Harmonic Materials in Tonal Music: A Programmed Course, Part 2 / Edition 10

by Greg Steinke

Overview

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.

Editorial Reviews

Presents conceptual information and drills to develop techniques for understanding and working with tonal harmony, both in composition and in performance. Information is presented in a series of small, discrete "frames," which can be studied progressively and graded individually. Discusses structure of tonality, triads in root position and in first and second inversions, seventh chords and the dominant seventh, phrase structure and cadences, nonharmonic tones, harmonic progression, and technique of harmonization. Includes a cassette with examples. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
