Second species counterpoint (watch for Monday 2/24)
Watch this video, then do the front and back of the worksheet for Second Species Counterpoint.
In case I don't mention it on the video, allowable melodic leaps are the same as in first species, and starting/ending notes are also the same. Also, aim for a climax like in first species.

Video for Wednesday 2/5
Here is a video in which I explain roman numerals
(in major keys) and the chord names (Tonic, dominant, etc.)
I also give several tasks for you to practice. In my voice-over, I direct you to pause and try it around 6:10, where it says "APPLY your understanding," around 7:40, and once more at 9:14. I would like you to do all of these.
Note, this was originally an enhanced podcast with images and audio. If you'd like to download it, you can do so by clicking here.
