Advanced Diatonic Pivot Modulation for Composers
INTRO PRICE UNTIL 7/7/2025
Master the art of smooth, convincing diatonic pivot chord key changes using formulas to get you started, and gradually decreasing formulas as your understanding grows. 13 comprehensive video lessons and detailed exercises that transform pivot chord modulation from guesswork into systematic mastery. Diatonic pivot chord modulation has become a very rare ability in our time period, but not obsolete. You can make this rare ability available to add to your arsenal of harmonic composing techniques.
Join the ranks of rare composers today who understand the advanced harmonic movement of Diatonic Pivot Chord Modulation
It is a curious fact that Diatonic Modulation is the only absolute modulation. Yet, paradoxically, it has been relegated to the forgotten techniques. It is a pity, for the study of diatonic modulation tends to prove, more than any other element of harmonic study, that the "logistics" of harmony did not come about through chance.
The question arises: how can modulations to distant keys be accomplished by diatonic processes when at least one chromatic change is required to modulate even to the closest related key?
Downloadable Course Includes:
- 13 Video Lessons (1 Hour 42 Minutes of Advanced Training)
- 14 PDF Exercise Guides covering every modulation type from closely related to distant keys

The Formula-Based System:
Stop guessing your way through modulations. This course reveals the systematic formulas that history's greatest composers used to move between any keys smoothly and convincingly. We've distilled years of classical training into practical, repeatable methods.
Move beyond static progressions into dynamic harmonic storytelling. This course covers advanced techniques that most musicians never discover, giving you the tools to create seamless transitions that sound inevitable, not accidental.
- Master every possible key relationship
- Each formula builds systematically on the last
- Learning to "Travel Through Keys" to your target destination
- Lessons teach through constraints that force creative problem-solving
With Our Video Lessons and Exercises:
- Transform any chord into a pathway to distant keys using systematic pivot techniques
- Avoid sounding like secondary dominants when modulating to closely related keys
- Build emotional impact through displacement - learn when and how to expose non-common tones for convincing key changes
- Create Wagner-style modulation chains that travel through multiple keys smoothly
Reviews On Our Courses:
"Best course on the subject that i've found on the entire internet. This was a godsend, i think functional harmony is one of the most poorly taught subjects in all of music. this course is an exception though. thank you so much."
"Life Changing. Inspiring. Best Music Course I've Ever Done. I've been doing Robert's Chromatic Harmony Course religiously for that last year today I am a different musician. 100X better composer, i"m starting to wander around the musical keys and sometimes I surprise myself and burst out laughing at how cool the thing I just did was...Its like I'm channeling music all of a sudden, it's spiritual. I've never had this with music before, despite years of trying and following other courses. This one was the key for me. It feels like magic."
"Hands Down, The Best Composing Purchase I Have Ever Made. Before the course I could not for the life of me figure out how to get the augmented 6th working. 1 week with the course and I can move through any of the augmented 6ths chords at will. This course is not only a must for composing, it is also the key to improvisation."
Ideal for: Composers Ready to Master Advanced Harmonic Movement
This is not beginner material. You'll need solid functional harmony knowledge and the ability to quickly form chords in all keys. But if you're ready to elevate your compositional skills, this course provides the systematic approach that conservatory training often lacks.
FAQ:
Q: "Is my theory knowledge advanced enough?"
A: You must be fluent in all keys and functional harmony. If you need a place to start check out our Functional Harmony Course.
Q: "Will this work for film music?"
A: Absolutely. These techniques are used by John Williams and Wagner. The formulas work across all styles that use tonal harmony.
Q: "How is this different from just learning chord progressions?"
A: This teaches you the systematic thinking behind smooth modulation. Instead of memorizing progressions, you'll understand the logic that lets you create your own paths between any keys.
