Using Too Many Non-Chord Tones - Music Composition

This music composition lesson explores the embellishment of music with non-chord tones/ inessential notes, including a reminder of what are the most common inessential notes. We then consider the implication of using too many non-chord tones when they start to clutter the melodic focus or harmonic activity. We consider the implications of tempo and other factors. An example of over use of non-chord tones is unpacked then a less congested alternative is examined. This video will help those wondering how often to use inessential notes in a piece of music.
