5 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 📞 Call +91 98454 65411 · 💬 WhatsApp chat +91 77604 56847 📧 Customised & Private Classes ➡️ music@nathanielschool.com 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music ➡️ https://riffs.jasonzacmusic.com/ #HarmonicMinor #MusicTheory #PianoTheory
