Product Description
For nearly two decades Tonal Harmony has been the leading text for the two-year theory curriculum for music majors. Used at nearly 800 schools, Tonal Harmony 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. In addition, a set outstanding ancillaries, which include a collection of audio examples on CD (for both the text and workbook) and an extensive Instructor's Manual, round out the comprehensive teaching package.

 Advanced College Music Theory Book. September 13, 2008

I had to use this in college for my music theory I,II and III classes. It is very in depth and requires extensive study. This is definately not for the faint hearted musician. This new version is much better than the one I had because it has CD's for fast access to the music examples. The older additions came with tape cassettes. Also this new book includes CD Roms for computer learning. The book includeds much information. It is a text book and is not meant to be used as a self-learning tool. I would reccomend this only if you are in college and need it for your music theory classes.

This is definitely the best book on tonal harmony, simple and complete. Gives you all informations you need step by step. Sometimes it states "forget about this for now": well, it isn't really an issue because two or three pages after it explains what had left out before, but with more theory already explained at that stage. There're a lot of examples within the text and many tests to see if you've understood the theory.
You don't ever need a teacher to understand the concepts explained in this book: you really need one only if you're learning to play an instrument, not to understand chord functions, inversions, and cadences. This book teaches harmony, not piano or guitar solos.

It is an amazing book for the world of Music Theory. It has a lot of exercises for you to apply the knowledge learned and enables you to check your answer to see if it is correct or not.

I ordered this textbook in a hurry, and was disappointed to realize that it could take so long to arrive-after my class using this book would start. However, I received it a week before my class started, and the book is in such good condition it amazed me. I wasn't expecting much but I was just utterly surprised by this! This textbook had such few markings, and the actual few ones that were penciled in were actually helpful for reference. I would definitely order again from this seller! ^^

Product was in great condition and delivery was on time. This book emphasizes the fundamentals of music in a very orderly manner. Great book for a beginning music theory class.
