A Creative Approach to Music Fundamentals (with CD-ROM and Keyboard Booklet)
This textbook approaches the subject matter by weaving into and through the fundamentals of music in an organic fashion, introducing topics the way one might do in explaining music verbally. I like the way William Duckworth talks directly to the student in a conversational tone throughout the text.The Focus on Fundamentals CD-ROM allows students to work at their own pace, providing reinforcement of basic concepts for those students who need it and an opportunity for enrichment for those students who grasp the basic material more quickly.The information is interestingly presented. Mr. Duckworth's obvious knowledge of today's popular culture would be appealing to many students.
