| Within the context of tonal music, any pitch that is not heard as a member of the prevailing harmony (chord) is considered a nonharmonic (nonchord) tone. The common nonharmonic tones are usually identified as belonging to one of eight categories. Each is labeled based on two criteria: How it is approached (the pitch that precedes it) How it is resolved (the pitch that follows it) Following is a table that indicates this criteria for each type of nonharmonic tone. |

| Note: A Neighbor Group is a variation of a simple Neighbor Tone. The NG is a lower neighbor (below the chord tone) and an upper neighbor (above the chord tone) in combination. The order of the upper and lower neighbors can vary. |
