One Trick, Endless Piano Progressions: Reharmonise I–IV–V Across Many Scales

Just the major and minor chord and the I–IV–V framework are enough to generate endless piano progressions — and this lesson shows you how to unlock them. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music explores how the simple I–IV–V progression transforms when you apply it across many scales beyond the plain major. By varying the scale behind I–IV–V you generate numerous musical themes and melodic phrases using nothing more than major and minor chords — a fast, practical tool for songwriting and improvisation on the piano. If you can play three chords, you can use this method to create far more music than you'd expect. 🏫 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 🎹 All our lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory 👂 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/ #PianoLessons #PianoTutorial #ChordProgressions #MusicTheory #PianoChords Chapters 00:00 Reharmonise a one-four-five progression 00:54 Start with G major, C major and D major 02:07 Change the major and minor chord qualities 03:16 Try all three chords as minor 04:28 Minor one, minor four and major five 05:44 Eight major-minor combinations 06:21 Major one, minor four and major five 07:03 Major one, major four and minor five 08:18 Minor one, major four and major five 08:41 Minor one, major four and minor five 09:57 Major one, minor four and minor five 10:47 Recap the reharmonisation choices
