Music Theory Level 2: Part Nine

Welcome to Music Theory Level 2: Part Nine

New Progressions

In this course you will explore the key changes, tonicizations, and chord sequences. This course forms part of the complete Music Theory Fundamentals Guide.

This is a class designed for the average person who is ready to take their music career (or music interest) and turn it into a business. Whether you are an active musician, an aspiring musician, or an aspiring music manager or agent - this class is perfect for you.

For years I've been teaching Music Theory in the college classroom. My approach to music theory is to minimize the memorization. Most of these concepts you can learn by just understanding why chords behave in certain ways. Once you understand those concepts, you can find any scale, key, or chord that exists. Even invent your own. If you've tried to learn music theory before, or if you are just starting out - this series of courses is the perfect fit.

In Part 9: New Progressions we will cover:

• Tools of Music Theory
• Chord Progression Sequences
• Descending Fifth Progressions
• Descending Sequences in Minor
• Other Fifth Related Sequences
• Making a Quick Key Change
• Part-Writing with Descending Fifth Sequences
• Descending Third Sequences
• Descending Thirds in Minor
• Ascending Third Progressions
• Progressions by Second
• 4-Voiced Progressions by Second
• Analysis: Canon in D
• Analysis: Bach, Cello Suite No. 1
• Finding Chords in Monophonic Music
• Finding Chord Function in Bach
• Secondary Dominant
• Toniciziation
• Key Modulation
• Changing Keys

You will not have another opportunity to learn Music Theory in a more comprehensive way than this. All the tools you need to successfully learn Music Theory are included in this course and the entire course is based on real-life experiences - not just academic theory.

• Welcome & Overview
• Welcome to the class! A few things to get out of the way before we dive in.
• Progressions By Fifths
• In this section we are going to start looking for larger patterns of chords, instead of individual chords.
• Progressions By Third
• Next, lets look at the same concept, but using thirds instead of fifths.
• Progressions By Seconds
• Last, let's look at the scenario of progressions moving by a second.
• Changing Keys
• Here we go - your biggest analysis yet. In it, we are going to learn several new concepts include modulations, tonicizations, and key changes.
