Hello, my theoretical friends,
I thought I would share a website with you that recaps what we talked about in class Friday with regard to constructing major scales. This should tie in with the first two chapters of Hooktheory, particularly in how scale degrees relate to the chords contained within a particular key.
Musictheory.net provides a great deal of free, "traditional" theory-based content. Although it is often presented in traditional music notation, you will likely see connections to our non-notation-based approach. This weekend, it will be worthwhile to step through THIS CHAPTER which serves to recap some of Friday's class. Use the arrows in the bottom right corner of this site to navigate through the content.
And remember to spend more time diving deeply into the TheoryTabs at Hooktheory. Your assignment is to search on music you enjoy in order to find three repeating/looping chord progressions that are used. On your blog, please post those songs, complete with links to audio/video, and an explanation of the chord progression to which you feel connected. You may also wish to link to the Theorytab page for that song. I will then extract audio from some of the songs you post to use in conjunction with the 'Uncharted' slices for use in creating your first class composition using the audio and music theory you have learned from within these songs.
I look forward to your work! Have a GREAT weekend!
