The Harmony Exercise That Drills Every Chord on the Piano
Here's an "all-in-one" Piano exercise to practice every single chord in the left hand along with a harmonic melody line in the right hand. Train your hand independence, chord shifting skills and rhythm all at the same time. Using a 5/4 time signature, we develop a melody line that flows smoothly across the whole tone scale and then support it with Major 6, Major 7, Dominant 7, Minor 7 and Major 9 chords in the left hand. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - Performance 00:59 - Introduction 01:45 - Whole Tone Scale 02:52 - Augmented Chords 05:21 - Harmonic Melody 09:10 - Triads in the Left Hand 09:47 - Major 6th, 7th & Dominant 7th 11:37 - Relative Minor Chords 14:50 - Major 9th Voicing in the LH 16:12 - What you can gain from the Lesson 17:36 - 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/ #WholeToneScale #PianoChords #HandIndependence
