Position:Home>Performing Arts> How do we apply secondary applied dominants in a piece of music? How is it used?

Question:Obviously, you know your musical theory. A secondary dominant is often directly followed by the chord of which it is the dominant. Ex. V/Vi....would be Vi......V/IV would be IV etc...

With this in mind, secondary dominant can also be any Dominant chord (major-minor 7th chord) which occurs on a weak beat and resolves downward by a perfect 5th. This is often used in jazz.
