Some Day My Prince Will Come in All Keys – mDecks Music
Deeply explore the harmony and melody of “Someday My Prince Will Come,” practice the first four bars in all 12 keys, and develop practical improvisation and oral skills.
This lesson breaks down the first four measures of “Someday My Prince Will Come,” showing how the melody functions as both a V–I outline and as scale degrees against altered dominants (Mixolydian b9 b13) and 7#5 tensions. You’ll learn to recognize the recurring major-third sequence (1 → 5-of-6, 4 → 5-of-2), reharmonizations, and appoggiatura/#11 voice-leading so you can play and hear the progression in any key. Practical guidance emphasizes moving between the original key and others, reading chord charts in all 12 keys, and internalizing the melody’s changing color as it appears over different chords to improve improvisation and aural fluency.
