Fusion Piano Exercise Using an Indian Pentatonic Raga (All 12 Keys)
Practise a fusion piano finger exercise built on a beautiful Indian pentatonic scale (raga) - across all 12 keys, in both hands. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music breaks down the intervals that give this pentatonic raga its colour, then plays the pattern through every key with the correct posture and technique for each one. It's a workout that also sharpens your ear training and feel for intervals. Stay tuned for Part 2, where the same scale is used for improvisation. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Performance 00:28 Introduction 01:20 Intervals used in the Fusion Scale 02:20 Scale used Key of D 04:22 Key of C 06:31 Key of E 07:09 Key of F 08:04 Key of G 08:19 Key of A 08:36 Key of B 09:45 Key of Db 10:32 Key of Eb 10:58 Key of F# 11:30 Key of Ab 11:50 Key of Bb 12:23 Making the exercise 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 👂 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 📞 Call +91 98454 65411 · 💬 WhatsApp chat +91 77604 56847 📧 Customised & Private Classes ➡️ music@nathanielschool.com 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music ➡️ https://riffs.jasonzacmusic.com/ #FusionPiano #IndianRaga #PianoExercises
