This AP Music Theory study guide covers voice leading principles from the Common Practice Period. It focuses on soprano-bass counterpoint, four-part harmony (SATB), types of voice motion, and voice leading rules (avoiding parallel 5ths/8ves, resolving leading tones). It also explains cadences, bass line construction, chord positions (open/closed), and includes practice questions on these concepts.
