Summary

This comprehensive sight singing and ear training package is the culmination of the author's extensive research in the field of aural skills. Divided into short, seqentially organised chapters, this textbook explains how to hear and understand the basic concepts of music. The material is presented in the order in which aural skills are actually learned and each topic is supported with highly focused ear training and sight singing exercises. Also available is a set of recordings and an instructor's CD-ROM.
