From the Publisher
Music theory is explained in an easy-to-understand way using a proven pedagogical method to increase students' comprehension and retention.
Examples from a variety of classical and popular music literature - now including more works by women and minority composers - expose students to a wide repertoire and help broaden their musical horizons.
A revised presentation of voice-leading now begins with two-part counterpoint to help students think melodically and to promote clearer understanding of part-writing.
New coverage of macroanalysis introduces students to innovative analytical tools, which can then be applied to the student's other musical studies.
