Fundamentals of Music: Rudiments, Musicianship and Composition helps you understand the practices and conventions that make Western music sound the way it does. Building on the work of original author Earl Henry, Jennifer Snodgrass and Susan Piagentini enable you to practice your performance and analytical skills in the context of complete compositions. The text explores notation and performance through composition projects, listening exercises and analysis of various styles and genres.
The 7th Edition incorporates expanded aural skill-building methods and exercises. Significant updates in musical examples throughout the text include the addition of popular music and works for large ensemble.
