๐ฌ Lesson Description
After we understand the importance of chord tones, the next step is to understand how we can use non-chord tones.
In this lesson, I walk through the official terms for non-chord tones in classical music theory analysis.
In classical composition classes, non-chord tones are referred to with these specific names.
I give examples of a few well known songs, along with sheet music for us to see which melody notes are non-chord tones.
I hope you enjoy this lesson about non-chord tones and find it beneficial.
