Consecutive fifths by contrary motion
Consecutive fifths by contrary motion are very similar to parallel fifths. The only difference is that instead of the notes moving together while forming two fifths in a row, the notes move in opposite directions.
1. (Same as first step for parallel fifths/octaves) (Optional) The first thing I usually do is LABEL EVERY PITCH on the paper (As A,B,C,D,etc.) This method may not appeal to everyone because it is a bit taxing, but it is a way to be very accurate and makes finding fifths especially easier to find.
2. LOOK FOR CONTRARY MOTION. Unlike how parallel fifths move together, consecutive fifths by contrary motion must move in contrary motion so in opposite directions. Looking only at notes that move this way will help you find these faster.
3. If you find a chord that meets these qualifications, check for FIFTHS IN A ROW. For there to be a fifth by contrary motion, it can't just be a fifth, you have to be sure there are two fifths in a row and they have to move in opposite directions.
