This music composition lesson takes a simple passage and explains how you can spot obvious places in which to add non-chord tones. The video explains neighbour tones (auxiliary notes) and passing tones (passing notes) then goes on to demonstrate the obvious places to embrace them in a plain piece of harmony in order to produce a more engaging outcome. Multiple simultaneous non-chord tones are demonstrated and the use of rhythm to add character is also covered. This is a useful video for composers and for all wanting to raise their ability with writing harmony.
