  1. 12C Music Lessons 3 and 5

  2. Tasks for this lesson • Ask questions and make sure you fully understand how to complete the tasks • Don’t leave until you are certain that you are able to work independently on the given tasks!

  3. Adding chords to a melody • Check to see what key you are in • Write out the scale • Add triads to each of the scale notes • Put a cross through chord iii and chord vii • If you need to, write the notes names below the written notes

  4. Calculate your options… • Look at the first note of the melody • Find out what triads contain that note • Choose the triad you thing will fit best • Chord I, IV & V are major chords • Chords ii & vi are minor chords

  5. Always start with chord I • Use chord V if possible around the half way point (imperfect cadence) • Use chord I, preceded by chord V or IV at the end (if you are working on a complete melody of course!) • Try to avoid using chord I and chord ii consecutively

  6. Four-Part Harmony • We are now going to complete some four-part harmony exercises • This will follow the same process as before, but now you need to double one of the notes • Always double the root note of the chord, or the 5th of the chord. Do not double the third

  7. The rules so far… • Choose a triad in which the melody note appears • Start with chord I, end on chord I • Try to have an imperfect cadence near the middle and a plagal (IV-I) or perfect (V-I) cadence at the end • Double either the 1st or 5th note of the triad to complete the chord • The melody must always be the highest part and the notes from the chord must go below the melody • Write two notes on each line of music • Avoid using chord ii after chord I if possible • Keep all of the chords in root position at the moment • Do not use chord iii or chord vii

  8. Melodies to harmonise and resources you need... • Log on to a computer and visit the web page: • www.schoolmusicblog.wordpress.com • You will find this powerpoint, some manuscript paper and some melodies to harmonise • Print the file you require, use the powerpoint for assistance and complete the harmonisations • Please leave completed work, with your name on it in M2 at the end of the lesson
