Part 1 in a new series on how to harmonize a melody. In this lesson we’ll start at the very basics, with diatonic major triads in root position.

When trying to write a video about harmonizing melodies I kept thinking “Well before this I should probably explain that other thing…” and then “well before THAT I should explain that…” until I realized I should probably just go WAY back and start real basic.

So if you’re an advanced student don’t worry, we’ll get to more interesting things one step at a time. But for the beginners, or if your music theory is a bit rusty, this should be a good place to start.

And if it’s STILL not basic enough please don’t hesitate to tell me!
