I personally break out my iPad, open StaffPad, transcribe out applicable parts of your lesson to what I want to learn and use, edit and add additional instrumentation. And of course, learn and play on my piano. I love your channel for this! I've been watching long enough to remember missing your long hair look from many years back.

[@nathanielschool]

Thanks a ton for supporting us through the years David! Lots more lessons plan for composers with Theory & Ear Training!

@@nathanielschool hey brother. How does harmonizing with 3rds and 6ths work? I saw it on a video about counterpoint and got lost

[@braveen1000]

It's minor scale family. Natural, Horn Monica, melodic. Our parish assistant priest also teaches in my childhood. But you very elaborated. You are a kind. Thanks brother

[@nathanielschool]

Thanks for listening Saul!

you are on your way to becoming an (great) Institution, and a phenomenal one at that! How about collaborations with novices like us?

I'm always welcome Praveen! Do write to us at [e-mail] with your plans!

In 16:48 dear brother you can do the vocal please try it. 👏👏 I love and respect music. Music is the the voice of the creator.

[@nathanielschool]

Sure Saul. Thanks!

[@pranavbadwe.5535]

Great work sir 🙏 we compose music but sometimes we did not notice these things.. Your every lesson is an eye opener thank you🌹 please make more videos on composing and songwriting. We are waiting. Thank you again

[@nathanielschool]

Thank you for your kind words, Pranav! Glad you are enjoying every bit of it!😊

[@francisngigi5795]

Simply the best ever.

[@nathanielschool]

Thanks so much Francis!

[@coloaten6682]

It's as if you read my mind and then made this video!! I was trying to figure out how pianists improvise to come up with melodies & harmonies and this tells me so much. I knew they had to have some kind of plan, nobody improvises and decides what to play a millisecond before playing the note, they must have a general plan they are following and this video has answered my questions. Fantastic! Please do more videos for songwriters! Thanks Jason and team, your channel is amazing and i don't know why you don't have a million subs!! Best wishes from London. 😃

[@nathanielschool]

Surely Col! Thanks so much for watching the lesson and for your kind words ☺️

Thanks for this "empowering" lesson. Sometimes when I'm practicing, beautiful little bits of music sprout from the keyboard. This lesson will help me figure out how to help them grow. MANY thanks!

[@seattledanr5363]

Another great lesson! Thanks! I've got some cord progressions, and I learned from a previous video how to improvise melodies off the cord a little. This lesson gave me even more ways to improvise and create. (I sure wish I could sing melodies over the chords like you, but ugh...)

[@nathanielschool]

Great to hear Dan! Go for it ☺️

[@adegoyegasadiku3170]

Well done sir

[@nathanielschool]

Thanks a lot Adegoyega!

[@Stevethesearcher]

Thanks for the lesson Jason. After watching this video I would like you to expand on putting chords to a melody. In that regard also how to expand past simple harmony and use extended chords, borrowed chords, diminished chords etc. I personally can’t get enough music theory song composition videos. I am going to check out cadences after watching this video.

[@nathanielschool]

Great suggestion Steve! We've done so many lessons on these topics. Perhaps you can start here and use the search keywords on our channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIHLmpqJm8x3sMU

[@chrisbown317]

Great video, what scales are good to use when u go to certain chords in the major scales, say your in E major for example, would the E major scale sound good to improvise over every chord in the particular scale?

[@nathanielschool]

Thanks Chris! You can use all the modes or scales with align with specific chords of a progression. Say for the E major chord, you could improvise on Major, Pentatonic, Lydian, Mixolydian a few more!

[@chrisbown317]

Critically I sold my keyboard's because of marriage. But as you said I'm playing music in my phone because of this generation 😀

Its time to get back Saul 😀
