What began as a conversation between two colleagues about music theory textbooks has grown into a leading music theory and aural skills curriculum. Clendinning and Marvin set out to write a textbook that puts the student musician at the center, using clear prose and interesting, accessible music examples to show students how the theory they are learning can be applied to their performance and understanding of the music. A strong pedagogical framework throughout the courseware reinforces core concepts and provides lots of opportunities for students to build and practice their theory skills, while coordinated workbook, anthology, and aural skills volumes provide you with a complete, integrated curriculum for your students.Highlights of this edition’s new content:Analysis of World and Traditional MusicAnalysis of World and Traditional Music IInew Norton Illumine EbookThe anthology of complete scores—previously available as a print supplement—is now available digitally and included with access to the textbook courseware so all students can benefit from the complete scores.The two chapters on popular music theory and form—Chapter 32 on Popular Music, Jazz, and Blues and Chapter 33 on Recent Popular Music—have been revised and expanded with new examples and recent trends.even more works by historically marginalized composers with Total Access Jane Piper Clendinning is professor of music theory at the Florida State University College of Music.
