Prior Information You Will Need
Reading the Treble and Bass Clefs.Finding and labeling the key.Using numbers (or solfege) to analyze the
melody. Building triads/chords on each scale degree.Analyzing what triads/chords contain the melody

THE PROCESS
DETERMINE THE KEY.ANALYZE THE MELODY USING SCALE DEGREES. ADD THE ROMAN NUMERALS FOR THE CHORDS TO BE
USED.CREATE YOUR BASS LINE.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO USE PARALLEL FIFTHS AND EIGHTHS REMEMBER TO WRITE IN THE RANGE OF THE BASS VOICE
FILL IN THE ALTO AND TENOR LINES. FILL IN THESE VOICES ONE VOICE AT A TIME AS IF EACH WERE
THEIR OWN MELODY. REMEMBER EVERY CHORD MEMBER MUST BE PRESENT UNLESS
THE RESULT WILL BE BREAKING THE RULES. ONLY THE THIRD MAY BE OMITTED.
DOUBLE CHECK YOUR WORK TO MAKE SURE YOU DID NOT MISS ANYTHING OR BREAK THE RULES.
