Learn ALL 12 Major & Minor Piano Chords (Triads) Using Intervals, Shapes & Theory
Learn to form and play all 12 major and minor chords (triads) on the piano three different ways — using intervals, shapes and theory. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music teaches you how to build every major and minor triad from the ground up. First you'll construct a triad note by note using fifths via the Circle of Fifths, training your ear to the sound of the fifth interval, then add the major and minor third. A second approach uses the unique visual shape of each chord so you can recognise and play all 12 major and minor triads at a glance. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Building Triads (Major & Minor) 01:08 D major & D minor triads 01:46 Using the Circle of Fifths 02:24 Hearing the 5th 02:54 Forming the Thirds (Major & Minor) 04:20 Chord Shapes (Major Triads) 09:14 Chord Shapes (Minor Triads) 11:07 Revision & Conclusion 🏫 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 🔄 Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 🎼 Music Theory Lessons (Playlist) ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory 🎶 All our Arpeggio Lessons (Playlist) ➡️ https://geni.us/Arpeggios ============================= 🎓 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/ #PianoTriads #PianoChords #MusicTheory
