| Class 30 | Tuesday, April 02 |
This was our first day back after Easter. We revieved I-V-I progressions with the "common-tone technique," learned my so-called "next-closest technique," and sang some melodies in minor. It was really an action-packed class.
Worksheet #14 is due on Friday, and we added a new one for next Tuesday.
Worksheet #14: I-V-I with Common-Tone Connections
All right, Assignment #14 is our first serious exercise in making progressions that we could play at the piano. The method of taking a common tone is explained in Chapter 18 of our theory textbook.
This one is not due until Friday, April 5.
Worksheet #15: I-V-I with the "Next-Closest" Connection
In assignment #15 we make more I-V-I progressions, but we'll use my "next-closest" technique where the chords move a little bit more. You can review p. 70 in our theory anthology for more details about that.
This one is due on Tuesday, April 9.
Maybe This Is What Sound Studies Should Be Like
