A guidebook to the most important things your students need to know

Successfully used by thousands of students at hundreds of schools, Concise Introduction to Tonal Harmony represents a tested, concise approach to the tonal harmony textbook. The text introduces all the topics typically covered in the undergraduate theory sequence—fundamentals, diatonic and chromatic harmony, form, and post-tonal theory—but the focus is on carefully annotated notated musical examples rather than lengthy prose explanations of rules and exceptions, and engaging online tools help students build skills. This is a text your students will be able to read and comprehend, freeing up class time for enriching discussions and activities.
