Syncopation on Piano: Make Your Chord Progressions Groove
Learn syncopation on piano with eighth- and sixteenth-note chord patterns. Jason Zac divides the rhythm between both hands, varies the accents, breaks up chords and adds a melody. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music demonstrates a technique for creating compelling syncopated rhythmic phrases out of ordinary chord progressions. You'll learn how to develop different rhythms and subdivisions and then apply the technique to play a tune — so the same chords go from stiff and predictable to alive and grooving. 🏫 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 🥁 Rhythm Concepts & Patterns (Playlist) ➡️ https://geni.us/RhythmChops 💪🏽 Hand Independence (Playlist) ➡️ https://geni.us/HandIndependence 🎼 Music Theory Lessons (Playlist) ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory ============================= 🎓 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/ #Syncopation #PianoRhythm #PianoLesson Chapters 00:00 Syncopation on piano 01:25 Create rhythm from a chord progression 01:46 The three chords for the exercise 02:35 Start with eighth notes and a metronome 03:21 Split the pattern between both hands 03:33 Use sixteenth-note subdivisions 04:17 Different rhythmic patterns in each hand 05:21 Play the pattern with the metronome 07:00 Slow practice and the drum-groove analogy 07:32 Explore different subdivisions 08:28 Break up the chord notes 09:49 Root and fifth against the third 10:40 Add a melody 11:38 Sing the melody 12:23 Recap and practice suggestions
