We’ll look at how to think both vertically and linearly, use intervals like thirds for strong consonance, spot implied harmony from just two voices, and avoid common pitfalls such as parallel motion or unsupported notes—perfect for developing clearer, more confident harmonic writing. ⬇️Download the files https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iahMn6Kpx19Vi5KlK-kRID9llI0X2yWo/view?usp=sharing 🔴 Subscribe for more videos just like this: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8yI8P7Zi3yYTsypera-IQg?sub_confirmation=1 🎵 Become a Music Matters Maestro: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8yI8P7Zi3yYTsypera-IQg/join 👕 Merch store: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8yI8P7Zi3yYTsypera-IQg/store 🕘 Timestamps 0:00 - Introduction to writing in two parts 0:50 - Thinking harmonically 4:46 - Using thirds 7:49 - Using sixths 9:13 - Combination writing 12:45 - Contrary motion 14:43 - Rhythmic independence 16:52 - Conclusion 🎓 Advanced Harmony Course Achieve expert-level mastery in tonal and chromatic harmony.
