Adding Drama
Lesson 4
ADDING EXPRESSION:
Loudness, softness
Phrasing
Legato or staccatto
Changing Rhythms
Changing Keys
Changing and adding chords.
When we change or add chords, we
are striving for what I call color.
When we change a chord, the melody
can become a color tone or extension
rather than the boring 1-3-5-7 tones.
