The 5 Pillars of Piano Accompaniment for ANY Genre
Learn 5 pillars of piano accompaniment — ballads, arpeggios, march and dance — that let you back a vocalist, choir, band, or yourself in any genre. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music uses an inspiring chord progression to dive into the real challenges of piano accompaniment — for a vocalist, choir, band, or when you sing and play at the same time. You'll learn 5 techniques that each start from a basic rhythm pattern and progress into different time feels using simple beat-division concepts. Recommended for pianists at all skill levels, the lesson covers syncopation, grooving and following the drummer across ballads, arpeggios, march and dance feels. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 Performance 01:00 Introduction 02:32 Chord Progression 04:54 Ballad Chords 06:13 Exploring Time Feels 07:57 Executing Eight Notes (Quaver Feel) 09:18 Dividing by 3 (Triplets) 10:00 Sixteenth Notes (Semiquavers) 12:08 Time Feels with Shakers 12:54 Basic Piano Arpeggios 18:01 Following the Bongos 20:33 Marching on the Piano 23:35 Dance Rhythm Patterns (Tresillo) 25:29 Syncopation vs Grooving 28:04 Following the Drummer 28:55 We will Rock You 35:21 Revision & 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/ #PianoAccompaniment #AccompanimentPatterns #PianoLesson
