Feature Summary
Two-Volume Format: The two volumes provide a complete basis for the study of music theory. Each spiral-bound volume maintains an outline that ensures conciseness, efficiency, and ease in locating specific topics.
Thorough and Comprehensive Coverage: Music in Theory and Practice includes a thorough study of the fundamentals of music and the structural elements of melody, rhythm, and texture. In this way, the authors hope to present a more balanced view of the structure of music, rather than concentrating exclusively on harmony and voice leading.
Historical perspective: Each chapter includes a short section labeled "History" which relates the top at hand to the history of music. A brief overview of music history and its relation to European and American history is included in appendix D.
Integrated teaching and learning package: This textbook is a part of a carefully integrated package. An instructor's manual accompanies each volume. It offers helpful hints in presenting class material, answers to objective text assignments, and comprehensive examinations. Two workbook/anthologies for students and solutions manuals for those workbook/anthologies are also available.
