Piano Scales & Chords: One Exercise for All 12 Keys (Part 2)
Build on Jason Zac's scale-and-chord exercise with natural and harmonic minor scales, all 12 keys, left-hand triads and pairs of thirds. Add a steady bass groove and sing the notes for ear training. Jason Zac, piano faculty of Nathaniel School of Music, demonstrates an exercise that combines scales, triads and timing in one routine. The scale is played in a rhythmic manner together with the chord in ascending and descending order, building coordination and a steady sense of pulse. 🏫 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 📞 +91 77604 56847 (Mobile & WhatsApp) 📧 Customised & Private Classes ➡️ music@nathanielschool.com 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music ➡️ https://riffs.jasonzacmusic.com/ #PianoScales #PianoTriads #PianoExercises Chapters 00:00 Scale-and-chord exercise: further variations 00:49 Try natural and harmonic minor scales 02:50 Explore other left-hand bass notes 03:57 Add a left-hand groove 04:37 Sing the bass notes for ear training 05:35 Left-hand triads 06:15 Left-hand pairs of thirds 07:20 Recap of the left-hand patterns 08:28 Practise the exercise in all keys
