Beat Division on Piano (Part 1): How to Divide the Beat
Learn beat division on piano: keep a simple right-hand melody while spare fingers and your left hand add rhythmic notes and harmony. Compare the phrase slowly and at normal speed with Jason Zac. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music demonstrates beat division by keeping the melody unchanged and adding rhythmic notes with the remaining right-hand fingers and the left hand. Hear the simple melody on its own, compare the fuller version slowly, then listen at normal 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 🎵 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/ #BeatDivision #RhythmForBeginners #PianoRhythm Chapters 00:00 Opening piano demonstration 01:07 How beat division fills out the melody 01:55 The melody played slowly 02:35 Adding extra subdivisions 03:16 The phrase at normal speed
