Summary

For one-semester, freshman-level courses in Basic Musicianship, Music Fundamentals, or Music Foundations. Also for a graduate course in theory review. This classic, self-paced, auto-instructional introduction to music fundamentals allows students to work independently through a programed format, allowing instructors to 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.
