Hand Independence Exercises for Piano Using Sixteenth Notes (Part 2)
Build serious hand independence with these sixteenth-note exercises — a steady left hand under a busy right. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music teaches sixteenth-note exercises for hand independence, playing a chord pattern in the right hand supported by the root and 5th as the pulse in the left. You'll also pick up some interesting chord voicings and creative turnaround options at the end of the progression. It's Part 2 of a focused workout for truly independent hands 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/ #HandIndependence #SixteenthNotes #PianoExercises Chapters 00:00 Piano hand independence in sixteenth notes 01:13 Count the sixteenth-note grid 01:33 G minor seventh and C seventh voicings 02:12 Right-hand rhythm and anticipated chord change 02:42 Break up the chord at the end of the bar 03:14 Keep a steady pulse beneath the pattern 05:01 Left-hand root-and-fifth pulse 06:55 Different articulation in each hand 07:40 Change the bass with the chords 08:55 E flat ninth turnaround 10:38 Add a D dominant turnaround 11:55 Left-hand notes for the turnaround 12:22 Recap and slow full exercise
