Workshop Descriptions

Harmony and Chord Substitution

This workshop starts where Creating Memorable Melodies leaves off. (Previous participation in Paul Reisler’s melody workshop is not required.)

We’ll learn how to set chords to your melody, how to shade the emotion of the moment with a proper choice of chords, chord types and substitutions, using harmony to control forward motion, creating contrast in your song structure, and much more. In addition, we’ll take one song and harmonize it in 8 different ways using different types of chord substitutions. Again, this is a participatory workshop that will give you specific techniques and inspiration to use in your music.
