What is the best way to answer chord change questions in standard grade music?

Answer 1

is this what you are asking?

in Music Theory in any given key, take the 1st key for example. C

write down c to c

C D E F G A B C ................then number them, music is math.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8/1

145 are major .............. 236 are minor........ 7 is diminished or m7flat5 or 5over7

so you have C Dm Em F G Am,,, b the leading tone in contemporary music is 5over7 = G/B,,,

most songs are 145 progressions, C,F,G, (any order)

the minor key to any major key is number 6,,, thus Am

start on 1=C your in a major key

start on 6=Am your in the minor key they both use the same chords

major is more upbeat and lively where minor is more melodic, bluesy, moody.

did this answer your question? if not, please explain exactly what your asking

and i will be more than happy to help you. thank you.
