 Keep the common tone between chords

 Move the shortest distance within individual voices

 Keep the common tone between chords  Move the shortest distance within individual voices  Preferred doubling: 1) root, 2) fifth, 3) third

 Keep the common tone between chords  Move the shortest distance within individual voices  Preferred doubling: 1) root, 2) fifth, 3) third  Don’t double two different notes of the chord

 Keep the common tone between chords  Move the shortest distance within individual voices  Preferred doubling: 1) root, 2) fifth, 3) third  Don’t double two different notes of the chord  Follow leaps larger than a third with stepwise motion in the opposite direction

 Keep the common tone between chords  Move the shortest distance within individual voices  Preferred doubling: 1) root, 2) fifth, 3) third  Don’t double two different notes of the chord  Follow leaps larger than a third with stepwise motion in the opposite direction  Avoid leaps larger than a perfect fifth

 Resolve the leading tone up by step

 Leading tone may resolve down in an inner part, in the middle of a phrase

 Resolve the leading tone up by step  Leading tone may resolve down in an inner part, in the middle of a phrase  Resolve chord seventh down by step

 Resolve the leading tone up by step  Leading tone may resolve down in an inner part, in the middle of a phrase  Resolve chord seventh down by step  Avoid dissonant leaps

 Resolve the leading tone up by step  Leading tone may resolve down in an inner part, in the middle of a phrase  Resolve chord seventh down by step  Avoid dissonant leaps  Avoid parallel fifths and octaves

1. Resolve Leading tone 2. Resolve Chord seventh 3. Tripled Root Preferred

Resolve all voices down (if no V7, keep common tone)

1. For Root Position 7 th chords in the sequential progression, alternate complete and incomplete (doubled root) chords for the smoothest voice-leading.

2. Keep the common tone between chords.

3. Resolve other voices down by step. This will involve the correct resolution of chord sevenths

1. Resolve the Leading Tone

2. Resolve other voices down by the shortest distance

1. Keep the common tone between chords.

2. Move other voices by the shortest distance.

Visually check for dissonant leaps, parallelism, doubling problems, large leaps...

Play it and listen for voice-leading errors...
