Harmony Notes Book 1 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781800795563)

Harmony Notes Book 1 offers a fresh engaging approach to the study of four-part vocal harmony. The presentation of material is clear, uncomplicated, and follows a carefully graded sequence.

Each topic is supported by worked examples incorporating detailed explanations of good practice. Each stage is underpinned by recordings of the material, fostering a musical understanding and encouraging a holistic approach - emphasising the necessary link between sound and symbol. To this end, tonic solfa is used extensively throughout the text as an effective tool to navigate the sound.

Exercises are built into each chapter at strategic points to assist with the learning, absorption and application of the topic at hand. The exercises move from easy to more challenging as the chapters progress.

'Lightbulb' moments flag essential grammatical points, while 'checklist boxes' summarise important features providing a useful revision tool.

Although Harmony Notes deals primarily with vocal writing, the scope of the book expands at three points to embrace simple analysis looking at the application of the harmony in the context of piano music and string quartet.
