 Practical
Beginning Theory: A Fundamentals Worktext
by Bruce Jackson, Bruce Benward, Barbara Garvey Jackson, Barbara
Seagrave Jackson
The phrase
‘practical theory' may seem to be a contradiction, but it is a
term that Practical Beginning Theory has, since it's first edition
in 1963, sought to embody by providing a comprehensive introduction
to basic level theory that can be used in any teaching situation,
even if other resource materials are limited or unavailable.
In the new
edition, the text continues its mission to be an all-in-one coursebook
for music fundamentals. A third author has been added to revise
and update the exercises in popular music and to integrate new
electronic supplements into the text. A new chapter has been added
to address jazz, pop, and blues and a CD of ear-training examples
is now included with each copy of the book. The software package
of the prior edition has been coordinated to the new CD and mounted
to the Internet and exercises throughout the text have been revised
to further emphasize real music instead of artificial textbook
examples...(Amazon.com)
