Hi Matt, thanks a lot for correcting me!!! Sorry about the poor chord-progressions, I've concentrated on making suspensions first (extra sorry about my G minor 4-3 which is really a shame).

So I should always write suspensions 9 and 7 as 9/3 and 7/3, and 4 as 5/4 (without the 3rd) and the root must always present. I will keep that it mind.
6/4 chords are bad so I will not use them except the 3 cases you've mentioned. By the way, in the B flat major excercise I'm using ii6/4 (the 4th is prepared) which is not corrected by you. That means it's good?

I'm attaching the 2-part counterpoint homework. The A minor one was very difficult, because the 2nd bar of the excercise (bar 7 really) seems to start with a V7 so the 2nd note (D) cannot act as a preparation since it is the 7th of the chord, which is dissonant: placing the root (E) in the bass forms a 7th, placing the 3rd (G#) in the bass forms a diminished 5th with it. So I failed to make a suspension in this excercise.

I've tried to write implied harmonies below the notes on strong beats (except at suspensions), but I'm not sure they are good.

Waiting for the next lesson, I hope it comes soon!
