  • Frequent use of diatonic ii-V-I progressions in C major, providing clear resolutions.
  • Application of secondary dominants (A7b9, A7) to briefly tonicize the Dm7 (ii chord), creating V/ii movements.
  • Inverted dominant (G6/B) enhances voice leading into the C major tonic.
  • The progression F6 - Dm7 - Em7 - A7b9 showcases diatonic movement before a V/ii tension.

Improvisation Focus: C Major scale (Ionian) and its associated modes for ii-V-I progressions, particularly Mixolydian for dominant chords.

Difficulty Rating: 3 (Intermediate) - Primarily diatonic harmony with straightforward secondary dominants, making it accessible but offering room for modal exploration.
