An True Adventure in Musical Harmony
US Patent Pending # 61181610
This is an
example of the harmonization process used on a real piece of music. We will use
the first line of the Christmas song “Hark the Herald Angels Sing” in this
example. The following is an example of how this song might be written in its
original plain version.
Playing
the song as it is written above with the simple chords will give you a very
plain and traditional sound with no color and flavor. The Adventures in Harmony
Course will enable you to turn a simple one finger melody into a beautiful
harmonization with color and flavor. It is not even necessary for you to be
able to read notated music to make this song sound colorful with advanced
chords.
If
you have no music, you can probably just pick out the notes on the keyboard if
you know how the song goes, just as can probably pick out the notes for “Mary
had a Little Lamb.”
It
is not necessary for you to have any written music to do this reharmonization
by using our Adventures in Harmony Course.
If
you can pick out the single notes for any song on the piano, that’s all you
need to turn any into something beautiful. The chords in the orginal song are
not even important because the Adventures in Harmony Course is going to give
you the advanced chords to use. The important thing for you to realize in this
course is that you are going to be using your own music to harmonize. You are
not going to be copying some song that we have already harmonized and you just
memorize the chords and song. You pick the song or notes and we just tell you
how to harmonize it so that it sounds good.
The
only thing that’s is important are the note names that make this song.
In this example the notes would be:
C,
F, F, E, E, A, A, G, C, C, C, Bb, A, G, A
By
using just those notes above, The Adventures in Harmony Course will teach you
to turn that simple line of notes into the following chords that will make up
the song and complete the process.
A-7+5,
Bb6 add 9, Eb9 add 6, Db9sus, Eb9 add 6, E-11, A7 add 6, D-9sus, Bb13sus,
E-7+5, Eb13, D-9, E-7b5, E-9sus, Db 6,9b5, Ebdim 6,9, E-9
Don’t
worry if you don’t know these chords and don’t let these chords and their names
scare you. By the time you complete this course, you will be very comfortable
playing and naming these advanced chords. All of the songs that you harmonize by using
the Adventures in Harmony course will be using these advanced chords!
Our
course has nothing but these advanced chords, these are the chord that you
wanna hear, and have been hearing, but didn’t know what they were. We leave
those simple chords alone and step it up a notch and pick things up where other
course leave off.
We
have a book called the “Chord Namng System,” that will teach you to instantly name
any chord you see played on the keyboard, or play any chord named, even if you
have never seen or played the chord before. There is a system that we pioneered
that will teach you to easily play and name chords. Once you learn the system,
you will be able to easily play and name any chord.
The
chords that we came up with to harmonize this song are just one example of a
possible harmonization that you can get by using the Adventures in Harmony
Course. There are infinite possibilities, and no two musiicians will come up
with the same harmonization. In fact, the Adventures in Harmony course will
allow you to come up with a many different harmonizations for this or any song.
You never have to play a song the same way twice!
From
this simple string of notes that are from the song “Hark the Herald Angels
Sing.”
C,
F, F, E, E, A, A, G, C, C, C, Bb, A, G, A
We
have come up with the following chords
A-7+5,
Bb6 add 9, Eb9 add 6, Db9sus, Eb9 add 6, E-11, A7 add 6, D-9sus, Bb13sus,
E-7+5, Eb13, D-9, E-7b5, E-9sus, Db 6,9b5, Ebdim 6,9, E-9.
If
we were to label these chords to match the words in the song and wite it down,
the resulting harmonization would loook like this!
Wow!
That is truly a professional looking harmonization. Look at thoses chords. Just
by looking at this you know its going to sound beautiful. Imagine handing
something like this to your friends. They won’t be able to touch you! You will
be the King of Harmony!!
You
may be asking how long does it take to actually do this by using our patent
pending system? To harmonize those two lines of music with our advanced chords,
should take no more than 10 or 15 minutes!
Here
are the notes for the chords you would be playing after using the Adventures in
Harmony course on our example song “hark the Herald Angels Sing.”
If you look at the melody note for each one of
the chords below, (the melody note is the note on top, or the note furthese to
the right in each chord), you will notice that the melody note for each chord, matches
the single note line for our song (C, F, F, E, E, A, A, G, C, C, C, Bb, A, G, A).
So by simply playing the chords, you are playing the song!!!!!!! See in the
first chord the C is on top, and in the next chord the F is on top, and in the
next chord the F is on top again, and then E which matches our melody (C, F, F,
E . . . ). This amazing system in the Adventures in Harmony course works with
any song! Now you can easily harmonize the songs of your choice with those
advanced cool sounding chords!

Our mission at gospel-chords.com Creative Music LLC., is to focus on quickly getting the musician to the end-result of playing beautiful advanced harmonies, without being burdened by the intricacies and complications of music theory. We want to give the musician a path of least resistance to reach this goal as quickly as possible. We have already done all the dirty work and analysis of chord structures, harmonies, progressions and their interrelationships. We have filtered all that down to a methodology that you can use, to consistently and easily achieve beautiful harmonization in your own music without being bogged down a fishing though the previous 500 years of music theory.
Music education has not changed in the last century, we are on the forefront of turning that around. The "Adventures in Harmony Course" is re-inventing how music has been taught for the last century. Our instructional method goes against the grain of all past music education teaching methodologies. In fact we are proud of this "invention/discovery" and the internals of our system and technique are proprietary and were developed through years of computer analysis and modeling.
Our Adventures in Harmony Course consists of over 900 pages of instruction and 4 hours of DVDs.
The system is currently Patent Pending in the United States Patent Office. Creative Music LLC is not just a music education company. We are a technology company heavily involved in research, providing tools to educate today's musician.
