  • Review the discussion on third-species counterpoint from Monday’s class on Piazza.

    • double neighbor
    • nota cambiata
  • For each work group: Upload your two best second-species exercises thus far to your group’s Google Drive folder for me to take a look at and give you feedback (in addition to the first-species exercises already in those folders).

Be sure to bring a device to class that will allow you to work in Piazza. We will move on to fourth-species analysis on Wednesday.
