Music Theory Remixed: A Blended Approach for the Practicing Musician

by Kevin Holm-Hudson

Designed for today's undergraduate music students, Music Theory A Blended Approach for the Practicing Musician presents tonal music theory through a dual lens of works from the Western canon and examples from popular music, including rock, jazz, techno, film soundtracks, and world music. With exceptional clarity, it balances the study of traditional part-writing with the development of essential skills like score analysis and identification of historical style. Each chapter contains guided activities involving analysis, composition, and improvisation, offering a perfect blend of learned material and practical application.
