The Musician's Guide To Aural Skills

The Musician's Guide To Aural Skills

<p><strong>This two-volume text covers diatonic, chromatic, and contemporary harmony, as well as voice leading, emphasizing practical performance skills by integrating theoretical principles with aural and keyboard skills through coordinated keyboard, sight-singing, dictation, improvisation, and composition exercises.</strong></p> The much-anticipated <em>Musician’s Guide</em> series offers a comprehensive four-semester introduction to the skills of complete musicianship, seamlessly integrating theory and analysis, aural training, and performance in one pedagogical program.<br /><br /><em>The Musician’s Guide</em> series is divided into two main components, each represented by a core text. While complete enough to be used alone, these dynamic texts are fully coordinated, sharing the same pedagogical approach and structure. Each book relies on a core repertoire of real music that is revisited throughout in a variety of theory- and performance-based contexts. These texts are complemented by a rich collection of learning resources.
