Reviews
A very good introduction to the fundamentals of aural and written theory for non-majors. * Somangshu Mukerji, University of Michigan * Elements of Music is very concise in its explanations, has plenty of possible activities to do in class, and includes good exercises for homeworkassignments. It also has musical examples to demonstrate every topic, and is organized in a way that makes sense for the progression of music theory fundamentals. * Stephen Komer, Indiana University * This is my favorite fundamentals text I've encountered. It's clear, well-ordered, and comprehensive. It has a ton of in-class exercises, which makes lesson planning a breeze. * Marcelle Pierson, University of Pittsburgh *
