Music Harmony Lessons - Using Too Many Non-Chord Tones - Music Composition

This music composition lesson explores the embellishment of music with non-chord tones/ inessential notes, including a reminder of what are the most common inessential notes. We then consider the implication of using too many non-chord tones when they start to clutter the melodic focus or harmonic activity. We consider the implications of tempo and other factors. An example of over use of non-chord tones is unpacked then a less congested alternative is examined. This video will help those wondering how often to use inessential notes in a piece of music. ⬇️Download the files https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tDIwwsUfP7JepZl9P956_OTutOPeR02i/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 using too many non-chord tones 0:43 - Examples of non-chord tones 2:59 - Potential danger of using too many 4:12 - Tempo matters 4:58 - Where is the original melody 9:46 - An example of too many non-chord tones! 16:42 - Writing a better solution 20:24 - Conclusion 🎓 Learn Music Online with Music Matters Learn music theory, aural tests, composition, sight reading, orchestration and more!
