This technique also works for improvisation when you are given a melody without chord symbols. Once you determine a logical chord progression, you can create a compelling accompaniment.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"import-Normal\">Here are some tips for harmonizing a melody successfully:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>First, get to know the melody really well. Sing it, play it, internalize it.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Determine the most appropriate [pb_glossary id=\"2246\"]harmonic rhythm[\/pb_glossary] (i.e., the rate of chord change). Strive for a consistent harmonic rhythm.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Take inventory of the most important and emphasized notes in the melody. If you are stuck, a good rule to follow is that notes that are repeated, placed on strong metric beats, and\/or given a long duration are generally important. From this inventory of important notes, determine the chords that are possible. All important melodic notes should be chord tones.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Use tonal progressions that follow standard T-P-D-T (tonic-predominant-dominant-tonic) patterns or harmonic sequences we have studied. When in doubt, play a few different possibilities and let your ear decide which one sounds best.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Ends of phrases should conform to one of the cadence types we have studied.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p class=\"import-Normal\">After indicating a progression through chord symbols, Roman numerals, and\/or Nashville numbers, realize your harmonization by writing out the chords that belong to it. You can be creative in this realization by choosing whatever texture you find most suitable for the melody you are harmonizing.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"import-Normal\">Consider the melody that appears in Example 20\u20111. After playing or singing the tune, choose a harmonization following the steps above, then write it using chord symbols above the staff and provide a Roman numeral analysis in the key of F major beneath the staff. Circle any notes in the melody that do not belong in the harmonization.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"textbox textbox--examples\"><header class=\"textbox__header\">\r\n<p class=\"textbox__title\">Example 20\u20111.
