INTRODUCTION

This reference is used whenever you want to harmonize directly on the note that is in the melody. This will
result in some very beautiful harmonizations because some of them will result in harmonization’s that are
out of scale. That means you might be playing chords that are not in the current key. For example, if you
are in the key of C, which we know has no black keys, you might be told to harmonize one of the notes in
the C scale with an Eb Chord!!

You will find that these transitions are most beautiful.

If you have purchased this book alone, it does not contain the main
instructional material for the Harmony Course.

The main volume for instruction is the volume named


“The Handbook of Harmony,” and is available from Creative Music

That volume contains the main instructional material for the bulk of this
course.

The Harmony System – Tritones

1 The Chord Notation


Each chord in the Harmony System has the following information areas:

A) The name of the chord is indicated at the top of every page. In this example, the
chord is a ‘minor Add 6, 9.’ Notice that we do not indicate which kind of ‘minor
Add 6, 9,’ i.e., an A minor Add 6, 9 or a Bb minor Add 6, 9. This is because the
information that follows, is going to tell you how to construct the ‘minor Add 6, 9’
in all 12 keys.
B) The Left Hand bass note indicated, tells you that for this example, the note that you
should play as the bass note in your left hand and or in the bass pedal with your foot.
In this example, you should play an E as the bass with your left hand and or foot.
This bass note, also qualifies the full name of the chord for the example given.
Therefore, the full name of the chord in the picture is an ‘E minor Add 6, 9.’ The
picture visually indicates which notes to play to construct an ‘E minor Add 6, 9.’

The bass note is ALWAYS the root of the chord, and the bass note tells you what
scale you need to be in, to create the chord using the Adventures in Harmony Play
by Number System. Remember, the note that names the scale is always numbered
number 1. Therefore the bass is always number one. So, in this example to create
this ‘E’ chord, we use the ‘E’ scale, and ‘E’ is note number 1 in the ‘E’ scale.

C) The table that follows indicates which notes numbers in the scale are needed to
create the chord. Use this table to create the chord in ANY key. Therefore, to create
the ‘E minor Add 6, 9,’ that means ‘E’ is the bass note. Remember the bass note is
always note number 1, and it tells us which scale we are in. The table indicates ‘Left
Hand,’ note number 1, note number 1 in the ‘E’ scale is ‘E.’ The table indicates
‘Right Hand,’ note numbers ( -3, 6, 9 and 12.) Those are the note numbers from the

The Harmony System – Tritones

‘E’ scale that you are going to play. The 3 rd of ‘E’ is Ab, so the -3 is ½ step lower at
‘G.’ The 6th of ‘E’ is Db, the 9th of ‘E’ is Gb and the 12th of ‘E’ is ‘B.’

In the table above, the note letters listed in the 2 nd row are obtained by matching the
numbers to the notes for the key of ‘E.’

E Scale
Note E Gb Ab A B Db Eb E Gb Ab A B Db Eb E
Number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

Numbering for key of E

Note: The chord chart indicates the play a (-3), but scale tables do not show the
accidentals, i.e. (b,#,-). If you look above at 3 in the E scale, you see an (Ab), you
just have to lower it ½ step down to a (G) to make it a (-3).

NOTE: All chords pictured in this reference book and course, are for songs written
in the key of Db. Therefore, if you have already written down the roman numbers
for the song, you can immediately play it in (Db) by looking at the pictures to obtain
the proper chord.

If you needed this chord in the key of ‘C’, that means the chord would be a ‘C minor
add 6, 9.’ This also means that ‘C’ would be the bass note that is played in your left
hand and or foot. This also means that C is note number 1. So, to figure out the rest
of the notes in the right hand, you are going to play the note number (-3, 6, 9 and
12.). Those notes would be an (Eb, A, D and G).

C Scale
Note C D E F G A B C D E F G A B C
Number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

Numbering for Key of C

Note: Some of the voicings in this reference may require hand stretches of a tenth. For you piano players
who cannot reach this, you may simply leave off the lower notes of the chord or play the note an octave
higher.

The Harmony System – Tritones

Please feel free to use both hands to construct the chords in this book!
The note indicated in green MUST be played as the bass note with the left hand if on the
piano. If on the organ, the note in green is also the note to be played with the foot pedal.
The tension is a numerical representatation of how much dissonance is in the chord. The
higher the number, the more dissonant the chord. The open represents how open the
chord is with regard to open harmony, The higher the number, the more open the chord
is.

There a table at the bottom of every page that indicates the notes to be played to
construct the chord in any key. Remember the keyboard picture at the top of the page,
is the chord to be played for a song in the key of (Db). If you need the chord for a song in
another key, use the table at the bottom of the page.

1 Harmonizing on the Melody Note (I)


You will use the chords in this section, whenever you need to harmonize on the note that is in
the€ melody and that note is a (I).
For example, if the song is in the key of Db and the melody note is a Db, you would use any one
of the voicings in this section.

1.1 The (V) 13sus(tri.) (2271)

1.1.1 When to use this chord.


When the current melody note of your song is a (I), play a (V) 13sus(tri.) chord.
1. A (I) melody note in the key of (Db) is a (Db).
2. A (V) chord in the key of (Db) is an (Ab).
3. Play Ab 13sus(tri.) ((V) 13sus(tri.))
1.1.2 Creating the 13sus(tri.) chord by using the number system
The numbers in each row or the table below, refer to the note numbers for the scale of the bass
note. This chord can be created in any key by using the numbers in the table below.
Example: To play an Ab 13sus(tri.) chord, we need to use the numbers in the Ab scale.
This following table contains the proper [13sus(tri.)] to be played for a song in any key.

Bass Left and Right Hand Name
