What is a neighbor tone?
Neighbor-tone meaning
Filters. (music) A non-harmonic tone that is a second either higher or lower than two notes that are unison in two chords.
How do you label non-chord tones?
Non-chord tones are notes that do not belong to the chord. Sometimes referred to as “embellishing tones” and “non-harmonic tones,” non-chord tones are classified by how they are approached and left (either by same tone, step, or leap).
What are the two types of non-harmonic tones?
Nonchord tones are often categorized as accented non-chord tones and unaccented non-chord tones depending on whether the dissonance occurs on an accented or unaccented beat (or part of a beat). Over time, some musical styles assimilated chord types outside of the common-practice style.
