Change Keys

Show Notes

Most new songs are in the same key from start to finish, which is one of the main reasons why they get boring after a few listens. Musically they don't go anywhere! Wanna make better songs? Change keys. The easiest way to change keys (i.e. modulate) is to use a different scale/mode from the same root, e.g. if your verse is in A Dorian, write your chorus in A Lydian.
