...Music Notation
Author: Gardner Read | Review: | I have used this book since I first read it in music school 20 years ago. Descriptions are clear and concise without subjective judgement about the instruments and musical trends (unlike Walter Piston). Good examples and coverage for all instrument groups and most ensembles. The instrument range examples for different grade levels is indespensible for anyone writing for younger players.

Author: Leo Kraft | Book Description | Now in its second edition, A New Approach to Ear Training provides students with the means to master ear-training skills on their own and at their own pace. Organized into four large sections of crefully graded exercises that correspond to the progression of material in most theory courses, A New Approach to Ear Training offers instructors remarkable flexibility, enabling them to use the book as an assigned text or as a supplement for students to work through on their own. The text truly heralds a new approach to teaching ear training and aural skills.

....Norton Manual of Music Notation
Author: George Heussenstamm | From the Author | .This book is essential for all composers and arrangers. My book covers all essential aspects of traditional music notation. My experience as a teacher of music theory at the college level has shown that students of composition are very weak in their knowledge of the rights and wrongs of music notation. My book serves to correct this fault in a clear and concise manner. Even for those composers who produce musical scores on a computer program, they must have a clear grasp of notational principles, since the computer does not know all of the rules. A score that is correct in every way in terms of notation is extremely important if you expect to receive performance. -- George HeussenstammFundamentals of Music, Fourth Edition | Author: Earl Henry | Book Description | .Together with the compact disc, Fundamentals of Music, Third Edition, is a package of clear, informal prose, high-quality recorded examples, and varied and abundant drill. The (recorded) ear-training drills and keyboard studies, together with a variety of sight—singing excerpts will provide ample material. The book is reader centered with frequent suggestions for study and learning, self-tests with answers, supplementary drill exercises, and step-by-step procedures. The drill and explanatory musical examples include popular music from big- band standards to rock. Includes music by women composers— this feature separates Fundamentals of Music, 3/e, from most other books of its kind. In addition, frequent references to other world musics show the author's commitment to diversity. The book includes a detachable, fold-out keyboard diagram to aid in scale and interval study. For those interested in learning to play/read music or to simply gain a greater appreciation of it.... Music for Sight Singing
(Spiral-bound) | by Robert W. Ottman | Featuring over one thousand melodies and exercises, each chapter presents a new problem in either rhythm or melody, allowing students to study one problem at a time—but giving them experience in performing both rhythmic and melodic patterns. In addition, the following revisions have been carefully incorporated to enhance t lie overall presentation: * More easy melodic examples in the earlier chapters. * Expanded chapter on "Modulation to the Dominant." Singing range of many melodies lowered in order to avoid high notes. * Difficult key signatures found at the end of earlier chapters, as a separate presentation. * More instructional materials. * More suggestions for alternative presentations of sight singing materials....
A New Approach to Sight Singing | Author: Sol Berkowitz | A time-tested classroom performer! In this text the authors place sight singing in the context of musicianship as a whole, offering readers a coordinated body of carefully graded melodies, duets, and short pieces for voice and piano while reinforcing their comprehension of tonal and post-tonal harmony. The flexible structure of this new Fourth Edition and the wealth of material it contains combine to make the book completely adaptable to the individual needs of today's developing musicians. A brand new chapter contains over 150 melodies from the standard classical and folk repertories, providing a transition from sight-singing exercises to the literature students will encounter throughout their careers in music...

...Elementary Training for Musicians
Author: Paul Hindemith | Paul Hindemith was one of the 20th Century's preeminent composers, and was also known as a superb teacher. This book is not a textbook on harmony or composition. Rather, it is a collection of exercises intended to develop basic musicianship skills, including note-reading, and rhythmic and melodic sight-singing and dictation. The exercises start off deceptively simple and increase rapidly in difficulty. For example, a typical rhythmic exercise might have two separate rhythmic lines to be performed by each hand tapping, or by singing one of the lines and clapping or tapping the other. Melodic exercises are often accompanied by a contrasting rhythm line. Exercises are presented in alto and tenor clefs as well as the more usual bass and treble. Determination is the key to success with this book. Many of the exercises must be practiced assiduously--slowly at first, then faster as skill improves. Anyone who completes at least half the book will have improved his or her musicianship level significantly.Foundations of Music and Musicianship
Author: David A. Damschroder | If your students have never played a musical instrument . . . if musical terms such as pitch and chord are unfamiliar to them . . . or if they simply need a refresher on the fundamentals of music . . . this book will help students unleash their musical talent. With David Damschroder's expert guidance, they?ll learn the fundamental concepts of music theory not as a spectator, but as an active participant. With the many activities in this book--and the accompanying CD-ROM enclosed free with every new copy of this text--they?ll soon be reading and making music from written notation. In Part One, the author explains intervals, scales, and triads. In Part Two, he expands the discussion to include chords and chord progressions. To give you greater flexibility in planning your course, this Second Edition now includes optional Enhancement sections that offer such additional pitch topics as chromaticism, transposition, and harmonizing melodies. Depending on the length and organization of the course, you may assign these optional sections, or your students may opt to complete them on their own.Music Ace Deluxe

...Source Book of Proposed Music Notation Reforms
Author: Gardner Read | Review: | “Read has produced a compendium that `lists, describes, and critically analyzes' 391 of these mostly now-forgotten notational systems, including alphabetical and numerical notation, stenographic systems, and various types of staff, clef, pitch, register, and durational reforms.... The author has not simply produced a compendium; he has digested an enormous quantity of abstruse material and has drawn together historical lines of development.... It is Read's comments that make this esoteric book so valuable. Although it is not a history of notational reforms, this `compendium of roads not taken' will be essential to anyone writing that history.”–Cum Notis VarcorumFoundations of Diatonic Theory
