Types of Cadences: Theory Worksheet for Guitarby Brian Streckfus Educational Exercises - Digital Sheet Music

Product Description

Color-coded cadences included:
1. Perfect : good for inducing the audience to clap
2. Imperfect: good for inducing the audience to wait in suspense
3. Half : good for inducing the audience to wait in suspense
4. Deceptive: good for suprising the audience with an unexpected emotion

Tips:
1. Understanding these cadences can make you a better composer and performer because you will be able to control the audience's expectations, such as controlling when they want or do not want to applaud. Making ending imperfect subliminally tells the audience there is more music to come.

2. This worksheet is also a good opportunity to talk about "smooth" voice leading, which is rare to see in guitar culture. Even classical guitarists before Mauro Giuliani were not that good at following 18th century part writing "rules". Unfortunately, the giant stereotypical guitar chords tend to break these rules, which is why I often recommend keeping chords to four notes on guitar. This gives more of a sense that it is four well-written melodies that just so happen to make a good chord progression as well. Modern pop culture tends not to care about this (an exception is the beginning of "Stairway to Heaven", which has well crafted and has smooth part writing with contrary motion, which explains why it is so epic sounding). Writing music this way is hard to play on guitar since some notes are going higher while other notes are going lower, which maybe explains why it is not trendy in pop culture.
