Harmony and Composition: Basics to Intermediate is designed to be the most user-friendly music theory textbook available to date, and is ideal for those working without a teacher. Its detailed harmonic analysis of the literature of the common practice period and beyond makes it equally suitable in a college/conservatory milieu at the freshman and sophomore levels. This approach is thorough in its coverage of the fundamentals through the chorale writing requirements of the high school AP music theory curriculum, and is visually clear and fully comprehensible at the pre-college level. Level One is a one-semester level that identifies the fundamental building blocks of Western tonal music.
Level Two is a one-semester level that covers the scales, intervals, and chords with a variety of drills and exercises that will help students master these elements and prepare for the study of harmony. Level Three develops those writing techniques most frequently used in Western music by building upon elements covered in the previous levels. The material presented in Level Three is best acquired over two semesters. While the length of time may vary according to students' prior training or in a curriculum of an accelerated nature, all students will benefit the most from their studies if they are given sufficient time to properly integrate each new element.
