The Two-Hand Piano Scale & Chord Exercise (Speed Up Your Practice)
Speed up your piano practice with one combo exercise that trains a scale in the right hand and diatonic chords in the left at the same time. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music plays a natural minor scale pattern in the right hand while the left hand progresses from simple chord roots to thirds, fifths, diatonic triads and seventh chords. It's an efficient way to build technique and theory together - one drill that covers scales, intervals and chords so every minute of practice counts. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Performance 00:16 Combo Piano Exercise 01:48 The Natural Minor 03:16 Writing down the Scale 04:46 Left Hand - Chord Roots 06:57 Left Hand - Diatonic Thirds 07:38 Left Hand - Fifth Intervals 08:42 Left Hand - Triads 11:33 Left Hand - Seventh Chords 15:02 Right Hand Melodic Pattern 23:17 Combo - Chord Roots in LH 23:48 Combo - Octaves in LH 24:39 Combo - Fifths in LH 25:01 Combo - Triads in LH 25:38 Combo - Seventh Chords in LH 27:25 Practice Goals 🏫 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 🙌🏽 Hand Independence (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT-On4vodpAoZqTlWDCS5jv7 🎵 Music Theory reference ➡️ https://geni.us/MusicTheory ============================= 🎓 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/ #PianoScales #DiatonicChords #PianoExercise
