How to Creatively Practise Finger Crossovers for Piano Scales (The Pendulum)

    Finger crossovers can be creative, not just mechanical — this lesson teaches them with an approach called The Pendulum. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music teaches how to practise finger crossovers for piano scales using a creative concept called The Pendulum. Part of a three-part series, you'll work on key technical aspects of piano playing while staying creative, applying the exercises to both major and minor scales with correct posture and fingering. The Pendulum crosses your fingers on both sides of the root, opening up melodic possibilities above and below the pitch centre 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/ #FingerCrossovers #PianoScales #PianoTechnique
