Music Theory I introduces all the necessary topics and practice opportunities that lay down a solid foundation of written and aural skills for first-year students.
A carefully designed but flexible learning sequence allows students to progress at their own pace through clear, approachable explanations, scores from multiple historical periods, and hundreds of relevant music, video, graphics, and interactive animations. Along the way, they can monitor their own progress through self-evaluation exercises.
