Mastering Music Fundamentals: A Guided Step by Step Approach (with CD-ROM)
"This text could serve to increase student enjoyment, and promote friendly interaction with the instructor largely because students can move at their own pace.  Students can go through this material 'step by step' on their own.  This approach promotes student ownership of the material, and reduces the need for the instructor to spend the class time 'lecturing.'"The handiness of (the Review of Chapter) principles, along with their clarity is great. It made me wish my college text so many years ago had been that convenient. It's like having that screwdriver in the kitchen drawer, as well as in the garage - handy!""The text is extremely well-written and accurate with regard to tonal theory. The guided step by-step procedures for spelling and identifying music structures are excellent."
