[NEW VIDEO] Arranging Chords using Voice Leading

Added 2022-02-11 15:52:52 +0000 UTC

HAPPY FRIDAY YALL! This is a lesson help you start arranging chords instead of just playing them. The video will be viewable only to Patreon members for now. On Sunday I will release it to the public. If you notice any mistakes or typos in the video please let me know!

Also check the video description, theres some important information in there regarding this very complex topic. I'll openly state - I am NOT qualified to teach this stuff at a high level. You will not see me make a counterpoint lesson, at least within the next 5 years. I've tried learning on my own many times but ultimately got bored with the rigidity of the topic. That said, I do believe that my distilled approach to harmony writing will be very helpful to modern musicians- folks who aren't necessarily trying to write for a chamber choir or string quartet, but instead are writing with synths on a DAW or vocal harmonies with other band members. If you combine this lesson with some of my previous ones, you'll have all the tricks I used to create the 4 part arrangement I made for this video: https://youtu.be/EC_Fvs3TEj4

This Superbowl Sunday morning at 11AM CST I'll be doing another livestream to finish the Q+A from last week. If I didn't get to your answer then, I will be covering it then. I'll also be doing some live transcription as well using MuseScore and will probably have time to answer some questions in the livechat.

See you then!
