Is it a deceptive cadence?
What to do
Decide whether the dominant resolves deceptively to vi.
- Step 1Listen to the 6-chord sequence in C major and focus on the chord that follows the dominant (V).
- Step 2Decide whether it is a deceptive cadence: the dominant (V) resolves deceptively to the sixth degree (vi) instead of the tonic (I).
- Step 3Answer Yes or No and repeat until you reliably tell V → vi from V → I.
