COURSE DETAILS
Valerio Silvestro 's"Holy Harmony 1 - REMASTERED" course is a deep dive into the world ofmusical harmony, designed for musicians of all levels who wish to explore the foundations and advanced techniques of harmonization.
Through 15 detailed video lectures for more than 4 hours in total and a full-bodied 170-page accompanying textbook, the course covers a wide range of topics, starting with the basics of notes on the piano, the construction and recognition of major and minor scales, and ending with the understanding and use of intervals, triads, quadriads and chord extensions.
Valerio Silvestro guides students through the process of building and linking chords, showing how to use upper extensions to create richer and more complex sounds.
The course also introduces advanced concepts such as modal interchange, temporary dominants and fifth-degree substitutes (SubV), giving students the tools to enrich their harmonic progressions and radically transform any piece of music.
The last module of the course focuses on thepractical application of the knowledge gained, with concrete examples of reharmonization showing how a simple song can be transformed into a sophisticated composition full of new sounds.
"Santa Armonia 1" is not just a theoretical course, but a true path of artistic growth, pushing students to develop their creativity and express their musical potential to the fullest.
START NOW#01 Introduction to harmony and first steps on the piano
The importance of practice to quickly recognize notes on the piano
#02 Construction of scales with sharps
Practical exercises and tips for developing a cleaner, more professional sound, with a focus on right hand technique.
#03 Construction of scales with bemolves
After mastering the scales with sharps, it is time to learn those with flats
#04 Hints about other scales and intervals.
Intervals, through major scales, are our "meter" between notes
#05 The Triads
Triads, three-note chords, are fundamental in music. Learning the major triads is essential for later modifying them and creating more of them
#06 The Quadriads
Introduction to quadriads, four-note chords, with focus on variations such as dominant seventh, minor seventh, semi-diminished and diminished seventh
#07 The Extensions
Extensions, like spices in cooking, enrich the chords, creating a wider and more complex sound range
#08 Alterations of extensions
Introduction to alterations of extensions in chords, particularly for the dominant seventh chord, further enriching our palette of "harmonic colors"
#09 Positions from the 3rd and 7th and 2-5-1 neutrals.
Insight into how to build and connect chords using upper extensions to create richer and more complex sounds
#10 The 4 colors of 2-5-1
Introduction to advanced use of harmonic colors in 2-5-1, enriching chords with extensions and alterations to create complex sounds typical of jazz and beyond
#11 The 6 Points of Harmony
Introduction to harmonic analysis, which translates harmonic progressions into a series of numbers and functions, and explanation of the 6 basic harmonic mechanisms
#12 Advanced use of "harmonic colors"
Explanation of temporary dominants, seventh chords built on the fifth degree of each scale degree, which enrich the harmonic progression without leading to modulation
#13 Replacement of the Triton
Fifth-degree substitutes (SubV), which are dominant seventh chords built one semitone above the target chord
#14 Modal Interchange
Modal interchange, or the use of minor key elements within a major to enrich harmony. Introduction to nonfunctional dominants, dominant chords that do not resolve toward the 1st degree but add color and harmonic enjoyment, typical of the blues
#15 Let's practice what you learned
Valerio Silvestro concludes the course with an encouraging reflection on the practical application of the harmonic knowledge acquired, demonstrating how harmonic analysis and reharmonization can radically transform a piece of music
