CLASSROOM
Watch How Harmony Works (47 minutes)
Tonic
LAB
Watch the tutorial and write some chords in HookPad
This activity was good because I finished my song on sound trap and I added some new sounds to make it sound not better but good.
OUTSIDE / JOURNAL / IDEAS
Go for a walk and think about the Tonic (1 chord) and the Dominant (5 chord) and how they create push and pull, tension and release in composition.
How tonic, dominant and the other chords is that when you put them in the song is that Ex : the seven nation army in the beginning of the song the bass is pushing and so is the guitar and the other instruments in the song. when we talk about the domination in songs like the seven nation army he got louder with the music but also he got a little rift with his voice so that his voice could match with the beat and the music of the song.
- Tonic (1 and 8 chords)
- Root note creates a feeling of resolution and stability
- Supertonic, Mediant, Submediant (2, 3, 6 chords)
- Moderate tension, useful for transitions
- Dominant, Subdominant, Leading Tone (4, 5, 7 chords)
- Create lots of tension to get to the tonic

STUDIO
Watch this informative video by Jake Lizzio. Experiment with notes on your guitar and try playing along with him. If you cannot do this play just the C note or chord every time he plays it. DELETE ALL OF MR. LE DUC’s INSTRUCTIONS DETAILED ABOVE AFTER COMPLETING THEM
CONTROL ROOM
Tune your guitar, bass or keyboard. Try recording two tracks of guitar, bass, or keyboard. One with the single notes like Jake Lizzio showed you above and a second with the lower C bass notes to make a simple progression. Remember two notes playing at the same time is harmony. Keep it simple. Refer to your Quizlet Guitar Strings / Notes Flashcards if you need help remembering the guitar notes on the first three frets. Set a timer. Stop playing before you feel like Chewbacca below.
What I thought about it is that i did try to learn some notes but then I started to feel like the picture above so I put the bass guitar back and took deep breaths.
