I was absolutely shocked to see not just two, but five fully grown Barn Owls emerge from this tiny hole in the dirt. I have no idea how they all fit comfortably in there! Image taken well after sunset.

    Ohhhh. That makes sense and answered one of my other questions too (how do you change keys). There’s probably a lot more to learn about that too, but for now I’m just happy that that clicked. Sometimes you just need the right explanation:)

    I was going to write more, but I’ve been up way too long and I gotta go conk out.

      The finding the way to make things click is always the hardest part, but also the most reqarding!

      There are a number of ways to change keys. You can use a transitional chord that is in your current key and the one you want to change to, you can keep the same root note, but change modes, you can walk notes up or down to get to a new note in your target scale, or work a chord from the new key into the chord progression you’re in. There’s other ways, but these are all ones I’ve come across.

      In the song I’m working on now, it changes keys a few times. The song is pretty much all arpeggio runs, but when it is getting ready to change keys, it will sharpen or flatten one or 2 notes in the current chord to ease into the new key. It’s easy to hear, but there’s no jarring because it’s not jumping to something completely random, they’re keys that just have one or 2 different notes, and they are brought in with a plan to slide from one to another. If you’re just listening and not reading the music, it happens before you even notice it happened, you’re just all “ooo where did these new notes come from?”
