Publisher's Synopsis
For courses in Music Fundamentals.
Immersed in musical literature, and written by a leader in the field of music theory, this text covers all of the basic topics: music notation; rhythm; scales; intervals; triads; and basic harmonic progressions. It engages students in the process of making music-emphasizing, at every stage, that music is to be heard and made-not merely seen and learned as theoretical concepts in the abstract.
