The Step-by-step🪜 Solo Piano 🎹 Arrangement Toolkit 🛠

It’s sometimes tricky to learn all the aspects of Piano technique - Hand independence, Chord patterns, left-hand bass accompaniment and put it all together on the Piano to sound beautiful!
I’ve tried to incorporate a simple melody with just 4 notes in the right hand and support it with a lot of patterns in the left hand to work on your coordination, dynamics, chord progressions & rhythm patterns

Good day Jason, thank you very much for your tutorial lesson, we always learn something different from you .🙏❤️👍

[@nathanielschool]

My pleasure 😊

[@MCForty]

Superb Jason. I've spent the whole weekend studying this tutorial and it's really helping with one of my biggest failings; syncopation. After two days of very very slow practicing I was able to play all of the left-hand rhythms including; we will rock you; tresillo and clave, plus I even played the melody with some other typical drum patterns in the left-hand. I've done really well with this lesson this weekend and the biggest secret to getting that syncopation is to take it as slowly as you need and then increase the speed gradually; then it's just a matter of regular practice until it beds into the muscle memory. Thanks again!

[@nathanielschool]

Well put Mcforty, taking things at our pace is probably one of the most important factors in learning. Super happy that you spent the weekend learning this lesson.....keep going 👍

[@CarbideShrapnel]

I get so tripped up when adding different rhythms in the left hand. The right hand stutters everytime the left wants to add to what is going on. It is deflating my confidence a bit. I know this is what I need to level up but it just does not seem to click. I will keep trying and regardless of any of that I know I am growing as a player through many of your lessons.

[@nathanielschool]

Take you time and pratice consistently Michael, im sure you will get better with every passing day. The fact that you are putting in the effort and not quitting is probably the single most important thing. Cheers!

[@CarbideShrapnel]

@Jason Zac - Nathaniel School of Music Thank you Jason. I am practicing and playing almost every single day. I am a little less than 6 months into really putting in the effort so I should probably go a little bit easier on myself.

[@PeterMajewski-gr3re]

Why do you keyboard players ALWAYS prefer the flat keys???? It is in direct contrast with us guitar players. Yes, we can use a capo, but that is never ideal for us. BTW you are very good! How much practice does it take to get to this level?

[@nathanielschool]

Thanks Peter. You need to keep at it 🤘🏽
