Exercise 02

This exercise covers demonstration of irregular successions. As discussed this involves pushing an active step against its preferred direction of resolution by approaching it from the opposite direction.

For example the 7th Scale Step may be forced downwards by approaching it from the step above (8) even though it should naturally resolve upwards, (8 -> 7 -> 6)

Notes:

“C Major Scale”
