youtube.com/embed/brTCnivLsuc2016-09-01T06:58:34-07:00440 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/pro-tools-default-settings-set-up-preferences-for-a-faster-workflow2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/mjmMwsySg7Y/maxresdefault.jpgPro Tools Default Settings: Set Up Preferences for a Faster WorkflowSet up Pro Tools 12.5.2 for your workflow after a preference reset.

Practise a D-major phrase and a familiar tune, then use simple left-hand bass notes to keep chord choices open. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music explains the approach he calls "Melodic Chords": instead of treating chords and melody as separate jobs, you voice your harmony so the top notes carry a singing line of their own. Practise the idea with a D-major melody and a familiar tune, then add single left-hand bass notes. The lesson relates melodic chord choices to choral and organ writing, with piano examples for accompaniment, composition and arranging. 🏫 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 Music Theory lessons (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9UnPiTktveaPrye0exDY9N 🎹 Voicings & Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC ============================= 🎓 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/ #MelodicChords #PianoHarmony #VoiceLeading Chapters 00:00 Make chords follow the melody 01:39 Introduction to melodic chords 02:33 Choral and orchestral harmony 03:54 Harmonise a short melody 04:41 A chord for each melody note 06:13 Apply the idea to a familiar tune 07:32 Start with single left-hand…https://www.youtube.com/embed/lYHkcSJdWHQ2016-07-14T06:08:23-07:00689 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/creating-a-backing-track-for-live-performance-with-iem-part-2-mainstage2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/4QHcAUuIYkg/maxresdefault.jpgCreating a Backing Track for Live Performance with IEM - Part 2 - MainStageSet up MainStage playback with two aligned backing-track files.

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music explains his idea of 'subset scales' and demonstrates it with popular Carnatic ragas: Savithri, Jana Sammodhini, Hamsadhwani, Sunaadavinodini and Madhyamaavathi, with a recap of the major and minor pentatonic scales. You'll see how subset scales help you make melody lines more creative and unique, explore new bass possibilities, create catchy motifs, and highlight the notes that matter most in a scale. It's a fresh, melodic way to bring Indian classical colour into your playing 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/ #SubsetScales #CarnaticRagas #PentatonicScale Chapters 00:00 Subset scales and raga colours 00:26 Remove notes from a parent scale 01:23 Highlight different intervals 02:25 Major and minor pentatonic recap 04:16 A subset of the…https://www.youtube.com/embed/-ExjS5-fKog2015-05-29T05:43:51-07:00746 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/bass-tip-getting-familiar-with-the-fretboard-nathaniel-school-of-music2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/w6qijiy1fdw/maxresdefault.jpgBass Tip - Getting Familiar with the Fretboard - Nathaniel School of MusicHere's a bass tip on how to quickly get used to positions and relations on the fretboard using concepts like artificial harmonics.

Coordinate each note’s release with the next attack, then explore low-register clarity, held-note contrasts and optional left-hand chords. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music explains why legato is so important and how to play it properly, connecting each note to the next so a phrase flows like a voice rather than a series of separate hits. You'll learn what your fingers should actually do as you move between notes, how to coordinate note release and attack for a connected line, and simple ways to practise until smooth playing becomes your default. This exercise explores connected phrasing, with optional left-hand chords and metronome practice. 🏫 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/ #Legato #PianoTechnique #PianoLesson Chapters 00:00 Legato piano technique 00:49 Introduction to connected playing 01:12 What legato means 01:42 Compare overlaps, gaps and connected notes 02:56 Finger-independence exercise 04:50 Test…https://www.youtube.com/embed/T9b_pjLqq642015-03-20T05:46:05-07:00755 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/piano-exercise-for-finger-control-mixolydian-thirds-in-cycles-of-3-42026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/IIwQZjq9F_I/maxresdefault.jpgPiano Exercise for Finger Control: Mixolydian Thirds in Cycles of 3 & 4Play C Mixolydian thirds around a fixed C, using three- and four-note arpeggio cycles and varied accents.

Keep the metronome at 60 bpm while changing even subdivisions and triplet note values. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music takes a conventional scale exercise and modifies it — adding the 9th interval and merging the cycle with a pattern of chords. Practising it slowly against the click trains your ear and hands to feel subdivisions evenly, so triplets stop rushing or dragging. The goal is a deeper, more natural understanding of rhythm and a tighter ability to lock in with the beat — the foundation every groove is built on. 🏫 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 lessons on Rhythm (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT85tF6cGvZK6jc5u6yZg5uU ============================= 🎓 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/ #Triplets #PianoTiming #RhythmExercise Chapters 00:00 Piano timing with triplets 00:21 Why practise slowly with a metronome? 01:12 Extend the scale to the ninth 02:22 Combine the scale with I–IV chords 03:14 Rhythmic divisions and triplets 04:33 Demonstration at 60 bpm 05:31 Count triplets 05:56 Eighth-note scale with quarter-note-triplet chords 06:50 Sixteenth notes with eighth-note triplets 07:49 Practise the triplet part alone 08:15…https://www.youtube.com/embed/JRDSDDF88WM2015-03-05T04:08:20-08:00691 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/what-child-is-this-christmas-piano-tutorial-greensleeves2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/6z1gfxLGLow/maxresdefault.jpgWhat Child Is This?

Harmonic Ear Training ExerciseCan you hear the seventh above a chord? In Part 2 of this harmonic ear-training lesson, practise singing major and minor sevenths above a triad, then check the note on your instrument. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music starts with a G major triad (G, B and D), demonstrates the major seventh and minor seventh, and explains how to check your singing against a tuned instrument. Randomise the chords to keep the exercise focused on hearing rather than memorising a pattern. Then try sevenths above minor triads and explore sixths above both major and minor triads. This follows Part 1, the exercise for finding the third in a triad. 🏫 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/ #EarTraining #SeventhChords #MusicTheory Chapters 00:00 Harmonic ear training: identifying sevenths 00:21 Sing the seventh above a major triad 00:45 Major seventh and minor seventh 01:05 Check your pitch on your instrument 01:23 Sing the minor seventh and hear a dominant seventh 02:11 Randomise chords…https://www.youtube.com/embed/p0VN5FWvadk2014-09-29T23:17:08-07:00344 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/fix-messy-claps-in-pro-tools-elastic-audio-strip-silence2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/WdUKWR0zEiQ/maxresdefault.jpgFix Messy Claps in Pro Tools (Elastic Audio + Strip Silence)Tighten clap timing in Pro Tools with Elastic Audio, Strip Silence and fades.

In this lesson Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music covers a few creative techniques for using arpeggios across both hands. You'll play a different pattern in each hand, build up to different speeds and time-division feels between the hands using ratios, explore polyrhythmic and syncopated arpeggios, and finish by shaping real melodies out of the arpeggio patterns themselves. These are intermediate-to-advanced ideas, but they're broken down so beginners can follow along and grow into them. If you want your arpeggios to stop sounding like an exercise and start sounding like a finished piece, this lesson shows you how to bring the melody to the surface. 🏫 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 🎹 Arpeggios ➡️ https://geni.us/Arpeggios 🤚 Hand Independence ➡️ https://geni.us/HandIndependence 🎼 Music Theory ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory ============================= 🎓 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 ============================= ⏳ Chapters 00:00 Introduction 04:05 Two Handed Arpeggios using Ratios 06:30 Polyrhythmic arpeggios 08:35 Syncopated arpeggios 10:24 Create melodies using arpeggios 💰 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…https://www.youtube.com/embed/UdPaIaGiWKs2014-02-25T06:38:55-08:00913 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/piano-chord-inversions-exercise-6-popular-progression-i-iv-v2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/q08prYX9R5Q/maxresdefault.jpgPiano Chord Inversions (Exercise 6) - Popular Progression I IV VPractise I–IV–V–IV piano chord inversions in F major, then compare C harmonic minor using C minor, F minor and G major.

Jason Zac changes the right-hand scale rhythm through quarter-note triplets, eighths, eighth-note triplets and sixteenths. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shows you how to practise scales while consciously dividing each beat, so your runs lock to a steady pulse instead of speeding up and slowing down. You'll work through different subdivisions over the same scale, training both your fingers and your internal clock — the foundation that makes fast, clean scale playing actually possible. It's a practical scale-and-rhythm exercise that turns ordinary scale practice into real control over your timing at 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/ #PianoScales #Subdivision #PianoTechnique Chapters 00:00 Dividing the beat while practising a scale 01:08 Quarter notes over a steady left-hand pulse 01:37 Quarter-note triplets 02:16 Eighth notes and eighth-note triplets 02:48 Extend the exercise…https://www.youtube.com/embed/4m4yJfv8e182012-09-17T03:50:11-07:00421 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/piano-scale-exercise-using-thirds-d-major2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/TlOxpWcj5R4/maxresdefault.jpgPiano Scale Exercise Using Thirds (D Major)Practise D major on piano with third-derived harmony: move each note's upper third down an octave so the melody stays on top. Jason Zac explains fingering and adds a lower octave. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music presents this scale-in-thirds drill as part of a wider series of piano scale exercises. Instead of playing the scale as single notes, you add each note's upper third an octave below the melody — which trains finger control while keeping the tune on top. Worked into regular practice, it builds speed, flexibility and the kind of finger independence that pays off across everything you play. 🏫 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 🏋🏽 Piano Exercises - Beginner, Intermediate & Advanced ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoExercises 🪜 Arpeggios (Playlist) ➡️ 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/ #ScalesInThirds #PianoScales #PianoExercises Chapters 00:00 Piano scale exercise in thirds 00:26 Why thirds enrich a melody 01:01 Find the upper third of each scale note 01:38 Bring the upper third down an octave 02:19 Fingering advice for black keys 03:11 Add the lower octave 03:58 Try other scales, tempos and patternshttps://www.youtube.com/embed/TlOxpWcj5R42012-09-05T00:09:06-07:00286 https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com/video/the-piano-scale-exercise-with-accents-build-finger-control2026-10-18T17:26:04.486Zhttps://i.ytimg.com/vi/AUphw0EIRic/maxresdefault.jpgThe Piano Scale Exercise With Accents (Build Finger Control)Practise a D major piano scale in a ten-beat cycle: lengthen a different note each pass and hold the end note for two counts.

Think again. This E7 workout series breaks down 10 unique drills using just one chord and its inversions. Watch Part 1 now and stay tuned for parts 2, 3 and 4! 🎹 Take one chord and build ten gym-style piano workouts around it. In this practical lesson we use a single E7 (dominant seventh) chord and turn it into a full technique session that transfers to any chord you like. First we break down the E7 shape — root, major third, fifth and flat seventh — with sensible fingering for both hands and all four positions: root, first, second and third inversion. Then we run the ten drills: the inversion ladder, the siren, piano jumping jacks, the horn throw, the dead hang, the speed bag, the rope climb, the pyramid set, the crunch and a cool-down stretch. Along the way you'll practise arpeggios against block chords, alternating two-note patterns, tritone swaps between the third and flat seventh, finger-by-finger lifts, speed work with a bouncing wrist, hand-crossing and accent groupings in twos, threes, fives and sevens. This is for pianists who can build chords but want them to feel musical and coordinated.

Explore the Dead Hang finger-lift drill and the Horn Throw voicing technique to sharpen your hand independence. 🎹 🎹 Take one chord and build ten gym-style piano workouts around it. In this practical lesson we use a single E7 (dominant seventh) chord and turn it into a full technique session that transfers to any chord you like. First we break down the E7 shape — root, major third, fifth and flat seventh — with sensible fingering for both hands and all four positions: root, first, second and third inversion. Then we run the ten drills: the inversion ladder, the siren, piano jumping jacks, the horn throw, the dead hang, the speed bag, the rope climb, the pyramid set, the crunch and a cool-down stretch. Along the way you'll practise arpeggios against block chords, alternating two-note patterns, tritone swaps between the third and flat seventh, finger-by-finger lifts, speed work with a bouncing wrist, hand-crossing and accent groupings in twos, threes, fives and sevens. This is for pianists who can build chords but want them to feel musical and coordinated. Get your piano out, start slow and try every workout on other chords around the circle of fifths — then tell us your favourite gesture for the horn throw in the comments. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) - https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🏡 Visit our Channel for more Tutorials & Performances - https://geni.us/NathanielYouTube ============================= ▶️ Related Videos & Playlists 📂 Improvise over ONE chord - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9oizLJPiwwH_gvSH-IFu_V 📚 Making Chord Practice FUN with Circle of Fifths - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT-D6G1jDe18TFflopjjnxRG 🗂️ Chord Voicing & Inversions - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 📋 Arpeggios -…https://www.youtube.com/embed/RT3tOGZlWdo2026-08-28T07:00:10-07:0094
