Essentials of Music Theory—Andrew Surmani,
Karen Farnum Surmani & Morton Manus. A
revolutionary approach to music theory! This
state-of-the-art series of books and recordings is
carefully designed to make theory easier to learn
and teach. It really works! One of the many features
that sets this method apart is its emphasis on ear
training to help students grasp the traditional theory
concepts. Each unit has an ear training page, so
students can hear what they have just learned
(the teacher can either use the recordings on CD
or play the examples on the keyboard.) Treble and
bass clefs are used alternately in the examples,
and well-known music is used to reinforce the
lessons, including 24 classical excerpts and 38 folk
songs from 14 different countries! This remarkable
course covers all of the basics, including blues
scales and chord progressions, modes, solfege
and transposition, while crossword puzzles, word
searches, note naming, and dynamics recognition
games help to make learning fun! And the ear-
training CDs use acoustic instruments, such
as flute, clarinet, alto sax, trumpet, trombone,
violin, and cello, in addition to piano, rather than
synthesizer or piano only. Now's the time to
bring your classes up to date with the freshest,
most user-friendly theory method available! Your
students will be glad you did!
