Why

  • Roam the key's notes over one chord — find what fits and what colors.

  • Weave aeolian lines across two chords, decisions following the harmony.

  • Surround a triad tone with its neighbours — enclosure, a staple of melodic phrasing.

  • Lead into each chord's root using the key's other degrees — the pull of resolution.
