Changing platforms
Good morning! Unfortunately, I'm going to be changing platforms, so this group will be deleted. I discovered that this is not the right place for what I want to do. Thank you for joining this and I hope to see you on other projects! You can always see what's going on at my website: annadair.com or on my Facebook profile. Thanks, again!

Here's a little guide I made for triads. Any questions?

Here's a question from the people: Why 6/8 when 3/4 works. “Silent Night”
My take: 6/8 works because the motive fits perfectly in one measure with a strong and weak compound beat. Think about the implied metric emphasis. 3/4 would place too much emphasis on "night". 6/8 is much smoother. Why is "O, Holy Night" in 12/8? 3/4 would be simpler to read for young musicians, but 6/8 is not that much of a stretch to teach from this, especially since the melody is familiar. The graphic connections would be very clear. I'm interested in hearing your opinions!

@Eli Adair There are many arrangements of common songs that do this sort of metric refit. The top songs that come to mind are Happy Birthday, Star Spangled Banner, and Amazing Grace. Can you think of any others?
