Practise Dominant Resolution on Piano Using the Circle of Fifths
Practise dominant 7th chord resolution with Jason Zac. Build C7 and Cm7, use the circle of fifths to resolve C7 to F or F minor, then hear A7 resolve to D in this piano theory lesson. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shows you how to practise dominant resolution on the piano, using the circle of fifths to drill the strong pull from a dominant chord back to its tonic. You'll work around the circle, hearing and playing how each dominant chord wants to resolve, so this fundamental movement becomes second nature in every key. It's an essential workout for understanding why progressions feel like they're going somewhere — and for training your hands and ears to deliver that resolution. 🏫 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 📞 Call +91 98454 65411 · 💬 WhatsApp chat +91 77604 56847 📧 Customised & Private Classes ➡️ music@nathanielschool.com 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music ➡️ https://riffs.jasonzacmusic.com/ #DominantResolution #CircleOfFifths #PianoHarmony Chapters 00:00 Dominant resolution and the circle of fifths 00:50 Dominant seventh and minor seventh chords 01:45 Resolving anticlockwise around the circle 02:39 Using dominant chords beyond the key 03:07 Piano demonstration: C7 to F 03:47 A7 and resolution around the circle
