In second species there are 2 notes for every 1 note of the Cantus Firmus
2nds, 4ths, 7ths, augmented, and diminished are allowed in harmony
In Second counterpoint it is advised that approach and leave Dissonances by Steps only
For Third Species Counterpoint dissonances must be on the weak beats of the bar
Dissonances are to be "sandwiched" or covered on both sides by consonances
This video on second counterpoint was helpful because it went into details explaining the can's and cant's of second species counterpoint in under 10 minutes
Example of second species rotating in both upper and lower voices
Example of Third Species 3 notes in bar

This vidoe was helpful as it orovided helpful information about third species
in a leadsheet there is always a 7th no matter what type of chord it is
A Seventh Chord can be defined as a triad made up of a root, a third, a fifth, and seventh counting from the root.
Types of 7th Chords include dominant seventh, major seventh chord, minor seventh Chord,half diminished seventh chord, diminished seventh chord to name a few examples.
each 7th is determined by finding out what the triad is first, then the 7th, for example a dominnat 7th consists of a major triad and minor 7th
dominant 7ths will resolve to the 1 degree of scale
These chords serve as dominant major key
An invesrion of a seventh chord is simply moving the lowest note up an octave
This videa was particulary helpful as it was engaging by asking questions and showing example of inversion
This video was also helpful to me asit gave examples from common songs

I learned from this previous video that seventh chords are important because they provide a richer and fuller sound as compared to a regular triad. Very helpful video.
This video was usful as it used examples and had an eyecathing video title
