@alvodin6197, thank you for watching!

Awesome, thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you, @lawrencetaylor4101!

@Chaton, that you for watching!

That is great to hear!

You're welcome!

Glad I could help!

@Super_Lowcrian, those are great and thoughtful questions! Check out this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gpqTptmk0N22dJ8.html It should clear up an confusion, but let me know if you have any other questions.

@@AnthonyFesmire Thank you! That did help. I was thinking that E being the shared tonic made the exchange work, but didn’t want to make my question any wordier. I appreciate how concise your videos are without sacrificing the details needed for us to run with the concepts being discussed. Signed, a happy subscriber!

Thank you, @Super_Lowcrian!

Thank you for checking it out!

@Don Lessnau, thank you! The I , IV, and V in major, and i, iv, and V in minor, are generally considered the primary triads in a key, so IV (iv) provides for strong harmonic motion within a key (especially when used in combination with I [i] and V). In addition, iv incorporates the b6 of the minor key. The b6 is considered the characteristic note in minor. I hope that makes sense!

@@AnthonyFesmire Thanks a lot.

Also, some people use the term "chromatic modulation" for changing the key center by one triad instatly.

Thank you for your comments and questions! Keep in mind that this video is part of a Music Theory III course taught in a hybrid formant (half online, half face-to-face), so there are two+ semesters of material that comes before this lesson, and there are additional activities related to this video done in the face-to-face sessions. The iv chord is mentioned before i because chords that use the b6 of the scale are more often used for this type of modulation. However, i is a good choice as well. From your description of a key change that moves chromatically, I believe that you are referring to a direct modulation. In this type of modulation, there is no pivot chord. The piece just modulates directly from one key to another. This is typically done at the end of a phrase.

or do we only borrow from parrel keys?

Thank you for checking out the video! This type of modulation uses borrowed chords (chords from the parallel major or minor). The most typical chords to borrow when in a major key are iv, bVI, and i.

@@AnthonyFesmire ty!

Thank you!

Tyler Anaya lol

I have Beethoven hair though

You don't modulate

That's correct! I=Db, ii=Ebm, iii=Fm, IV=Gb, V=Ab, vi=Bbm, and viio=Co.

@phase_ish, I do not have a course that I sell independently. Most of the videos that I share are from online and hybrid courses that I teach at College of the Desert. I make them public on KZfaq for others who may be interested in checking them out.

@@AnthonyFesmire is it on a website, I have gotten so many books and ytber courses and they aren't well done tbh it's sad.

@phase_ish, they are college music course (mainly from the core music major sequence of Fundamentals of Music and Music Theory I-IV). I teach in the Coachella Valley in California.
