This best-selling text gives music majors and minors a solid foundation in the theory of music. It strengthens their musical intuition, builds technical skills, and helps them gain interpretive insights. The goal of the text is to instruct readers on the practical application of knowledge. The analytical techniques presented are carefully designed to be clear, uncomplicated, and readily applicable to any repertoire.

The two-volume format ensures exhaustive coverage and maximum support for students and faculty alike. Volume I serves as a general introduction to music theory while Volume II offers a survey of the theoretical underpinnings of musical styles and forms from Gregorian Chant through the present day. The supplemental instructor's materials provide clear-cut solutions to assignment materials. Music in Theory and Practice is a well-rounded textbook that integrates the various components of musical structure and makes them accessible to students at the undergraduate level.
The ninth edition of Music in Theory and Practice has been revised to eliminate as many awkward page turns and cross-references as possible.
A series of pedagogical “practice” instructions have been added to guide students through their initial efforts at understanding concepts.
Several new full-length compositions have been added to allow students additional opportunity to study complete works rather than isolated sections of a composition.

Thorough and Comprehensive Coverage: Music in Theory and Practice includes a thorough study of the fundamentals of music and the structural elements of melody, rhythm, and texture. In this way, the authors hope to present a more balanced view of the structure of music, rather than concentrating exclusively on harmony and voice leading.

Integrated teaching and learning package: This textbook is a part of a carefully integrated package. An instructor's manual accompanies each volume. It offers helpful hints in presenting class material and answers to objective text assignments.
