For nearly two decades Tonal Harmony has been the leading text for the two-year theory curriculum for music majors. Used at nearly 800 schools, Tonal Harmony has been consistently praised for its practicality and ease of use for student and instructor alike. The straightforward approach is supported by well-chosen examples and thoughtful exercises, and the total presentation is compatible with differing teaching styles and theoretical points of view. In addition, a set outstanding ancillaries, which include a collection of audio examples on CD (for both the text and workbook) and an extensive Instructor's Manual, round out the comprehensive teaching package.

June 20, 2009: I used this book to prepare for a graduate level theory exam. It was a tremendous guide and help. The chapters are short and focused. The information was detailed and directed, and there were many purposeful practice examples at the end of each chapter. The best part about the practice, is that the answers are included in the back of the book. I bought the textbook and the workbook. However, for my purpose, I did not use the workbook. There aren't answers with the workbook.

May 03, 2004: Learning how to read the various clefs used in orchestral scores, all the different key signatures and the basic structure of the major scale is how this book begins. It is very well organized for the classroom as well as one-on-one theory lessons. Its introductory chapters on 20th c. techniques are more than many similar texts offer.
