Do the second and third pages of the secondary dominant packet.
Process for understanding secondary dominants:
1. What are the notes?
2. What is the chord quality?
3. What is the likely function of that chord based on its quality and the key you are in (i.e. a major "two" chord is likely serving the function as a dominant chord (V), a diminished chord is likely functioning as a viio chord).
4. What is the harmonic analysis of the chord?

Warning: Triad and interval speed quizzes coming soon...

Do page 61 from the main packet.
Also do the first page (pg 143) of the secondary dominant packet.
