What does it take to create a chord progression?

 

In this video lesson from my full course, the Fundamentals of Musical Composition, you learn:

  • A quick overview of functional harmony (covered in depth in the free course).
  • Concepts of how tonal harmony works
  • How to actually write a progression using my harmony chart (The chart is below the video, to download, right click and choose save image as.)

If some of this doesn’t make sense to you, or it’s moving a little too fast, then you need to check out the Vocabulary of Composition.
