This tutorial is about how to harmonize any melody on your piano or keyboard. But, it's not about plunking out a melody in your right hand and putting a chord in your left hand. It's about learning a simple system of harmonizing a melody on the keyboard so you can sound like a professional.

This was exactly what I was looking for and need! Thank you so much! Perfect explanation, example and display!👍
WHAT? Only 17.4 thousand subs? You deserve 17, 4 million at least! After many other tutorials that I checked I finally found you: explaining so intelligently, clearly and finally also telling some facts that nobody else didn't. Subscribed immediately.
Thank you for your kind comments.
Thank you for explaining alittle easier to understand piano music on major and minor notes.
Your genius for playing is only surpassed by your technique for teaching. You are great. Thank you, R
Wow! Im about to start watching all of your videos.. You made that so simple to understand!
Sir, you are an incredible teacher! thank you
I like the way you have linked basic music theory to explain harmonisation. Excellent video. I can play chords in their respective root positions but experience difficulty when it comes to inversions. Do you have any tips and tricks to master inversions, please?
Wow...great tutorial, man!! I really wished we had UA-cam back in the day in the late 1980s when I took piano lessons in my early teens.
Thank you is all I can say. I have been studying piano for a year and had no clue why melodies where played the way they are played, with this video I understand everything. Maybe I'll have to work in the inversions tho lol, they are complicated to improvise and to coordinate with the left hand at the same time thinking.
This is so precious! This is exactly what I need to make my music sound great! Thank you for sharing this generously! I will follow your class.
thank you for sharing your knowledge God bless. greetings from Okhy Channel from Indonesia 🙏🙏
people: Oh you look like u ve been playing for so long when did u started
Me: yesterday :b
This is AWESOME..DEF WATCHING AGAIN
Very, very good explanation of the basics! Excellent tutorial!
Like other comments before mine...mad props. Great system.
Great tutorial I ever seen in chords...thank you
Thank you for your kind comment and i appreciate your feedback.
Thank for explaining to beginner. Makes better sense now.
Thank you for your comment and I this tutorial helped you.
Amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. 🙂🙌🏽
For me, the easiest way in the world to spontaneously harmonize a melody with bass or root notes is to simply play the root note at one, three, or five note intervals plus one octave below the melodic notes played on the main downbeats. All I do is look at whatever note I’m playing on the right hand on the main downbeat and play with my left hand pinky the notes at 1, 3, or 5 note intervals below the current melodic note. So while I’m playing any given song melody “by ear” on my right hand, I am harmonizing not by ear but instead “by sight”. When discovered this simple trick, I was suddenly able to play songs by ear in piano which I was never able to do over my 40+ years playing the piano!
Great & pracrical explanation.
Thank you.
Really helpful. Thank you
I got lost halfway 😂 dont get me wrong, youre a great teacher.. its me whos stupid and has zero talent
Thanks for explaining this. Really helpful.
Can you please also provide some guidance on harmonizing little more difficult songs (e.g. Can't help falling in love or What a wonderful world or Can you feel the love tonight). For the three songs that I mentioned, I have heard on UA-cam some really beautiful and innovative harmonized versions using Piano. However, just by listening, I am not able to figure out which chords are being played (my limitation, I guess). Some guidance and ideas would be highly appreciated. Thanks!
Amazing! Thank you so much.
Excellent tutorial. Good for harpist too
Nice.. thanks from NZ 👍🇳🇿
That's a very useful and easy-to-comprehend video and spreadsheet. I learnt fingering from the video too, it's intuitively easy for pianists, self-learners, however, struggle with it a lot. So if you are looking for a video ideas, tutorial on fingering would help me a lot :)
Question: does the same technique apply to minor scales? So that in A minor, I'll use A, D, E triads primarily to harmonize each note.
Since the Major and relative minor have the same tones, you can definitely apply this to both.
Great tutorial.THANK YOU
Hi Geoff, thank you for your comment.
I'm all ears ❤
Nice video! Thanks very much!
perfect explanation. thank u
Best tutorial ever
Hi 1052230, Thank you for your comment.
God damn ive spent a decade just learning covers by memory and playing but now that im trying to learn theory to compose, videos like this are really enlightening. Im starting to really appreciate the “math” logic behind music. When i used to think people just made melodies from their mind it was intimidating but im really starting to understand how people can freestyle improvise or use certain rules to compose. Its really a beautiful thing. Great video thanks for this
Sir: I need to get something explained in 4:06 section of this video. When you harmonize a note on the C Major Scale does the Chord that harmonizes the note get played below Middle C and does the Note that is harmonized get played on or after Middle C of the piano keyboard. Thank you, this is wonderful. R
Thanks🙏
Great stuff 👍 thanks
Thanks! God bless you
I have some concerns about how to play the progression , do I have to go back to the one chord between the 1-4-5?
Hi thanks so much, i do have arthritis in both hands but I’m determined to play melodies.
Info personfied!!! Thx., so very much.
Thank you for your kind comment James. I'm glad this video helped you. Keep learning.

verrry helpful
Thank you!
I wish to add to the so many thanks people hav given, this is really good work representing a big heart you have. Pliz keep sharing to us, we shall reach there too.
Okay I need help I can't seem to find this answer say we are in the key of G and the chord Is G and the melody is B, A , G, A. What if I play that same melody in the same key but instead its F#, E, D, E. Is there a certain name for this or is this wrong?
Sir: at the 4:06 of this great video you state that G Chord (GBD) will harmonize the D Note on the C Major Scale. I am asking about the fingering to see if I understand it. Does the G Chord GBD get played below Middle C and the D Note that it harmonizes get played on the D Note after Middle C. Thank you, R
Great video. Can you please tell me what software you use to connect your midi keyboard to a virtual color keyboard display?
Hi Juliet, thank you for your nice comment. The keyboard is called VMPK virtual midi piano keyboard. It can be found at sourceforge.net . It's an (open source) free program. It's pretty easy to use.
Very informative...thank's.
Thank you Ian. I appreciate you watching.
Hello. Great video. What is the wirtual piano software you used to make the video? I mean how do you do to show the digital piano on top of the real piano? Thanks.
Hi, Thank you for the comment. The software I'm using is called VMPK. It stands for virtual midi piano keyboard. It's a free open source application. Just google it and you can download it for free. I'm recording using a screen capture application called Microsoft Expression Encoder Screen Capture. I think you can download that one for free but you can use any screen capture software. I then superimpose the video over the keyboard overhead shot. I hope this helps you. Thank you again.
Thank u sir ..God bless
Thank you for watching. God Bless You Also.
It take how to get this piano lesson into head.
It take how long for a person to get a piano lesson into head and know of to play.....
🙏🙏

Thank you very much for sharing this..I have seen people playing harmonies in right hand and always been confused how they figure out which notes other than the melody notes to play.
This is one of the best explanations I have seen on youtube. Very resourceful. Also you clarified that one doesnt need to harmonize 8ths and 16ths notes where melody is fast paced- I also had doubt regarding that and you clarified it without asking. U are a very good teacher.
Thanks for sharing this precious knowledge with us on UA-cam...
GREAT Tutorial. Thank you for your time in teaching us.
Hi Anthony, Thank you for watching.
The best tutorial 🤗 thank you ! 🙏

Hi, @@kingsleyeffiong1599 Thank you for your comment and subscribing. I'll have more coming soon.
Absolutely a superb video. Taught me things I never knew.
I love you man. You are a great teacher
Thank you for the kind comment.
I appreciate the straight to the point, no nonsense explanation. Keep it Up Bro!
Wow you unlocked a key of knowledge i couldn't ever understand learning on my own. Thank you!
Wow, great lesson! First time I've heard of 3 steps down for a minor from each MaJor Chord, thanks!
Hi Lisa, thank you for your comment and hope share even more with you this year.
How do we know when to play Minor in a major key?
This is the perfection of harmony teaching🤩🤩
Thank you so much for this great tutorial! You've shown us a super and simple way to figure out what notes/chords to play for both the left hand and the right hand. I wish I'd known about this a long time ago!
Mind blown -- wish I'd understood this decades ago. Your tutorials are so clear!
This is awesome .....
New subscriber bro 👍
So if I want to harmonize say Autumn Leaves, I use which ever inversion of a 1,4, or 5 chord in the right hand that has the correct melody note on top? And in the left hand I can play the root note of the chord or a 1,5 or a 151, or ?(what else)? Am I getting what you are saying? Also, how could I make Autumn Leaves, or any song, sound more jazzy? Add 7ths, 9ths, 11ths, 13ths? What would you do? Thanks in advance. Really trying to get this.
You're absolutely correct about the concept. This is about harmonizing simple melodies without using advanced color tones such as the ones you mentioned. You definitely can incorporate them but that goes beyond the simple harmonization in this tutorial. I would suggest that use the concept here and then add in those tones to make more jazzier sounding chords.
Learn Color Piano Thank you. On another subject, Could you clarify where the improvising over the 2,5,1 progression concept comes in? Does a song, say even Happy Birthday, have to already have a 251 progression or is this something that is done separate from any existing song? I see lots of videos on this subject but no explanation of how to apply this to any song?
This video is interesting. I'll watch zgain. Subscribed and looked at the gujde. First reaction: colors add another layer of confusion. Why is it mainly piano ppl are expected to simultaneously translate six or seven languages: hand-eye, ear, grand staff, chord symbols, number systems, Italian, and now the rainbow!?
Very grateful to you...your tuition is so rational , makes understanding so much more uplifting. Thanks so much.
Sir: I understand from your wonderful video that C - G - C - F - G - F - G -C
Is it also correct from your notes that the first Primarcy Chord can be F (F instead of the C) - G - C and can F - C(the C instead of the G)?????
Again many thanks.
Thank you so much. If all teachers taught like you, no one would give up. Thank you again.
I totally disagree with teachers who teach way above the heads of their students. This guy talks to people who actually don't know their scales, don't know names of any chords, etc. In short, people who have no foundation. So typical of people who want to teach intermediates or advanced, and have no patience for true beginners. So many Internet piano teachers fit this pattern. Sad! This guy is teaching the basics of composition to people who don't know the first thing about music theory.
Sir: in time set 11:21 you say are playing the C Major Chord but in order to harmonize you play the A Note in the Bass. Because of your tutelage and genius I get that. However, you state while press the A Bass that this is two, three, six and seven. Will you please clear up that statement. Again, thank you much for sharing your genius with amateurs. Respectfully,
R
Oh no, I have very mild synesthesia. Only the key of F major is green, obviously. C is a certain shade of red, darker than true red. D is ochre. G is blue.
If I have to sing in C chords What will I use please answer my question I’m interested in learning how to use my keyboard thank you very much
not necessarily, the top notes can be used to harmonies the lower notes...example, the altos will sing the melody while the sopranos will sing the harmony...being creative is the key...
Great instructions. It is a video that makes it difficult and can not ask questions. Like, what the hell are you talking about?
Lovely. Thanks a lot for the video. I really like playing piano. :)
Hi Greg. Bingo . Just as said it would. Applying the chord inversion principle. Root in LH ,playing the melody in the RH.
Slowly. Allowing K........sense to groove in. For the first time in many many many years I successfully worked through all 12 keys.
I used the melody: Mary had a ......................,!
In closing thanks ! Question : WHO WAS IT WHO MADE MUSIC EDUCATION DIFFICULT? ?????😃😃😃😃😃😃😃🎩🎓🎓🎓🎓🎓
Hi Hilary, thank you for your comment. Music is like a lot of things, it's sometimes made a lot more difficult than it has to be.
Nice video. This is true if someone else is playing the song. What if you are accompanying yourself on the piano? And you are not singing
excelente puede haber algo en español. Gracias
Thanks for Precious knowledge
Thank you I learned a lot
Ts a good lesson ofcoz congrtz
very very beautiful lesson ❤thank you teacher
"Just think of that note as a bonus" - best explanation of 7th chords ever!
Because I play by ear I thought I might be able to learn something by watching your channel so I subscribed. Thanks.
3 semitones down leads to relative minor?
Very nice
Why does 4th note harmonized with 4th chord, while 5th note is harmonized with 1st chord instead of 5th chord?
Because the 4th note is present in the 4 chord as the root. The 5th note is not present in the 4 chord. The 5th note is harmonized with the 1st chord because it is present in that chord as the 5th.
🎤can I borrow 3 minutes of your time coz I want to play the BEST QUEEN MEDLEY for all of you in 3minutes🎹🎹🎹

Sorry, I didn't understand what "L" meant.
Sir: This lesson is what should be taught by every teacher. Having you in this video is like having a private tutor. This lesson is the real deal it teaches it does not preach. I am having a hard time downloading the The Easiest Piano Melody Harmonization System in the World. Please would it be possible for you to email me the lesson. With respect and gratitude. Bravo Maestro. A
The explanations are just beautiful. Though very basic without ingesting these fundamental harmonizing ideas, building up your skill won't be complete. Thanks for sharing such nice concepts👍👍
