This music composition lesson reveals the secret to smooth, convincing modulations by walking through a specially written 8-bar piece containing four key changes. You’ll learn how to choose sensible related keys, how pivot chords function, and what to do before and after a pivot chord to prepare and confirm a new tonal centre. The video explains how shared harmonies, common chords and well-planned progressions create natural, seamless transitions, and demonstrates each step clearly within the example. By the end, you’ll understand exactly how to apply these principles to your own harmony writing and modulations. ⬇️Download the files https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NXz3epVDYVjb1fvTyLsxPKF3f-aG4UYI/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 the secret to smooth modulations 0:35 - Playing the example piece 1:31 - Where the modulations and the key changes occur 3:02 - Moving to closely related keys 5:22 - Using pivot chords 11:01 - Conclusion 🎓 Learn Music Online with Music Matters Learn music theory, aural tests, composition, sight reading, orchestration and more!
