Follow the highest and lowest sounding parts first, then use them as a frame for everything between. You’ll hear why soprano and bass often make the clearest outline of a texture.

Use what you learned in the previous lesson to solve real-world problems.

Listen for a pitch that stays the same while the chord around it changes. You’ll recognize common tones as one voice holding steady, not as a new note each time the harmony shifts.

Use register, rhythm, entrances, rests, and repeated notes to keep track of a middle part. You’ll practice following an inner voice even when the melody and bass are easier to hear.

Use what you learned in the previous lesson to solve real-world problems.

Compare two parts and decide whether they move together, apart, in the same direction, or with one voice staying still. You’ll connect these sounds to parallel, similar, contrary, and oblique motion.

Pick one part in a short song—such as the bass, lead vocal, or backing line—and follow it across a phrase. You’ll use lyrics, rhythm, and repeated patterns to stay with that one musical thread.

Use what you learned in the previous lesson to solve real-world problems.

Trace soprano, alto, tenor, and bass as four singable parts in a chorale texture. You’ll practice hearing SATB harmony as coordinated lines rather than a series of block chords.

Separate a simple piano texture into melody, bass, and accompaniment roles. You’ll listen for which notes carry the tune, which support the low end, and which fill the harmony between them.

Use what you learned in the previous lesson to solve real-world problems.

Find the implied lines inside arpeggios, broken chords, and simple patterns like Alberti bass. You’ll hear how a single hand pattern can suggest several voices moving through time.
