NOTE: This ISBN is for a Pearson Books a la Carte edition: a convenient, three-hole-punched, loose-leaf text. In addition to the flexibility offered by this format, Books a la Carte editions offer students great value, as they cost significantly less than a bound textbook.

For one-semester, freshman-level courses in Basic Musicianship, Music Fundamentals, or Music Foundations; and for graduate courses in theory review.

Core knowledge essential for those interested in pursuing the serious study of music

Basic Materials in Music Theory , 13th Edition, is an auto-instructional introduction to music fundamentals that lets readers work independently and at their own pace. Through a programmed format proven to be efficient and effective, readers can master the materials quickly and thoroughly.

This edition contains a wealth of lessons and exercises for readers, including new sample recordings to assist with ear training, and has been revised to increase overall clarity and reflect current trends.
