Q. hey do you know the piano letter notes for when i look at you miley cyrus song i really need to know them cuz... i love that song plz tell me them thanx!
A. You mean for the piano part, or for the melody? And, you want... all the notes? That will take a long time and will be nearly impossible using only text...
The song starts in a minor key. Call it D# minor or Eb minor (6-sharps or 6-flats).
Okay so the piano part goes...
F# B F# A#---- F# A# F# G#---- F F# (D# and B)
Or alternatively,
Gb Cb Gb Bb--- Gb Bb Gb Ab---- F Gb (Eb and Cb)
The notes in parentheses are played together (a chord).
How do I modulate from the key of E flat major to the key of Fmajor?
Q. I am trying to create a transition between 2 songs - the first is in E flat major, and the second is in F major. The songs are children's hymns, so the transition should fit well with that style. I can play the piano well, but I know next to nothing about theory. Help!
A. Okay, so you need to modulate up a whole-tone, and you don't want to confuse the kids. If you're going to use pivot chords, I suggest you use a long transitory period, because you'll need to hammer home that you've changed keys in fact. One of my favourite cop-outs is to go octatonic, but if you do that, you'll confuse your audience with all the inherent tri-tones.
What if you somehow tonicised iii in Eb (that's ii in F). Could you go between V and I twice, then do V^7 of iii, for a surprise? (Actually, that could genuinely modulate you to g minor.) A simple scale with "A natural" in it would work if you landed on E. Your chords are EbM7-Gm/D-Gdim/Db-C. (C7 would also work, but it might be almost too directive. I think you want a clearer sound than the seventh quality gives.) You start the scale on an upbeat, and descend majestically to the E, changing chords every two steps. Medleys are tough. If I were you, I would have transposed it into Gb.
Anyway, if those options don't work, you can always just use a "go" modulation. I think kids are used enough to hearing it in pop music it won't confuse them. The question is, "Do you want to educate their ears, or do you want it easy on them (and therefore you)?"
Hope I've helped.
What sort of chord progression should I use?
Q. I'm trying to write something on a piano. The "verse" consists of one bar of C, one bar of A, one bar of Gb, half bar of F, half bar of E, then repeated. I'm not quite sure how to work with the chorus though. Any suggestions?
A. What you have so far is pretty unusual.
You're coming down in minor thirds C - A - Gb and then finish chromatically F - E.
There is no real connection to a key center as finishing on the E chord does not lead naturally back to C.
Do you have a key in mind?
You could go to F for the chorus or Dm.
Whatever you do, make it a different shape. Move around less like:
F /// | E /// | Dm /// | C /// | F /// | E /// | F /// | G /// | or simile.
It sounds to me like you could do with some harmonic variety instead of just a bunch of major chords.
But then who am I to judge!
