• A new instructor's companion site will include "Guidelines for Instructors," an instructor's manual written by Allen Cadwallader.


• The text and musical examples have been thoroughly revised for increased clarity and accessibility.


• Clearer visual presentation, increased clarity and consistency of terminology and symbols, and more guidance in the exercises increase the text's effectiveness.

Additional Features

• "Points for Review" at the end of each unit (before the exercises) offer brief, consecutively numbered summations of the key concepts covered in that unit.


• Important points are summarized in boxes as needed throughout each unit to help students check the progress of their learning.


• Exercises included at the end of each unit have students undertake such creative assignments as writing short progressions of various types and harmonizing melodies with unfigured/figured bass lines.


• Each unit includes 10 to 40 musical examples--brief excerpts that illustrate the specific harmonic and voice-leading techniques discussed at that point. The musical examples are drawn primarily from masterpieces of concert repertoire, but a few abstract pieces composed by the authors are also included.
