Here are some interval identification exercises. As you can see, voice leading is impossibly difficult until you can identify any interval at lightning speed.

Open the Finale file. The chords in it are not properly voice led and form no directed progressions. I randomly wrote chords, which is the easy part. The hard part is for you:

Format: List compound intervals as simple intervals (for example, 3 instead of 10). Do not specify if an interval is major or minor, but always specify if it is augmented or diminished.

1. List out all the intervals between each upper voice and the bass. The first chord, for example, is 8 3 5.

2. List out all the intervals between soprano and tenor.
