Melody notes usually work best when they belong to the prevailing chord. However, by only using notes that belong to the chord (harmony notes) melodic lines can become boxed in and tend to jump around too much. This is where inessential notes come in, such as passing notes, anticipatory notes, changing notes and auxiliary notes. In the case of an auxiliary note, a note is sounded that belongs to the prevailing chord. It then moves up a tone or semitone then comes back to the previous note - this is an upper auxiliary note. When the same pattern occurs but the middle note is a step down from the first and third notes, we call this a lower auxiliary note. In this music theory lesson, auxiliary notes are fully explained, written down and illustrated in sound. Ideal for performers, for those studying theory or analysis, and for composers wanting to enhance their melodic writing.\n
