Now this Music Video series is something special. It was brought to my attention by the twittering of Katie Wardrobe @ Midnight Music and James Humberstone @ Composer Home.
As you can see in the following videos, animations are set to the music of Mozart, but with emotive caricatures depicting chord changes. The effect is simple, stunning and educational.
How does one demonstrate chord changes through a body of work using images? Well the suggestion was to use Keynote and Garageband plus the piece of your choice to create a running timeline of How Harmony Works!
See the original idea below & maybe you could use this in your classroom?
If you come across any other videos demonstrating the same concept please let me know.
To finish I knew of one other video out there that discussed Should Joe Satriani Sue Cold Play Over Viva la Vida? through chord progressions.
This video was able to show comparisons between the two works by talking about the chords being used. The only drawback is that I am a visual learner and just telling me the chords won’t make it ‘sink in.’ So what did the video do? Watch for yourself:
