Basic Melody Harmonization

Discovering Simplicity: An Exploration of Basic Techniques in Melody Harmonization

In our foundational collection of talks, we embark on a technical exploration of basic melody harmonization. Here, we dissect the intricate components of melody and harmony, focusing on essential topics such as harmonic structure, diatonic chord functions, and voice leading.

Delve into the structural underpinnings of music as we unravel the principles of chord progressions and harmonic movement. Learn to navigate the terrain of diatonic harmony, understanding the functional roles of each chord within a key signature.

Our discussions extend to the art of voice leading, where we examine techniques for creating smooth and compelling melodic transitions within chord progressions.

Through practical examples and in-depth analysis, we equip composers with the tools to craft harmonically rich and melodically satisfying compositions.
