Caribbean Tune uses primary chords and one secondary (applied) dominant: V7/ii. You will also hear a ii – V7 – I cadence. Listen carefully to determine when these chords are heard in the audio track. Then, create your own arrangement based on what you hear.
Instructions:
- Listen to the "Real" track and identify the chord changes.
- Be sure to locate the V7/ii – ii and ii – V7 – I cadences.
-
Write the chord changes on the "Rhythm Worksheet" where they occur in each measure.
-
Use the “Melody” track to check your choices by playing the root note of each chord along with the track. Do they fit the melody?
- Choose a voicing style and write your harmonization on the "Melody Worksheet."
- Play your harmonization hands together.
