Modulation

Music · 50 practice questions

Simple diatonic modulations (using a single melodic line) from any given major key, not exceeding two sharps and two flats, to any of its closely related keys (dominant and subdominant).

  • Determine the key of a given melody and its modulation.

Try a few questions

  1. Practice question 1

    A melody that modulates to its dominant key specifically often introduces the

    • A.exact same key signature as the original tonic key, with no change of any kind
    • B.raised seventh degree (leading note) of that new key
    • C.lowered third degree of the new key, a feature instead associated with a minor key
    • D.a factor entirely unrelated to introducing the raised seventh degree of the new key
    Show the answer

    B. raised seventh degree (leading note) of that new key

    A melody that modulates to its dominant key specifically often introduces the raised seventh degree (leading note) of the new key.

  2. Practice question 2

    A melody in D major modulating to its subdominant key specifically would modulate to

    • A.A major, a key that would instead represent modulation to the dominant, not the subdominant
    • B.G major
    • C.B minor, a key that is instead the relative minor of D major, not its subdominant
    • D.a factor entirely unrelated to modulating to G major from the key of D major
    Show the answer

    B. G major

    A melody in D major modulating to its subdominant key specifically would modulate to G major.

  3. Practice question 3

    A melody that modulates to its subdominant key specifically often introduces a new,

    • A.a factor entirely unrelated to introducing a new flattened note
    • B.raised seventh degree, a feature instead typically introduced by modulation to the dominant
    • C.flattened note not found in the original tonic key
    • D.sharpened note not found in the original tonic key, the reverse of the typical change
    Show the answer

    C. flattened note not found in the original tonic key

    A melody that modulates to its subdominant key specifically often introduces a new, flattened note not found in the tonic key.
