Deceptive Cadences – What The Heck Are They?

Deceptive Cadences

Cadences are simply chord progressions that end with a pause, or just end. A plagal cadence (also known as an Amen cadence) moves from the IV chord to the I chord. An authentic cadence moves from the V chord to the I chord. A complete cadence moves from the IV to the V to the I. But a deceptive cadence is like a curve ball in baseball – it tries to fool the hitter – and in music it surprises the listener by moving from one chord to a chord that the listener doesn’t expect.

About Duane

Duane Shinn (that would be me) has good news for you if you want to play the piano. He (me) has little fat hands & stubby little fingers - not at all suited for playing the piano - more suited to making mud pies or some such. I am also fairly uncoordinated with just average musical ability - certainly not a great piano player. But I've learned a ton about music over the years and people tell me I'm pretty decent at explaining how music works & how to progress more rapidly on the piano. Over the years I have developed about 150 techniques for conquering the piano. Most professional pianists can do these techniques, but very few can explain them in a way people can understand. I specialize in making complex techniques simple. I invite you to watch a few of my free videos and see some of these for yourself before making any decision about taking any of my courses.
