Music Theory

  Notes taken  in your own words  during readings and lectures (4-5 bullet points) 2-3 helpful images the topic (include citation under each image) 2-3 helpful videos the topic (In each video you include, talk about what takes place in the video and what your readers should look out for) Performance video.  Find a piece of music that has a modulation. Record a short video of yourself performing the piece. Include the sheet music in your blog, with the modulation highlighted.  See example below.

Secondary Dominants   A secondary dominant is an  altered chord having a dominant or leading tone relationship to a chord in the key other than the tonic.  How do you find secondary dominants? Determine the note that would be a  perfect 5th below the root of the chord you are analyzing . If this note would be the root of a diatonic chord, the chord you are analyzing is a secondary dominant.                                           BELOW ARE EXAMPLE OF THE TOPIC MENTIONED ABOVE
