64.61Level 23 — pentatonic chord melodies

Take a simple melody in C.

For each important note:

ask whether it can live inside:

C major pentatonic

D major pentatonic

or another chosen collection.

Then harmonize using other members of that same five-note set.

This creates a coherent color language across a phrase.
