Passing Chords Made Easy: Transform Your Piano Progressions Step by Step

Learn how to use passing chords on the piano with three key concepts: slash chords, secondary dominants and secondary diminished. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music makes passing chords easy by building them around three important music theory and composition concepts, slash chords, secondary dominants and secondary diminished. Based on the number of notes that resolve to chords other than the tonic, you find a home away from home, full of ideas to reharmonize and add flavour to an existing chord progression. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - Performance 🎶 00:44 - Introduction 👋 01:17 - Types of Passing Chords 02:09 - Chromatic Note before the Target (Landing) 📝 03:10 - Chord Qualities - Functional Harmony Basics 03:32 - The new home - Tension to Resolution 03:54 - What Are Passing Chords? 🎵 04:23 - G Major → Slash Chords 04:55 - G/D & G/B Explained 05:49 - How to form a Slash Chord? 06:33 - Singing the Chord Tones 07:17 - Logic Behind the Resolution 10:08 - Resolving to all chords of G Major 11:52 - Building Melody ✨ 12:10 - Application of Slash Chords over the G major scale 13:18 - Secondary Dominants - Music Theory 14:14 - Resolving to A minor 15:01 - F# is the 5 of the B 15:39 - All Secondary chords of the G Major Scale 16:29 - Double Resolution 17:14 - Understanding Secondary Diminished Chords 17:49 - Diminished 7th Chord 18:18 - 4 Resolution Points 19:14 - Dim7 → Dominant 7 → Major/Minor Triad 19:57 - How to resolve to the 4th Degree - C Major 20:50 - Resolving to E Minor 21:20 - Conclusion ============================= 📹 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/ #PassingChords #SecondaryDominants #PianoChords
