Hear the rap: 03:20 Hear the Neoclassical: 07:38
This video demonstrates how easy it is to write modern music when you have some theoretical guidelines in place. Writing a minimalist rap beat in harmonic minor only takes a few minutes if you have the proper software. A neoclassical section will be more complicated, but crafting the chords is easy if you understand the theory taught in the last two videos. I am all about USING MUSIC THEORY, not just LEARNING it!
As is often the case though, I decided to “break the rules” and introduce chords from A Dorian into the final arpeggio section because I enjoy the sound of a IV when we are firmly in a minor or harmonic minor scale, it provides a boost of adrenaline and triumph!

Let’s Write NEOCLASSICAL and RAP Music with Harmonic Minor [SONGWRITING / MUSIC THEORY]
Jake Lizzio
After performing in highschool bands and talent shows, I began teaching during my Senior Year in highschool at Crystal Lake South in 2004.
I went on to teach at Piano Trends Music Company in Crystal Lake, and there I began expanding my skills outside of just the guitar and began performing for weddings and private events. After leaving to teach privately, I began recording my students and myself.
This hobby eventually turned into a profession after I acquired the experience and equipment needed to produce quality audio and music. My goal now is to provide the highest quality online music lessons available and within reach to all who are interested.
