Harmony text books often advise us to avoid using this particular chord progression. Why is that? This music composition lesson explains how this chord progression can create difficulties in the part writing with consecutive / parallel fifths and octaves and also explains why the progression is best avoided at cadence points. The video goes on to demonstrate how to use the progression more successfully and explores why style, mood and musical context make an impact on the choice to use this progression or not. ⬇️Download the files https://drive.google.com/file/d/17Hkm3v2E41bPK_0XATpyCQP1MMclfpo7/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 why not use a V-II chord progression 0:26 - Building the basic chords 4:28 - An example of a V-II chord progression 5:56 - Why is it best avoided? 8:48 - Possible solutions 12:22 - Strong and weak chords at cadences 13:33 - Conclusion 🎓 Learn Music Online with Music Matters Learn music theory, aural tests, composition, sight reading, orchestration and more!
