LESSON 8 MODULATION Ø Modulation is the change of key that takes place in a melody that is not permanent. It occurs when accidental adds to the same type of notes, and the phrase ends with the cadence of the new key. This image shows the key before modulation, it also shows the pivot chord moving into the modulation of the new key, and it gives an example of direct modulation. https://i.stack.imgur.com/bpwQT.png Ø The dominant key is most frequently used to modulate in major-key. In minor keys, this can only happen when the 7th scale degree is not raised by a semitone and also not acting as a dominant. Ø Some of the other keys used when modulating are those having either a sharp or flat or none, like the relative minor. These are the 4 th , 5 th , and 6 th scale-degree in major-key and also used as pivo chord. In this melody, using a melodic line with figure base and chord symbols, you would notice the modulation as it begins with a pivot modulation by a common
ENTRY 9 THE 7th CHORDS Part 1 * The 7th chord is made-up of an additional note above the triad, the notes arranged with an interval of a third between them. The distance between each third determines the chord quality. There are five types of 7th chord qualities that I will explain along with how they are arranged. * Beginning with the ' major minor 7th', this is also the dominant 7th chord, it is identified as Mm7 or by using the 'letter name' of the root note before the number 7, e.g. C7. From the root note, this chord has a major triad and a minor 7th. This chord is diatonic of the 5th degree in major-scales and also the 5th degree in minor-scales . * The 'major, major 7th' chord is identified as Maj7 or by using the 'letter name' of the root note before with M7. This chord has a major triad and a major 7th from the root. This chord is diatonic of the 1st and 4th degree in major-scales and the 3rd and 6th degree in minor-scales . * The
