A clear walk-through of the symbols and notation used in Mapping Tonal Harmony Pro, explaining how regions, functions, and modulation markers work on the map.
This lesson decodes the visual language of Mapping Tonal Harmony Pro, covering the house/mountain/boat regions (tonic, subdominant, dominant), primary and secondary circles, color coding, and nonstandard symbols like sub2⁷ and two-minor. It explains functional inversion and inversion shapes, pedal and bass detectors, arrows/brackets for common progressions (2–5, sub2–5, 5–1, plagal), and how modulations and pivot chords are shown. Practical examples show how to read progressions on the map and interpret tension, cadence strength, and expected harmonic paths.
