Week 10 -Blog

Date 27^th May

During our class, we discussed “minor key in areas of harmony”1. We looked at diatonic chords which included 7^th as well. We then reviewed chord progressions in minor as we have already mention chord progressions in major keys. To end the class we looked at secondary dominants chords and how they are incorporated in famous songs such as “Stand by me” by Oasis 2.

In our discussion topic today we had to write either a “Metaphor, Simile or a Symbolism” 3. An example I came up with is “your like an avocado your soft but your heart is a stone” this is a simile.
