Mastering Chord Suspensions - Paperback

by Gregory Moody (Author)

This is one of the add-on reference volumes for the "Adventures in Harmony Music Course". The main instruction volume for this series is: The Handbook of Harmony - Gospel - Jazz - R&B - Soul COLOR - ISBN - 1453700951. B&W - ISBN - 1453684093. This volume describes a technique where you can make many beautiful chord changes based on a single melody tone. We refer to the melody tone as the "suspension." For each melody tone you can make endless chord changes while maintaining that single tone as the "suspension." The techniques described in this volume can be applied to any of the voicing reference volumes in this course. The main voicing reference volumes are ISBN: 1453703551 and ISBN: 1453703535. The voicings in this reference are used in the patent pending system and technique created by Creative Music. Creative Music has developed a revolutionary method enabling keyboard musicians to quickly harmonize a line of notes with infinite chord changes. Imagine being able to play a different chord on every melody note! The system is such that no two musicians will come up with the same resulting harmonization. With this course you will be creating harmonies and progressions to go with music of your choice. There are no songs or progressions to memorize in this course. This is because you are going to be creating your own progressions and harmonies to go with the songs that you choose. This is a step-by-step that you can apply to any piece of music Gregory Moody Creative Music's founder is an accomplished musician and software engineer, who comes from a family lineage of musicians, i.e., his world famous cousin NEA jazz master and recording artist, James Moody. Music education has not changed in the last century, and Creative Music is on the forefront of turning that around. We are re-inventing how music has been taught for the last century. Our instructional method goes against the grain of all past music education teaching methodologies.

Author Biography

Gregory Moody Creative Music's founder is an accomplished musician and software engineer, who comes from a family lineage of musicians, i.e., his world famous cousin NEA jazz master; flute, tenor and alto saxophonist and recording artist, James Moody. Music education has not changed in the last century, and Creative Music is on the forefront of turning that around. The "Adventures in Harmony Course" is re-inventing how music has been taught for the last century. Our instructional method goes against the grain of all past music education teaching methodologies. In fact we are proud of this "invention/discovery" and the internals of our system and technique are proprietary and were developed through years of computer analysis and modeling.
