Revisiting Music Theory: Basic Principles

Revisiting Music Theory, Second Edition, surveys the basics of music theory and explains the terms used in harmonic and formal analysis. Students who need to refresh their knowledge of theory will find Revisiting Music Theory to be a valuable resource for review or reference in their graduate work or further study of music theory. Instructors teaching the introductory course can provide a solid foundation for musical thinking by supplementing it with their own teaching styles. Musicians, both amateur and professional, can use it to augment and inform their knowledge of the art and its processes. This revision includes new section on ＂Extended Tonality and/or Atonality,＂ and ＂Tuning and Temperament＂ will be expanded. A workbook of exercises is being added to the back of the book.
