♦Mod on GFH.SE

I have a wide range of interests, including music, history, and math. I have been playing music for three of four years now and play the cornet, recorder, and piano. 100% of the music on my computer is classical, so you should know what genres I prefer ;). I enjoy studying any history and researching my genealogy. American English is my first language, pero tambien hablo Español. I am also currently taking Calculus 1.

I know that. The OP seemed more interested in modern music and not a lot of songs these days use that cadence. It's mostly hymns and musicals.

comment Figuring out the difference between major and relative minor scales?
What pieces did you look at? For example, take a look at the second or fourth movements of Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. Although the fourth is an anacrusis, the next measure stars with a D while the signature is G. Look at King Cotton. This is also fairly common in hymns. By common, I mean about 10-25%.

@Tim I would have included that in the answer, but I don't think that's the type of cadence the OP is looking for.

comment Figuring out the difference between major and relative minor scales?
"Songs in a key will use the same chords whether they are in maj. or relative min." No, if a song is in C, for example, the relative minor (Am) will not involve the same chords. With the same chords, the tonic is still on C, not A.

Pieces often start on the dominant, not always the tonic. They end on the tonic 99.99% of the time.

Don't worry, the limit's 30 000 characters, almost six times the length of the answer. :P
