Somebody answer me!?!?

Question

Please Don't click away when I mention pivot chords, what pivot chord do I use when modulating from G major to D major?

Answer 1

Why should we do your homework?

Pivot chords are chords common to both keys. Remember at some point you have to establish a new dominant -- A is the new dominant. But you cannot use it as a pivot chord. The rest is up to you.

The more work you do yourself, the more you will learn.

Answer 2

I'm with Glinzek. If you got this as homework, you should know how to do this. I'll give you some help. In any major key, the order for chords are: Imaj, iim, iiim, IVmaj, Vmaj, vim, viidim. So here are the chords in C major: Cmaj, Dm, Em, Fmaj, Gmaj, Am, Bdim. So just plug in the notes for G major and D major(be sure to add the sharps) and you can use any chords that are the same as your pivot chord. Then just resolve it in the new key using traditional harmony rules. The dominant is the V, subdominant is the IV, and relative minor is the minor key with the same key signature. So in G, you got that D is dominant, so what is IV in G and what minor key has one sharp. When you figure that out, just plug the notes of that scale in the formula and do the same thing you did for D major. Here is the formula for minor keys: im, iidim, IIImaj, ivm, vm, VImaj, VIImaj. This is only for the natural form of the scale but the harmonic and melodic forums are used more often so that would change the whole thing which is why it is better to do you're own homework. I have no way of knowing what form of the minor scale you are expected to use.
Hope this help.
