What is a tonal modulation?
What are the main types of modulation?
What is a tonal center?

In this unit, the students will learn about modulation. The topics covered will include:
*Pivot chords
*Closely related keys
*Key relationships
*Modulation vs Mode shift
*Modulation via secondary dominant
*Modulation within modes (major to minor or minor to major)
*Common chords and their functions within two keys
*Compositions that incorporate modulations

IN this unit, the student will:
*identify common chords in closely related keys
*define all types of modulation
*demonstrate an understanding of pivot chords through compositions
*demonstrate an understanding of modulation via secondary dominant
*demonstrate an understanding of modulation via mode shifts

Students will:
*Compose 16 measure compositions that include modulations via pivot chord, relative key, mode shift and modulation via secondary dominant

Students will be assessed in this unit via:
*Compositions in which the student will compose correct harmonic progressions that contain modulations using pivot chords and/or sudden modulations, mode shifts, secondary dominants, closely related keys.
*Class work/work sheets
*Board work
*Class participation
