Product Description A traditional music theory text for music majors in the required two-year long theory course. Based on the Shenkerian approach to music theory, Harmony and Voice Leading, Second Edition, provides a coherent point of view in teaching theory. Well chosen musical excerpts exemplify the theory under discussion, and all units have a generous quantity of exercises, more carefully graded in this edition to progress from easy to difficult. Workbooks provide additional drill and practice. The Second Edition features a one volume format so professors can more easily sequence their course when using the book. The workbooks continue in a two-volume format, each corresponding roughly to the first and second year of study. See all Editorial Reviews

SynopsisA comprehensive volume spanning the entire theory course, HARMONY AND VOICE LEADING begins with coverage of basic concepts of theory and harmony, and moves into coverage of advanced dissonance and chromaticism. It emphasizes the linear aspects of music as much as the harmonic, and introduces large-scale progressions--linear and harmonic--at an early stage. The first three Units of the book are designed to be taught sequentially, but instructors have the flexibility to teach the latter units in any combination and order they choose.

The Only Theory Textbook I Use
It was my honor and pleasure to teach music theory and related subjects alongside Carl Schachter, one of the authors of this text book, in the early 1990's at the Mannes College of Music in New York City. Carl is brilliant and the book is brilliant. As a student, I learned from the first edition. I now teach privately, and I find using this book, because it's widely available for just a few dollars, enables me to give my students something of the education I once received. The book is not, in my opinion, sufficient for a student to learn from on his or her own, but I don't think it was intended to be used that way. My approach is to teach my students something, then ask them to read the book - if they understand what they're reading, then I know they've grasped the material. The first 5 chapters constitute the fundamentals of music theory. They are material that should be mastered before moving on, and indeed, for many students, mastering those first chapters is all they want or need. These chapters, with their points for review and exercises, can be augmented with any of a variety of print and online sources for additional practice. The app Tenuto is one of my favorites. The remainder of the book proceeds organically, addressing the I, V, and V7 chords only in Chapter 6 and covering _everything_ one could and should know about using those chords in music. And from there, the book continues by introducing a similarly small number of chords in each chapter, adding gradually and thoroughly to the student's musical vocabulary.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
