2.28Practical mini-project
Take a very simple melody you know by ear.
Do this in C major:
- Find the melody.
- Identify important notes by scale degree.
- Try accompanying with only: I, IV, V
- If something doesn't fit well, add: vi
- Record what you chose.
Then transpose the entire thing to G.
Don't write every note down first.
Use degrees.
That's the skill we're building.
