From the publisher. For nearly two decades Tonal Harmony has been the leading text for the two-year theory curriculum for music majors.

The straightforward approach is supported by well-chosen examples and thoughtful exercises, and the total presentation is compatible with differing teaching styles and theoretical points of view.
