[Harp-L] Strict Counterpoint

[bon@xxxxxxxxxx]

The basic rules of strict counterpoint is no parallel 5th's or octaves 
with the "Cantus Firmus" and you must land on a consonant interval, i.e., 
octave, 5th or 3rd. It is best for your son to try to write a counter 
melody himself full of mistakes and learn what makes good counterpoint.

Harmonically yours,
