🎼 New Video: Grade 6 Harmony Made Simple — How to Harmonise a Melody Step-by-Step
If you’ve ever looked at a Grade 6 harmonisation question and thought, “Where do I even start?”, this new walkthrough is for you.
In this calm, practical video, I take you through a real exam-style question from blank page to finished answer — showing how to think logically and musically at every step.
🎹 What you’ll learn:
• How to find the key and map your cadences before adding any chords
• The role of predominant chords (ii°, IV, I⁶⁴) in shaping good harmonic flow
• How to use inversions to create smooth bass lines and avoid parallel fifths
• A final checklist for clean, confident answers
This is especially useful for those working towards Grade 5–7 theory exams, but it’s just as valuable if you want to hear harmony more clearly when you play.
💬 Once you’ve watched, try harmonising a short melody of your own and post it in the Theory Made Simple section — I’d love to give you some feedback!
