Voice leading

Voice leading is a musical technique that focuses on the smooth and logical movement of individual musical lines, or "voices," from one chord to the next. It emphasizes how each note transitions to the next, aiming to create pleasing and coherent harmonies. Good voice leading minimizes abrupt changes and unnecessary leaps between notes, making the music easier to follow and more expressive. This concept is essential in composition and arrangement, helping to connect melodies and harmonies in a way that enhances the overall sound and emotional impact of a piece.
