Thought it might be interesting to see how some of us approach modulating. I think most of us have a few preferred changes we use, but I'd love to her about what others do.

I use two different modulations for the most part.

One is to, in a turnaround, come off the 1 chord and pivot off of a 5 chord in the next highest key.

Ex: IN the key of C, pivot off a Ab chord and modulate the tune into the key of Db...

A second one I use is to pivot off a 6 chord and then continue in a new key two steps higher than where you started.

Ex: In the key of C, pivot off an A chord then modulate the tune into the key of D...

...not too sophisticated, but tried and true.

What are your favorites?
