More Than a Riff Level 3 Breakdown

😎COOL CHORDS ALERT😎

Music therapist, there are SO MANY WAYS to level up the chords that you already know how to play! In music therapy sessions, knowing different chords is useful for a variety of scenarios, like improvisation, musicking, and learning to play songs authentically! 🤯

Ending songs on really nice chords like these piques interest because cognitively, we tend to expect a tonic chords to end songs, but we changed up the ending chord! This can be used intentionally to help develop rapport, increase the satisfaction of the ending, and it’s more fun for you too! 😁
