Advanced Left-Hand Piano Workout for Melodic Independence
An advanced left-hand piano workout — 5 rhythm patterns that hold down harmony and rhythm while your right hand sings the melody. In Part 2 of this series, Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music teaches 5 more important left-hand rhythm patterns designed to support a right-hand melody while maintaining a steady pulse. You'll work through choppy stabs, melodic missing beats, the 3:2 son clave, a 'follow the drummer' beatbox feel and a dotted eighth-note pulse — training your hands to play genuinely independent roles.
