| Music
Notation |
| Author:
Gardner Read | Review: |
I have used this book since I first read it in music school 20 years ago.
Descriptions are clear and concise without subjective judgement about the
instruments and musical trends (unlike Walter Piston). Good examples and
coverage for all instrument groups and most ensembles. The instrument range
examples for different grade levels is indespensible for anyone writing
for younger players. |

| A
New Approach to Ear Training |
| Author:
Leo Kraft | Book Description | Now in its
second edition, A New Approach to Ear Training provides students with the
means to master ear-training skills on their own and at their own pace.
Organized into four large sections of crefully graded exercises that correspond
to the progression of material in most theory courses, A New Approach to
Ear Training offers instructors remarkable flexibility, enabling them to
use the book as an assigned text or as a supplement for students to work
through on their own. The text truly heralds a new approach to teaching
ear training and aural skills. |

Manual of Music Notation |
| Author:
George Heussenstamm | From the Author | .This book
is essential for all composers and arrangers. My book covers all essential
aspects of traditional music notation. My experience as a teacher of music
theory at the college level has shown that students of composition are
very weak in their knowledge of the rights and wrongs of music notation.
My book serves to correct this fault in a clear and concise manner. Even
for those composers who produce musical scores on a computer program, they
must have a clear grasp of notational principles, since the computer does
not know all of the rules. A score that is correct in every way in terms
of notation is extremely important if you expect to receive performance.
-- George Heussenstamm |

| Fundamentals
of Music, Fourth Edition |
| Author:
Earl Henry | Book Description | .Together with the compact
disc, Fundamentals of Music, Third Edition, is a package of clear, informal
prose, high-quality recorded examples, and varied and abundant drill. The
(recorded) ear-training drills and keyboard studies, together with a variety
of sight—singing excerpts will provide ample material. The book is reader
centered with frequent suggestions for study and learning, self-tests with
answers, supplementary drill exercises, and step-by-step procedures. The
drill and explanatory musical examples include popular music from big-
band standards to rock. Includes music by women composers— this feature
separates Fundamentals of Music, 3/e, from most other books of its kind.
In addition, frequent references to other world musics show the author's
commitment to diversity. The book includes a detachable, fold-out keyboard
diagram to aid in scale and interval study. For those interested in learning
to play/read music or to simply gain a greater appreciation of it.... |

| Music
for Sight Singing |
| (Spiral-bound)
| by Robert W. Ottman | Featuring
over one thousand melodies and exercises, each chapter presents a new problem
in either rhythm or melody, allowing students to study one problem at a
time—but giving them experience in performing both rhythmic and melodic
patterns. In addition, the following revisions have been carefully incorporated
to enhance t lie overall presentation: * More easy melodic examples
in the earlier chapters. * Expanded chapter on "Modulation to the
Dominant." Singing range of many melodies lowered in order to avoid
high notes. * Difficult key signatures found at the end of earlier
chapters, as a separate presentation. * More instructional materials.
* More suggestions for alternative presentations of sight singing materials.... |

| A
New Approach to Sight Singing |
| Author:
Sol Berkowitz | A time-tested classroom performer! In this
text the authors place sight singing in the context of musicianship as
a whole, offering readers a coordinated body of carefully graded melodies,
duets, and short pieces for voice and piano while reinforcing their comprehension
of tonal and post-tonal harmony. The flexible structure of this new Fourth
Edition and the wealth of material it contains combine to make the book
completely adaptable to the individual needs of today's developing musicians.
A brand new chapter contains over 150 melodies from the standard classical
and folk repertories, providing a transition from sight-singing exercises
to the literature students will encounter throughout their careers in music... |

| Elementary
Training for Musicians |
| Author:
Paul Hindemith | Paul Hindemith was one of the 20th Century's
preeminent composers, and was also known as a superb teacher. This book
is not a textbook on harmony or composition. Rather, it is a collection
of exercises intended to develop basic musicianship skills, including note-reading,
and rhythmic and melodic sight-singing and dictation. The exercises start
off deceptively simple and increase rapidly in difficulty. For example,
a typical rhythmic exercise might have two separate rhythmic lines to be
performed by each hand tapping, or by singing one of the lines and clapping
or tapping the other. Melodic exercises are often accompanied by a contrasting
rhythm line. Exercises are presented in alto and tenor clefs as well as
the more usual bass and treble. Determination is the key to success with
this book. Many of the exercises must be practiced assiduously--slowly
at first, then faster as skill improves. Anyone who completes at least
half the book will have improved his or her musicianship level significantly. |

| Foundations
of Music and Musicianship |
| Author:
David A. Damschroder | If your students
have never played a musical instrument . . . if musical terms such as pitch
and chord are unfamiliar to them . . . or if they simply need a refresher
on the fundamentals of music . . . this book will help students unleash
their musical talent. With David Damschroder's expert guidance, they?ll
learn the fundamental concepts of music theory not as a spectator, but
as an active participant. With the many activities in this book--and the
accompanying CD-ROM enclosed free with every new copy of this text--they?ll
soon be reading and making music from written notation. In Part One, the
author explains intervals, scales, and triads. In Part Two, he expands
the discussion to include chords and chord progressions. To give you greater
flexibility in planning your course, this Second Edition now includes optional
Enhancement sections that offer such additional pitch topics as chromaticism,
transposition, and harmonizing melodies. Depending on the length and organization
of the course, you may assign these optional sections, or your students
may opt to complete them on their own. |

Book of Proposed Music Notation Reforms |
| Author:
Gardner Read | Review: | “Read has produced a compendium
that `lists, describes, and critically analyzes' 391 of these mostly now-forgotten
notational systems, including alphabetical and numerical notation, stenographic
systems, and various types of staff, clef, pitch, register, and durational
reforms.... The author has not simply produced a compendium; he has digested
an enormous quantity of abstruse material and has drawn together historical
lines of development.... It is Read's comments that make this esoteric
book so valuable. Although it is not a history of notational reforms, this
`compendium of roads not taken' will be essential to anyone writing that
history.”–Cum Notis Varcorum |
