harmony - how to weave beautiful music

(And Know How You Did It)

  • How to determine what key a song is in (by understanding “tonal music”)

  • How to make your music satisfying to the listener by understanding the “tonal logic” built into the human ear

  • How to get an ambiguous-sounding chord progression “back on track” toward a tonal center

  • How to create tension and variety in your music without losing the sense of resolution and cohesiveness

  • How to distinguish “strong” chord changes/choices versus “weaker” ones

  • How to establish a tonal center or “key” with only two or three chords

  • How to know where to start - using a list of common chord changes or “harmonic tendencies”

  • How to explore multiple potential “keys” a song could belong to

  • How to write in a minor key

  • How to use notes from outside the key (accidentals) without losing the tonal center

This is the invaluable lesson on Harmony that I wish I had when I was starting out. It would have saved me many hours of confusion, research and reading. Western music is all about establishing a tonal center and then playing with the expectations of the listener by creating a push-pull effect around that tonal center. When you know which chords push away from your tonal center and which ones pull back toward the center, you become a master musical weaver or storyteller!
