In previous Song Science courses you learned how to create chord progressions. We worked on basic chord progressions and even more advanced progressions utilizing techniques from secondary dominants to diminished passing chords.

In this course you'll learn how to build the different sections of a song and learn how sections work together.

At the end of this course you'll understand how to:

  • Create instability and stability in your songs by tweaking the number of measures
  • Contrast the different sections to make the Chorus pop
  • Control harmonic rhythm to create contrast
  • Build the different song forms from AAA to AABA
  • Use repetitive chord progressions and through-composing to build sections

Real examples will be used to illustrate all the different concepts in the course.
