Fundamentals of Music: Rudiments, Musicianship, and Composition (6th Edition)
"What is distinctive and a good feature of the text is the use of review sets, building skills and creative projects in a natural progression throughout each chapter. The use of color to call attention to special topics and exercises helps to keep a level of interest for the student." Robert Chamberlin, Webster University "It has a good number of exercises that can be assigned from the text without using supplementary materials. The new website with its interactive exercises is a great addition." Celinda Hallbauer, Central Texas College "It's a straightforward book on fundamentals that has additional information so that a student (whether part of a class or working independently) can learn basics about music and even start understanding tonality and song-writing." Rebecca Jemain, Ithaca College "The book is well written with detailed, easy to read explanations. It is user-friendly and contains examples from many musical styles." Matthew Schildt, Adams State College
