| Class 31 | Friday, April 05 |
In this session we learned about the "step zone" in our progressions, doing a few I-IV-V-I's and I-ii-V-I's to practice. Worksheet #14 was due, #15 in process, and #16 was newly assigned.
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 due today.
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.
Worksheet #16: The Step Zooooone
Worksheet #16 asks you to make a few progressions that involve what I call the "step zone." The technique is covered on pp. 73-74 in our theory textbook.
This is yet another worksheet that has the wrong assignment number on the page. It says Assignment #14, but you and I both know it's really #16.
This worksheet is due Friday, April 12.
