In this video, taken from Berklee Online’s Music Theory 301 course, you’re going to learn about Drop 2 voicing. Drop 2 voicing is a technique that is especially good for large ensembles, as it feels more open and allows for a smoother progression. The technique that Berklee Online instructor Paul Schmeiling uses in the video is replacing the “1 note” (not the root) of a chord with its 9th (or 2nd) and from there placing the 2nd note of the upper hand voicing down an octave. So for example, in a C major 7 chord you would replace the upper hand C with a D, while placing the E note an octave lower. So the chord would be voiced as: left hand (C-G) and right hand (D-E-B).
