In this episode of the Chord by Chord series, we expand beyond the basic lower-neighbor connection and explore three essential melodic contours that composers regularly use over I–V–I: Do–Re–Mi, Mi–Re–Do, and the upper neighbor. Rather than treating these as isolated “rules,” we focus on when and why each pattern works, how they shape musical direction, and how to use them without creating common voice-leading problems like unresolved leading tones or direct octaves. This episode builds directly on Episode 1 and shows how small melodic decisions create very different harmonic characters over the same progression. This series is ideal for: • music theory students and teachers, including AP Music Theory • college music majors • composers and performers refining voice leading • anyone who wants to move beyond basic chord connections 🎧 Harmonic Dictation (practice the progressions from this video): 🔗 I–V–I Harmonic Dictation (Level 1):    • Harmonic Dictation #1 – Tonic & Dominant O...   🔗 I–V–I Harmonic Dictation (Level 2):    • Harmonic Dictation #2 – Tonic & Dominant O...   🔗 Next Episode in the Chord by Chord Series:    • Resolving V⁷ to I (Why Incomplete Chords W...   00:00 Review of I–V–I 00:30 Lower-neighbor motion 01:03 Do–Re–Mi contour 01:44 Direct octaves (what to avoid) 03:20 Mi–Re–Do contour 03:40 Resolving the leading tone 05:57 Upper-neighbor motion 06:58 Comparing the four contours
