Why do you need to know about cadences? (Why does anybody need to know about anything?) Well, that's simple: because cadences can make YOUR music sound BETTER!
In fact, cadences are responsible for musical passages sounding more "complete" — or resolved, like we've finally returned back home — or they can help the end of a passage lead curiously into the next.
The farther away from home we travel, the better it feels to loop on back around for a kiss from mum. And so the farther away you venture from the tonic in an extended musical cycle, the more you wander away and explore, the more options you have to creatively tumble back into the safety net of your tonal center. Hence, here are a handful of the most popular types of cadences to incorporate into your music, like, now.
This video will help you gain a better understanding of what cadences are, how they work, what different types exist, and how to use them to make your music sound oh so much better.
