Peter Ware on Advance Harmony 5

Grace - Harmony in music - fine relationship ... to compose!! Great Teachers inspire!

There is such delicate relationship in how all the tiny components work together! Peter Ware well integrated music theory into every day's life as he teaches! (Peter is a great teacher who is about the age of a grand father, who is very gentle and patient!)

He trains students to become observant to the details
to precisely spell the chords correctly, and relate dynamically to the music passage as we compose......

"To compose ... not to decompose, Regine" Peter said as he giggled watching me erasing my writing which were all wrong.
"To learn the appropriateness in different music passages, just like we've to learn about cultural differences ... and appropriateness in different context"

He taught us how to find the key in the music passage...
to be certain of where we are (knowing the key and cadences before we can modulate to somewhere else) - it makes no sense to step into the unknown if we don't know where we are
learning the relationship between different chords and chords functions in a music passage....
learning how to modulate from the old key to a new key as smoothly as possible....

Peter, these are deep lessons … my extended long journey of music learning is inseparable to my personal growth & life stories!

"Harmony is basically simple!!" said Peter.

Yeah, if we understand the underlying relationship and are observant enough to the details ...

it's neat to learn!!

...Harmony & Keys (to the open door)...

Something simple and hard...

I’m still looking forward to pass my exam…if I can!!! Ahhh…

MUS

In music, there's such precision, framework, harmonic relationship, ease & aesthetic in sound that mean so much to me.


German augmented 6th chord (old key) enharmonic to Dominant 7th chord of a new key ... How cool!!!
