Voice Leading chord chart Bb and Redux

This is the chord sequence to use for all of the Voice leading exercises .In the beginning its useful to loop the first two
bars .The lowest voice (Bass) of the Root must stay in the lower octave and anything above your A will be incorrect as
Bb-C# pitches should always be as low as possible.This a basic redux of all the exercises so definately go back to the
original Handout as there is much more info there.

If the voicing is spread out we can see and hear the actual voicing more clearly.The actual triadic
movement is between 2 major triads a major 3rd apart.The 3rd of the
MinII is the common tone between that chord and the Dominant V.The 7th of the minII chord
moves up and the 5th of the min moves down a half step to b9 on the dominant
