b'This question was sent by May, who our Total Organist student. And she writes:\\n \\nHi Vidas! Thank you for sending the Week 5 material of Harmony for Organists Level 1. My keyboard harmony is weak and I am still struggling with the harmonic progression from week 3, running behind. It takes a long time going through each of the six \\u2013 tonic to dominant, dominant to tonic, tonic to subdominant, subdominant to tonic \\u2013 the six closed and open chord forms in only the major and minor scales with one sharp or less, not including the one flat scales. I started practicing these harmonic progressions are Wednesday. I\\u2019m playing better than two days ago, but still have to pause and think, for example, which is the common note, and also going up or down. I don\\u2019t have time to write down the chords before I practice. It is also much difficult to play all four notes by hands only. My question is, how good should I be with three harmonic progression exercises before I proceed with four? Thanks! ~May'
