Begin with basic triads, progress through 10 levels, and explore minor chords, secondary dominance, diminished chords, and tritone chords to harmonize a cradle song.
Master the right hand melody tone as step 1 in the major tradition, exploring initial concepts of chord progression for the cradle song.
Learn a basic chord progression for a cradle song by using only left-hand basic chords, focusing on simple harmony within music theory practice.
Step 3 invites you to listen to the sounds of the chord progression in the cradle song music theory course.

Step 12 explains how chords move, helping the mind engage with chord progression concepts within the cradle song context.
Follow the circle to learn a two-chord progression by adding Dm7 before G7, shaping smooth harmonic movement for a cradle song.
Follow the circle and add am7 before dm7 in step 14 to shape a cradle song chord progression.
Follow the circle of fifths progression and learn to add Em7 before Am7 to hear how chord substitution enhances the music.
Combine level 3 and level 4 minor chord substitutions to enrich the cradle song chord progression, building musical variety within this 10-level music theory series.
Learn variation in step 17 by examining how to get these two together and what to do when you don't have it.
Add II7–D7 secondary dominant to the chord progression to enrich harmonic movement. Count the measures as you write to integrate the approach smoothly.
Explore step 19 by adding the VI7 – A7 secondary dominant, a key move in chord progressions and music theory.
Step 20 teaches how to add the I7 to C7 as a secondary dominant, enriching the chord progression in music theory.
Explore how chord movement operates within chord progressions in music theory, with applications to the cradle song.
Explore moving from G7 to a jazzy G7b9 cocktail sound in step 22 of the chord progression, balancing left-hand and right-hand parts.
Apply step 23 by moving from a C7 to a jazzy C7b9 to create a cocktail-style chord sound. Capture the late-night mood and finish of the progression.
Explore step 24: from d7 to a jazzy d7b9 cocktail sound within the 2 chord progression module of music theory.
Advance through step 25 from a7 to jazzy a7b9 cocktail sound to craft late-night chord progressions.
Explore step 26 by applying C#dim7 substitution to a two-chord progression, revealing how dim7 substitutions enrich harmony in cradle song context.
Step 27 introduces Eb dim7 substitution within the two-chord progression framework. Learners explore how diminished seventh substitutions influence chord choices.
Step 28 teaches inserting a C#dim7 chord to enrich chord progressions in music theory, guiding learners through diminished harmony within the cradle song context.
Explore step 29 of the chord progression course, explaining how diminished chords are moved within music theory.
Master step 30 of chord progression by adding augmented chords, specifically G+, D+, and A+, to expand harmony in this music theory course.
See how augmented chords resolve to the next chord, revealing practical voice-leading and harmonic motion in chord progressions.
Master step 32 in the second chord progression module, analyzing G7sus and G7 chords within music theory for the cradle song.
Advance chord progression skills by practicing step 33: insert C7sus and C7, within the music theory 10 levels Cradle Song course.
Insert A7sus and A7 in a chord progression and explore the invention of the minor.
step 35 of the cradle song chord progression course demonstrates how to insert D7sus and D7 chords. apply this technique to develop smooth harmonic movement in a simple two-chord progression.
