How to use a diminished 7th chord to modulate into a different key. Diminished 7ths are usually used as a means of adding harmonic colour and tension within the prevailing key. They can also be used as a means of modulation, which is what is demonstrated in this music theory lesson. Watch as we clarify the nature of a Diminished 7th chord and explain how it functions within a key. We then go on to suggest how the Diminished 7th can be a most effective means of modulation, especially when one makes enharmonic alterations to notes within the chord. A very useful video for composers and arrangers who wish to extend their harmonic and modulatory base and for performers wanting to understand how this Diminished 7th modulation technique functions in the music they are performing. 🔴 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 modulation using diminished 7ths 2:19 - What is a diminished 7th chord? 4:14 - Diminished 7th modulation 7:52 - How composers made use of diminished 7ths 🎓 Learn Music Online with Music Matters Learn music theory, aural tests, composition, sight reading, orchestration and more!
