For courses in Music Theory, Harmony, Comprehensive Musicianship, and Materials of Music.

Created for introductory courses in basic music theory and harmonic practice, this self-paced, auto-instructional text in two volumes has become a “classic” in the field. Since the students work independently through the programmed format of the text, instructors can concentrate on the more creative aspects of their course. From the wealth of clearly laid-out lessons and exercises, students receive continual feedback and reinforcement as they work through the sequence at their own pace. Also, a set of musical examples on compact discs accompanies the volumes, providing students with aural experience of tonal and harmonic material used in the text. Neither books nor CDs can be ordered alone. See below for ordering code.

Provide students with a solid foundation in music theory and harmonic practice:

• Chapter summaries provide succinct encapsulations of key concepts in each chapter and give students the opportunity to review them before moving on.
• “An Important Perspective for the Study of Harmony” prefaces text and gives a solid explanation and rationale for the study of harmony, and gives students a useful overview of the subject.
• Mastery frames, a glossary of terms, and a bibliography make the text completely self-instructional, freeing instructors to use their class time in more creative ways.
• “Mastery Frames” evaluates students’ mastery of material and ability to move on to the next chapter.

Give students an opportunity to learn through listen and practice:

• New online assessment tool titled MyMusicTheoryKit.
• Compact Disc recording of in-text musical examples bring the material to life, and allows students to develop their ear for tonal harmony.
• Coverage of piano styles promotes creative work among students.

Created for introductory courses in basic music theory and harmonic practice, Part 2 of this self-paced, auto-instructional standalone text that comes in two volumes has become a “classic” in the field. Since the students work independently through the programmed format of the text, instructors can concentrate on the more creative aspects of their course. From the wealth of clearly laid-out lessons and exercises, students receive continual feedback and reinforcement as they work through the sequence at their own pace.
