Notes to Appendix VI - Lesson 12

Appendix VI - Lesson 12 is about something we studied in the early lessons of Volume 1:  Using turn-arounds as Introductions and Endings.  Way back then, we learned that the formal name for a turn-around was a "cadence".  Mickey uses the term "authentic cadence" to mean a ii - V or a ii - V - I turn-around.  So guess what? Any of your turn-arounds you started archiving since about Lesson 3 of Volume 1 will work just great here!

Mickey has given us two exercises, each comprising three examples.  He tells us that an Introduction is a cadence (or turn-around) that ends on the V.  An ending is the same thing, only with an added measure that puts an ending I chord.  This ending chord is generally a highly colored chord, such as a Maj9 or a 6/9

Exercise 29 - 3 Introductions in the key of C. 

Exercise 30 - 3 Endings in the key of C, identical to Exercise 29, but with the addition of an extra measure each and a tonic chord.

Just for fun, I've written two Bonus exercises using turn-arounds from Volume 1 just to show how simple it really is.  I've followed the same format as Mickey in his two exercises and none should be a surprise to anyone that's made it to this lesson.

Additional Exercises:  Why don't you take some of your favorite turn-arounds and write your own intro's and endings?

Have FUN with it!!
