Practice Chord Inversions With Secondary Dominants for Richer Piano Harmony
Want richer-sounding piano chords fast? This lesson shows you how to practise chord inversions through secondary dominants so your progressions instantly gain colour and motion. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music walks you through practising chord inversions while weaving in secondary dominants, a simple harmonic device that adds pull and sophistication to ordinary chord changes. You'll see how to set up the inversions across the keyboard, hear how a secondary dominant brightens the road into the next chord, and build a practice routine that trains both your hands and your ear at the same time. It's a practical way to make your everyday chords sound more interesting without learning a whole new vocabulary. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 Performance 00:21 Introduction 2:12 Chord Progression & Voicing 12:19 Arpeggio Patterns (HMLM) 14:57 Melodic using Inversions 17:03 Repeating the Top Note 18:17 Floating the Top Note 20:29 Melodic Shapes ============================= 📹 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/ #SecondaryDominants #ChordInversions #PianoChords
