The famous jazz musician Charles Mingus (featured in the thumbnail) once said that "in jazz, there are no wrong notes, only wrong resolutions." He was jokingly referring to the fact that you can play some crazy notes which are out-of-scale, as long as you resolve to something consonant within-scale. In today's lesson we explore an extension of this idea to harmony: if we use some repeating or "good sounding" elements in a composition then we can incorporate some weirder sounding elements into it while remaining "consonant", or at least palatable to the listener. I will present seven different examples of this which will help drive this idea home.
