Welcome to Music Theory Level 2: Part Twelve
Sequences and Secondary Dominants
In this course you will explore melodic, harmonic, diatonic and chromatic sequences, secondary dominants, leading tones and embellished and irregular resolutions. Along the way, you will analyse Bach and Beethoven’s music. 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 12: Sequences and Secondary Dominants we will cover:
- Analyzing Bach
- Identifying Sequences
- Melodic Sequences
- Harmonic Sequences
- Diatonic and Chromatic Sequences
- The Descending Fifth Sequence
- Alternating Inversions in Sequences
- Ascending Fifth Sequences
- Descending Third Sequences
- Secondary Dominants
- Chromatic Chords
- Tonicization and Modulation
- Secondary Leading Tone Chords
- Leading Tones To Five
- Tonicizing Other Scale Degrees
- Leading Tone of Anything
- Analyzing Beethoven
- Resolving Secondary Dominants
- Embellished Resolutions
- Irregular Resolutions
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.
