Excellent and concise explanation. Of course, students could also practice the same exercise starting with the other two dispositions of the tonic chord, with the third on top or with the fifth on top, thus playing through the circle of fifths three times all in all.

Excellent daily exercice more than cadence , playing scale first, chords ( including 7th.) and initiation
to circle of fifths.
At 2:50 -51 shouldn’t it be C first inversion instead of root position? Good work combination Thankfully NBG
