Writing Better Harmony - Music Composition

How to write better harmony and chord progressions. This music composition lesson begins with what is often a typical working of a four-part harmony exercise, which doesn’t sound bad but doesn’t sound good. We explore what works and what could work better. By flushing out the technical faults then explaining how to repair them, a better result starts to take shape. Beyond that the video considers how to embellish some notes to improve the flow and expressive qualities of the piece. The transformation is substantial. This video is not only for those who write harmony but who want to improve their technique and end up with a musically satisfying outcome.
