Opportunity BasketVoice Leading Rulebook: Interactive Decision Tree & Scoring System
A downloadable, printable decision tree + scoring rubric (PDF + interactive web version) that walks students through parallel interval rules step-by-step, with context-dependent answers (e.g., 'Are you in a fugal exposition? Are both voices outer voices? Is this a suspension resolution?'). Includes 50+ annotated score excerpts from Bach, Brahms, and modern composers showing where rules bend and why. Students submit their two-part exercises to a peer-review checklist based on the same tree, reducing grading ambiguity for instructors.

Value Proposition
Eliminates the 'contradictory rules' problem by making rule application *contextual and transparent*. Instructors get a standardized rubric they can hand to students immediately; students stop forum-diving and get instant feedback via the checklist. Beats existing textbooks because it's *interactive, updatable, and designed for the specific confusion point* rather than buried in 400 pages.
Target Audience
Music theory instructors (K-12 and university), composition students ages 14-22, and private lesson teachers who assign counterpoint exercises
Key Features
- Decision tree flowchart (printable PDF + web-based interactive version with clickable branches)
- 50+ annotated score examples from real repertoire showing rule applications and exceptions
- Peer-review checklist template (Google Sheets + PDF) tied to the decision tree for consistent feedback
- And more, with full implementation detail...

Music composition students struggle to understand voice leading rules for parallel intervalsMusic theory students and composers are confused about whether parallel fourths and fifths are acceptable in two-part texture, as traditional rules are unclear and contradictory across different teaching methods. Current music education resources fail to provide definitive, practical guidance on this specific harmonic constraint, forcing students to waste time searching forums instead of practicing composition. This ambiguity delays their ability to write correct counterpoint and pass music theory assessments.
