These  non-chord tones are called non-harmonic tones. When a melody passes from one  chord tone to a different chord tone with a non-harmonic tone (a half or whole  step) between, the non-harmonic tone is called a <strong>passing tone<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/course\">pg  252<\/a>, &#8220;The Secrets to Playing Piano by Ear&#8221;).<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">What does this mean?<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-style: normal\"><font face=\"Arial\">Simply  put, if you were playing the beginning of &#8220;Mary had a little lamb&#8221; (E &#8211; D &#8211; C &#8211;  D &#8211; E &#8211; E &#8211; E) over a Cmaj chord, the &#8216;D&#8217; notes in this sequence would be  passing tones because they are not a part of the C major chord (C + E + G).  Notice the &#8216;E&#8217; and &#8220;C&#8217; notes are a part of the C major chord so they are not  called passing tones &#8212; they are called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/course\"> chord tones<\/a>.<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><strong><span style=\"font-style: normal\"><font face=\"Arial\"> Neighboring Tones<\/font><\/span><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-style: normal\">When a melody  passes from one chord tone back to the <\/span>same<span style=\"font-style: normal\">  chord tone with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/course\"> non-harmonic tone<\/a> (a half or whole step) between, the non-harmonic tone is  called a neighboring tone.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">What does this mean?<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-style: normal\"><font face=\"Arial\"> Basically, passing and neighboring tones function similarly but have one minor  difference &#8212; the next note. If the melody is going to a different note and  just &#8220;passing by&#8221; a non-harmonic note (again&#8230; simply a note that ISN&#8217;T a part  of the chord being used with the melody), then it&#8217;s called a passing tone. As  simple as that.<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-style: normal\"><font face=\"Arial\">If the  melody is moving from one chord tone to a next door neighbor tone, then  immediately back to the original chord tone, the &#8220;in-between&#8221; tone is called a  neighboring tone. If you don&#8217;t get this, it&#8217;s better illustrated with pictures.  I strongly recommend my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/course\"> course<\/a> if you think this is interesting and want to learn more.<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-style: normal\"><font face=\"Arial\">Whether  you call them upper or lowering neighboring tones depends on which way the  melody is going.<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-style: normal\"><font face=\"Arial\">It is an  upper neighboring tone when it is above the chord tone and a lower neighboring  tone when it is below the chord tone.<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-style: normal\"><font face=\"Arial\">Let&#8217;s see  how well you understand this:<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-style: normal\"><font face=\"Arial\"> ________________________________________________________<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 700; font-style: normal\"> <font face=\"Arial\">Is this an example of a passing tone or neighboring tone?<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-style: normal\"><font face=\"Arial\">Chord: C  maj (C+E+G)<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-style: normal\"><font face=\"Arial\">Melody: C  D C<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-style: normal\"><font face=\"Arial\">Answer:  This is an example of a neighboring tone relationship because the &#8220;D&#8221; is not a  part of the notes of the chord <u><strong>AND<\/strong><\/u> because the melody is going  from the &#8220;D&#8221; back to the original &#8220;C&#8221; chord tone.

For example, if the melody was D  E D, then a neighboring tone relationship would have been the correct answer.  However, since the &#8220;E&#8221; is used to move forward to &#8220;F&#8221;, another chord tone, this  creates a passing tone relationship between the &#8220;E&#8221; and the other chord tones.<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 700; font-style: normal\"> <font face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\">How does knowing this information help you to  determine melodies?<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-style: normal\"><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"> For starters, it helps you to understand that melodies aren&#8217;t just randomly  played notes that you have to figure out&#8230; they generally use notes that are  right next to each other.<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 700; font-style: normal\"> <font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">Let&#8217;s analyze &#8220;Mary had a little lamb&#8221; to see what  I&#8217;m talking about:<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-style: normal\"><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"> E D C D E E E (Ma-ry had a lit-tle lamb)<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-style: normal\"><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"> D D D (lit-tle lamb)<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-style: normal\"><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"> E G G (lit-tle lamb)<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-style: normal\"><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"> E D C D E E E E (Ma-ry had a lit-tle lamb, her)<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-style: normal\"><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"> D D E D C (fleece was white as snow)<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">Now&#8230; ask yourself a few questions?<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-style: normal\"><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"> Are these notes randomly spread out or do you see patterns here?<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-style: normal\"><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"> Do you see a bunch of passing and neighboring tones like I do?<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-style: normal\"><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"> Are the notes generally right next to each other (and not more than one note a  part when there is a jump like from the E to G in the third line)?<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><strong><span style=\"font-style: normal\"> <font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">Let&#8217;s analyze another easy nursery rhyme \/ lullaby:<\/font><\/span><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><strong><span style=\"font-style: normal\"> <font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">&#8220;Are you sleeping&#8221;<\/font><\/span><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-style: normal\"><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"> C D E C (Are you sleep-ing)<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-style: normal\"><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"> C D E C (Are you sleep-ing)<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-style: normal\"><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"> E F G (Bro-ther John)<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-style: normal\"><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"> E F G (Bro-ther John)<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-style: normal\"><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"> G A G F E C (Morn-ing bells are ring-ing)<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-style: normal\"><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"> G A G F E C (Morn-ing bells are ring-ing)<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-style: normal\"><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"> C G C (Ding dong ding)<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-style: normal\"><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"> C G C (Ding dong ding)<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 700; font-style: normal\"> <font face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\">So how do I harmonize these melodies &#8230; already?!!!<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-style: normal\"><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"> This is where I want to introduce the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/course\"> &#8220;harmonization&#8221; chart<\/a>.

Every note in a major scale has its own harmonizing chord.

Whenever a note is played, simply replace it with its harmonizing chord.<\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-style: normal\"><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"> 3. When all one-note melodies have been replaced with harmonizing chords, you  have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/course\"> full-sounding basic song.<\/a><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><span style=\"font-style: normal\"><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"> Let&#8217;s take the C major scale (but keep in mind that every major scale has its  own harmonizing chords).
