[@nathanielschool]

Hi Robert. Here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fH-oYZR3YtutncU&ab_channel=JasonZac-NathanielSchoolofMusic

[@krnbhs]

Happy 2022 Jason. I love following your videos. For a keyboard/piano enthusiast like me, who has learned both eastern and western notations upto the intermediary level, and eager to work out something creative at the most basic of levels, I have found your videos extremely interesting. In this video between 15:40 lasting for about a minute, I felt the rhythm you played is closer to the 7 8 beat....The mishra chaap of carnatic...Is it how you planned it? Thank you

[@nathanielschool]

Thanks Raghu! And Happy new year to you and your family!

[@Musicsharmony]

[@nathanielschool]

Thanks a ton, Prince. I will surely do, and regarding your suggestion, could you see some of our lessons linked up below: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5nJk6aBdrtogZY kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqi7i5R5pcaDY68 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqCQd6p8jJd4l8k

[@geoffboyd2895]

Fantastic lesson buddy, where I'm really struggling is eith left hand playing root more than on the first hit ie beat one of each round, the moment I try to play 2/3/4 it messes up the right hand! It actually doesn't sound bad with only playing the left once each round so to speak 'each d,e,g,sharp ie so on the d, but it's very annoying!

[@nathanielschool]

Yep! Very tricky for me too Geoff. The 1 comes most naturally!

[@srinivasulubs]

Thank u Jason sir

[@nathanielschool]

Most welcome Srinivas!

[@justinw.3156]

Wow.

[@nathanielschool]

Thanks a ton Justin!

[@arulrozariomusic]

superb thalaiva

[@nathanielschool]

Many thanks Arul and best wishes!

[@qra80]

Happy new year from your fan....Positive gamer... Great point shared around 2:31... Jason you are a very natural and genuine musician... The commercial music scene is polluted by the stronghold of a particular mafiya, which exists in USA, BRITAIN, BOLLYWOOD AND even in nearby country... you must be well aware of that and the extent of that... very slight chance that this mafiya thing is not impactful... But the main thing I am concerned about is ... whether a genuine musician can pursue reasonable career in music while staying away ftom that mafiya or not ?

[@nathanielschool]

Thanks a ton! Yes you can! But you need to strike the balance! There are also numerous careers in the Music Business - Recording, Editing, Mixing and Production so there's always work which you can find if you have the skills for it. However, some jobs might not interest you always. That's the nature of all fields!

[@giovanniprofeta3699]

This video comes out at the right time, yesterday I was writing a melody in D, what are the odds? My melody was bland, it needs work, and rhythm! What is the time signature at the end?

[@nathanielschool]

Awesome! Stay tuned for Part 2 Giovanni! More will be revealed!

[@patriciaann6380]

Oh I love your comment " the piano has lots of tricks up its sleeve " mine has tricks all over the place it fools me all the time 😂😂 I love all of your tutorials xx

[@nathanielschool]

Haha! Wonderful Patricia! Thanks for watching!

[@jasonbourne488]

Which normally comes first when composing - rhythm, melody or chords?

[@wayfarer1101]

Either one of the the three or sometimes even the meter of the lyrics gives you the start. I've written about 30 songs and the way a song started was oftentimes inspired by lyrics, followed by chords or a riff. Whatever grabs you. 🙂

[@nathanielschool]

Well said. Yes! We don't really start with anything as such. We practice our craft as best as possible so when the creative moment comes, we just let things flow!

[@harshmishra7054]

sir i want to practice and learn more in piano but i dont know where i am lacking behind .. what i can do to improve my skills and become a great player

[@nathanielschool]

Sure Harsh. Perhaps you can consider one of our Piano courses. The foundation program with me is the best we recommend which includes both Practical exercises & Music Theory. Can you go through the syllabus here: www.nathanielschool.com/keyboard

[@PostProductionors]
