Chorale worksheets
These worksheets each contain a complete chorale. You will need to use a wide variety of fingerprints and there will be some cadences that do not fit standard fingerprints. If in doubt, just go for perfect or imperfect cadences in root position. Be sure to follow the method carefully. Chorale worksheets 4-9 are courtesy of Chris Banks.
