How to Really Practice Scales on Piano: Creative Rhythms (Part 4)
Practice Major scales ascending and descending using creative rhythmic approaches that build real improvisation skills. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music continues this 5-part series on practising Major scales with creative rhythmic approaches. Each exercise develops your improvisation while you hold the shape and fingering of the scale. It is designed to be far more interesting than running the scale up and down for pure speed and dexterity, so your scale practice actually makes you more 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 🎵 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/ #PianoScales #ScalePractice #PianoRhythm Chapters 00:00 Practise piano scales with clave rhythms 00:33 Hear the son-clave pattern 00:54 Apply clave accents to the scale 01:24 Count the sixteenth-note grid 01:55 Practise slowly while keeping the groove 03:16 Try other clave patterns 03:52 Keep a steady left-hand pulse beneath the scale
