Discover 5 ways to classify and analyze the chords of the Major scale on the piano.

From triad formation to Dorian, Aeolian and Mixolydian analysis, you will finally see how melody meets harmony and gain a complete picture of the chords inside any key. 🏫 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/ #DiatonicChords #MajorScale #MusicTheory Chapters 00:00 Understand chords of the major scale 01:51 Build the seven diatonic triads 04:29 Compare the chords’ emotional colours 04:56 Functional harmony: tonic chords 06:40 Dominant chords and resolution 08:20 Subdominant chords and chord connections 09:33 Recap tonic, subdominant and dominant functions 11:15 Cadences and chord-sequence endings 11:47 Plagal cadence 12:46 Deceptive and half cadences 14:10 Match melody notes with chords 15:54 Modal chord analysis 16:42 The relative-minor sound 19:08 Dorian colour 20:21 Mixolydian colour 21:30 Recap the five perspectives
