leading in a perfect cadence. For ease of playing, this outline uses the incomplete V7 with the 5th of
the chord omitted.

provided, over the chords to be played. On the harmony exam for this level, these chords are called
root/quality symbols. A full summary of these symbols is provided on my site or in the current
theory syllabus.
