Music Matters

Aim for stability in at least one inner voice, usually the alto. Using a short musical excerpt, this voice leading lesson shows how keeping the alto (and to a lesser extent, the tenor) relatively static while the melody and bass carry the movement helps bind a passage together harmonically. This inner stability strengthens the chord progression and helps avoid common pitfalls like crossing parts, awkward spacing, and doubled major thirds, a practical tip for composition students and diploma candidates alike.
