A Workshop by Dan Rivers
Regional Coordinator New Orleans,
NSAI Nashville Songwriters Association International

Workshop is for songwriters and musicians that want to enhance their songs
through chord substitution and understand how chords function in a song.

The workshop consists of a basic lesson on the major scales and how to build
chords from these scales.

The function of each chord is reviewed along with some standard chord
progressions.

Learn how to substitute chords.

Secondary dominant chords are explained and how and when to use them.

Although it is helpful to have a basic music theory understanding, no prior
music theory is required to benefit from this workshop.

Diatonic Scale - Chords built from Diatonic Scale

Functions - Tonic/ Dominant/ Sub-dominant

Basic Progressions - Chord substitutions

Inversions - Circle of Fifths

Secondary dominants
