School of Rock – Day 4 – Harmony Basics

SUMMARY

we did kahoot and normal stuff idk what im supposed to summarize i just played guitar, watched a few of the videos and took some notes then made a notepad full of parts/prices i need for rebuilding my engine with a turbo

PRACTICE ROOM

the way i started playing it

the way the fretboard just appeared in my hand

CLASSROOM

Watch How Harmony Works (47 minutes)

dissonance makes music more dynamic i like it

composition revolves around chords with notes that go throughout instruments

boring pop chords can still make a uniqueish song

music has rules (its pretty much math and gross stuff)

harmonics are like built in chords kinda per note

he did a song that sounded like snowbird by anne murrey and it was alright

LAB

Watch the tutorial and write some chords in HookPad

i feel bad for him, his personality is just like the demo songs he makes. word pad is like the non right brained persons key to making the most generic annoying music ive ever heard in my 18 years on this rock and it makes me want to rip my head off

idk why im so aggravated by this guy he seems like a nice dude

OUTSIDE / JOURNAL / IDEAS

Go for a walk and think about the Tonic (1 chord) and the Dominant (5 chord) and how they create push and pull, tension and release in composition.

Write a short reflection here about what you thought. DELETE ALL OF MR. LE DUC’s INSTRUCTIONS DETAILED ABOVE AFTER COMPLETING THEM

  • Tonic (1 and 8 chords)
    • Root note creates a feeling of resolution and stability 
  • Supertonic, Mediant, Submediant (2, 3, 6 chords)
    • Moderate tension, useful for transitions 
  • Dominant, Subdominant, Leading Tone (4, 5, 7 chords)
    • Create lots of tension to get to the tonic
