In this tutorial you’ll learn all about the basics of cadences and a bit beyond. Cadences will help you to tell the musical story you want to share. It’s a essential composition tool for anyone who writes music. I will walk you through the 4 main cadences such as the perfect cadence, the plagal cadence and minor plagal cadence, imperfect cadence and the deceptive or interrupted cadence. After that I’ll show you some nice and well known variations such as the Picardi cadence, Andalusian cadence, Super Mario Cadence, Phrygian cadence and the back door cadence. So you can use them yourself in you own compositions.
