How to Modulate - Music Theory

The video tutorial explains modulation in music, focusing on changing keys smoothly using pivot chords. It begins by defining modulation and its challenges, such as abrupt transitions. The instructor then introduces pivot chords, which are common to both the original and target keys, facilitating a smooth transition. The video includes a detailed analysis of chords in D Major and A Major, identifying potential pivot chords. Finally, a practical demonstration shows how to apply these concepts to achieve seamless modulation, avoiding the 'bumpy' effect often encountered.
