Its approach is \"additive\" -- enabling students to use what was learned in one chapter to understand material in the next -- to minimize rote memorization, since students repeatedly use the concepts throughout the semester. The text begins with an overview of music fundamentals; the middle addresses the use of harmony in common practice; and the concluding section offers a basic glimpse of the harmonic practices of the 20th century. The authors intentionally avoid elaborate descriptions of their conceptual framework and refrain from specifying instructional methods, thereby allowing instructors a wide spectrum of teaching approaches in the classroom. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eNOTE: \u003c\/b\u003eThis ISBN is for a \u003cb\u003ePearson Books a la Carte edition\u003c\/b\u003e: a convenient, three-hole-punched, loose-leaf text.
