The Right Chord

Harmonizing songs by ear

What you'll learn
Be able to recognize chords in a song by ear, with, and even without an instrument
Know how to harmonize - add chords to a melody
Know how to create a melody to fit a chord progression, which opens the way for improvisation on a chord progression
Understand the logic behind chord progressions, and learn to hear it in music
Requirements
This course is mainly for players of harmonic instruments like the piano of guitar. It requires minimum acquaintance with the instrument. Beginners is enough…
Knowledge of construction of chords by chord letters are bonus, but not essential as I teach here everything
Description
You've always wanted to join in with your guitar or keyboard instrument, accompanying other people singing or playing. You always wanted to be able to improvise on harmonies with a group jamming.But you never could.Because you need a book or some other aid to tell you which are the right chords for the song or piece.But you have seen other people (the fortunate ones…) who can do that - effortlessly.They just sit down in front of the piano or take up a guitar, and play along. And it sounds amazing!Even worse for you, you see these guys change key on the spot, and that - even a music book can't do for you.So.How do they do that??Is it something you have to born with?If so, you are apparently from the unlucky guys who will have to settle for being always dependent on music books or sites.But.What if this thing is a thing which could be learned?What if it's only a question of developing your hearing abilities (ear training) and harmonic understanding?Well, actually it is!!In this 10 lectures long course, I propose to do just that.I teach you here in a very clear and concise way the theory behind the art of melody harmonization, so that you can understand how melody and chords come together.But not less important, I dedicate a large part of the course to guide you how to recognize harmonic progressions by ear.So that you can actually really guess, even without playing, what the next chord in the music is.Because only through combining knowledge in the mind, and feeling through the senses, is it possible to master this proficiency.And so you could finally join in, have fun with harmony and chords and perhaps even improvise your own music.Only,It's not as hard as it perhaps sounds…Because over the years (about thirty of them…), I've developed methods of teaching, which can make it really easy and comprehensible. And I have found that what usually blocks the way to achieve this knowledge is two thing:The belief that you have to have it in your genes (=can't learn it if you weren't born with it), and - Bad teaching methods.In The Right Chord you will see that you don't have to born with it - provided that you practice and perform all the assignments.And enjoy teaching methods that are not only useful, but also - fun and fulfilling!So why waste time?Fulfil your dreams!Try TRC now, and transform your playing!Waiting for you inside!Eran
