Taking a keyboard-oriented approach  it focuses on the basics-musical notation of rhythm and pitch  major and minor scales  key signatures  intervals  triads  and seventh chords-providing the necessary background for more advanced study in music theory. In addition to lessons in pitch notation and tonal materials  the book also covers the basics of rhythm and meter through separate lessons and performance exercises that reinforce rhythm reading. While rooted in a repertory of Western art music-with excerpts from great works by composers ranging from Bach to Bernstein-the text also encourages students to explore other works  and other musical traditions  with lists of suggested further listening at the end of each lesson.  Distinctive Features  \"HELP\" boxes provide information that is essential to understanding and completing the written exercises that appear at the end of each lesson  \"CREATE!\" sections present suggestions for exploring central concepts in imaginative ways  including improvisation and model composition  Marginal icons direct students to streaming audio recordings on the books website (www.oup.com\/us\/lambert)  underscoring how listening helps them understand musical concepts  Instructors: Help your students practice and master basic music theory skills with Oxfords online Music Theory Skill Builder.
