This programmed version of a classic introduction to the basic essentials of music shows the relationship between theory and “real” music.

This edition makes liberal use of examples from music of recognized composers and from familiar folk-song sources to illustrate technical information. A book designed specifically for beginners in music theory, or those with varying backgrounds in music.
