Summary

This unique book utilizes programmed instruction to help students gain mastery of some concepts and techniques related to late nineteenth and early twentieth century harmony. Programmed instruction provides immediate feedback which speeds the learning process and prevents missed points and wrong ideas from causing serious trouble. Readers receive continual feedback and reinforcement as they work at their own pace. A Discography in an Appendix provides musical examples of issues in the book. This book is divided into three sections: Part 1 is Melodic Tonality; Part 2 is Harmonic Tonality; and Part 3 is The Evolution of Harmonic Tonality. For anyone interested in Music Theory and History.
