How to create tension and resolution by suspending the tonic and dominant areas in a musical composition

Master college-level Music Theory Class
Compose music in the style of Bach and other Baroque composers
Compose music in the style of many 18th Century Composers
Create more emotional music using suspensions, resolutions, and non-chord tones effectively

This class is Part 8: Harmonic Expansion, and it continues what would be the second semester of a college music theory class (according to the typical American academic system for learning music theory).

Throughout this class, I'll be providing you with many worksheets for you to practice the concepts on. If you get stuck, you can review the videos or post a question, and I'll back to it as fast as possible. Also in this class I have several complete analysis projects that we will complete together - just like in my college classes.

In this class, we will cover:

Tools of Music Theory
The Cadential 6/4
Chord Function
Writing Cadential 6/4 Chords
Neighboring 6/4 Chords
Pedal 6/4 Chords
Writing Neighboring 6/4 Chords
The Arpeggiating 6/4 Chord
Parallelism in Music
New Analysis Notations
The V7 as a Tonic Expansion
Other V7 Expansions
The Double-Neighbor V7 Expansion
Submediant Expansions
...and much, much more!
