Highlights
Programmed Format
A self-learning format ensures the most accurate and clear presentation of material, accommodating students with different skills and encouraging them to apply each new concept to a variety of musical situations. Scales, Intervals, Keys, Triads, Rhythm and Meter is perfect as an assigned text or as a supplement.
Excerpts from Music Literature
At the end of each set, music examples drawn from the standard repertory help students understand particular theoretical concepts in the context of actual musical practice. A short anthology of complete pieces—featured in a new appendix—can be used to study how individual concepts are interwoven into the fabric of a composition.
Smart Design
A new page design clearly identifies sections, and visually striking pedagogical aids—including shaded boxes and summary points—highlight essential information. The appealing layout is equally accessible to those working through the entire book in sequence and to those focusing on particular topics.
Appendices
New to this edition, appendices feature an anthology of ten study pieces from music literature, a newly written glossary assembled expressly for this text, explicit instructions for associating keys and key signatures, a cumulative test accompanied by answers, and an index of music examples that appear in the book.
Compact Disc
A new CD includes aural examples of the basic musical concepts covered in the book, as well as of all the music literature excerpts in the text.
