Abstract For nearly two decades this book has been the leading text for the two-year theory curriculum for music majors. Used at nearly 800 schools, this book has been consistently praised for its practicality and ease of use for student and instructor alike. The straightforward approach is supported by well-chosen examples and thoughtful exercises, and the total presentation is compatible with differing teaching styles and theoretical points of view.
