  • Hi guys, this is a lesson about minor melodies and modulation. Modulation is an event that could enhance the power of song or give it a more dynamic atmosphere. I use modulation mostly after a solo or some middle part, and put the last chorus in a higher key (for singing that is).

    If modulation is sudden, without a dominant chord, it is good to practice the modulation well, so that you won't go off key. If you have that chord it will be easier.

    As always think on your breathing.
    Have fun! :)
