Today, I’ve got something exciting for you—a new video with a great exercise for strengthening your left hand. In this video, we’ll be practicing chords, but not just any regular chord playing. We’re going to break those chords up into what are called left-hand patterns, which will help you bring more depth and emotion to your piano playing.

Why are left-hand patterns so important?

When we play chords in the left hand, we’re often breaking them into different rhythmic or melodic patterns. This approach adds movement and richness to your music, making your left hand a powerful tool for accompaniment. It’s the key to turning basic chords into something truly beautiful.

Want to dive deeper?

If you want to take this further and jump into an intense but fun training focused on left-hand chords and patterns, my new course, Chords & Left-Hand Patterns – The Ultimate Power Training, is designed just for that! You can get it for a special launch price of $47 (normally $294) for a limited time.

    I really like this way of playing chords! After watching your video, it became so clear to me that this is exactly what we’ve been playing with the left hand in so many songs, maybe even all the songs I’ve ever played. But seeing it from this perspective is really eye-opening, and I can tell it’s going to help me a lot moving forward. Thanks so much for sharing!
