Adding piano chords to a melody involves several steps and considerations. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you harmonize a melody with chords: 1. Analyze the Melody Identify Key: Determine the key of the melody. This helps you know which chords are diatonic (belonging to the key). Note Analysis: Identify the notes in the melody and their relationship to the key. This helps you choose appropriate chords. 2. Basic Chord Progressions I-IV-V-I: Start with simple chord progressions like I-IV-V-I (e.g., C-F-G-C in C major). Common Progressions: Use common progressions such as ii-V-I, vi-IV-I-V, etc. 3.Harmonize Each Note Chord Selection: For each melody note, select chords that contain that note. For example, if the melody note is E in the key of C major, potential chords include C major (C-E-G), A minor (A-C-E), and F major (F-A-C). Chord Inversion: Use inversions to make chord transitions smoother and more cohesive. 4. Match Chords to Melody Rhythm Chord Duration: Decide how long each chord should last based on the rhythm of the melody. read less
