• Leading Tone always goes to the Tonic
• Chordal Dissonance is common in this topic- Chordal dissonance is the dissonance heard within the Chords
• In first inversion, the third is always in the bass
• Only the bass and tenor voices can have more than an octave jump
• The leading will resolve up and the Chordal 7th Resolves down

This video was helpful to me because it gave examples and helped me to get clear understanding

This figured bass helped me to understand the rules of figured bass slightly better.

SATB

• Dont Double Tendency Notes
• In Spacing : No more than an octave between upper voices, Pay special attention to alto and tenor
• Its important to have the third in the chord becasue third detremines wether chord is major or minor
• There are 2 positions

1. Open Position- A chord elemnt could be placed between any of upper three voices
2. Closed Position- No Chord element can be placed between any of 3 uppervoices

• Avoid Voice crossing
• its ok to double root and fifth
