Harmonic Progressions | Learning and Loving Music Theory Kelvin, You actually caught a mistake on the roman numerals! Thanks, I’ll have to fix that. The first and last chords of the progression are not 7th chords. In the classical tradition, for the sake of stability, the first and last chords of a circle-of-fifths progression are usually triads, not 7th chords. Harmonic Sequences Part 2 In the jazz tradition all chords usually are 7ths, in which case the progression will start and end with 7th chords. Thanks again for your interest and input.
14 Mantras For Transformation Yesterday at a cafe I overheard a sad and astonishing conversation. Two women about the same age were talking nearby me in line. The first said, “Yep, I turn 33 tomorrow. And hey, it’s ALL downhill from here, right? "I mean, I’ll just never be this young or in shape again. Her friend nodded somberly in agreement, her blonde ponytail bobbing. I couldn’t help but surreptitiously scan both of their faces for traces of irony or humor. I mean, they were just SO completely wrong in so many different ways. Because the truth is that our reality is deeply informed by how we see it, and by the limiting thoughts habitually formed in our minds. But believe that you’re barely getting started (I tell myself that every day) and the Divine can bring miracles beyond anything the ego can imagine. So here’s some mantras of Divine intercession on a whole slew of topics. I recommend doing whichever ones you need for at least twenty-one days to help the mind recalibrate. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.

Earthing: When was the last time you hugged a tree? So, I’ve mentioned before my “hippie” ways. I like living a natural life. I believe that God is really, REALLY smart and that He created an amazing world that works so synergistically that far too often our “man-made” ways have messed up with the natural balance of things… You know, like processed foods, over-dosing on pharmaceuticals, and shoes. Did I just say shoes are a problem? Sure did. As a modern dancer I’ve come to love the freedom of moving without restrictive shoes. Earthing. (This is where I put a flower in my hair and start singing “kumbaya” while hugging a tree.) What I’m about to say may sound like a too-hippie-for-most idea, but hear me out. So what is earthing? It’s both a very simple and very complex concept. Back in the “good old days,” people were much more connected to the earth. Consider this: The electric charges of the earth are really important for us humans. We believe that normal inflammation veers out of control because of lost contact with the Earth.
Why the circle of fourths is so important when learning major scales | Hear and Play Music Learning Center Playing your major scales should be a part of your daily practice regimen. However, practicing them in a “circle of fourths” or “circle of fifths” pattern is even better. Let’s focus more on circle of fourths. If you type “circle of fourths” or “circle of fifths” in google, you can actually find a host of other examples. Notice that the keys go from: C >>> F >>> Bb >>> Eb and so forth. If this were a clock, C would be at 12 o’ clock. This is the optimal way to play your scales. Then play your F major scale all the way through (F G A Bb C D E F). Why the circle? Because music also happens to move in this same pattern (way beyond the scope of this article but I’ll touch on it a little bit). But here’s another reason to use the circle. Because it lets you know how related the major keys are to each other. If one just looked at a piano, they’d assume that C and Db, for example, were related because of how close they appear to each other on the piano. The reality is that C and F are more related.
70 Year Old Prophecy : The Earth Will Soon Be Swept By Extraordinary Rapid Waves of Cosmic Electricity Note: While I’m not one to read too much into prophesy, and I have not heard of this man before now, I did find this one to be quite interesting! — Editor Found via RMN: The prophecy was written 70 years ago.. and it’s absolutely mind-blowing! Peter Konstantinov Deunov, also known as Beinsa Douno, born in 1886 and who later passed away in 1944, left a prophecy that he had obtained through a trance based state. The prophecy was therefore dated as 1944, a few days before his death in December that year. “During the passage of time, the consciousness of man traversed a very long period of obscurity. A gradual improvement is already occurring in the thoughts, sentiments and acts of humans, but everybody will soon be subjugated to divine Fire, that will purify and prepare them in regards to the New Era. Some decades will pass before this Fire will come, that will transform the world by bringing it a new moral. Your present life is a slavery, a heavy prison.
