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. Burstein and Straus—both experienced classroom teachers—illustrate concepts using a repertoire of music from a diverse range of composers in the Western tradition. The Third Edition increases the diversity of the selections with new pieces by J. Rosamond Johnson, Eva Jessye, Tania Léon, and more historically marginalized composers. Additionally, you can more easily incorporate jazz and popular music into your course with new teaching resources and worksheets on jazz and popular music topics.
