Fundamentals of Music provides a clear and comprehensive approach to mastering the language of music. The authors invite students to create composition projects, develop aural skills through listening exercises, and analyze musical examples from various styles and genres.

With two new authors, this text has been thoroughly revised and expanded, yet maintains the intent of its original author Earl Henry. 

A better teaching and learning experience

This program will provide a better teaching and learning experience— for you and your students. Here’s how:

• Improve Critical Thinking — Each of the 13 chapters divide into five main areas allowing students to learn terms and symbols and expand their listening skills. Exercises encourage students to apply concepts to a piece of music at the conclusion of each chapter. 
•  Engage Students — Each chapter concludes with a number of creative exercises and projects allowing students to learn interactively. With the audio CD, students can polish their aural skills using the drills designed specifically to accompany the text.
• Support Instructors — A full Instructor’s Manual is available for this text. Additional assessment is made available through Exposition Music.
