I am writing some music and I am playing in A minor but i want to go into it's relative C major i dont want to go straight into it i kind of want to build up to the point in which the key changes.

Any Help?

D minor is IV in A minor and II in C major - very useful! Use II7 and then V7 of C major to help you get into C major.

What doyou mean by II7 and V 7 ?? I.e what notes are they??

Sorry for sounding stupid

Do your A minor bit ending with the tonic (ACE). Then go for II7 (DFAC) and then V7 (GBDF) into I (CEG). It will sound fine.

Does that help?

Thanks alot. That sounds great.

Maybe one day i will understand properley how to just work it out like that

I know this is slightly off what you were wanting to do, but why not modulate to C minor?? just for fun try this:



OK OK I know I have broken a million rules - but how cool does it sound?? te he he!

Have fun.
