Synopsis

Master modern harmony with practical, step-by-step guidance on chords, progressions, and voice leading.

This edition presents techniques for working with seventh-chords, inversion, and preparation, helping you connect chords smoothly with clear, repeatable rules. It uses concrete examples and exercises you can follow to build lasting understanding of harmony.

Designed for self-instruction or classroom use, the book emphasizes practical applications—modulation, altered chords, and enharmonic connections—so you can apply theory to real music. It guides you through building progressions and resolving dissonances with confidence.


  • Learn how to prepare and resolve seventh-chords and navigate their inversions.

  • Explore voice leading and bass movement to achieve smooth, coherent progressions.

  • Use altered chords to create closer chord connections and practical modulation.

  • Practice with exercises that reinforce concepts and improve musical intuition.



Ideal for readers seeking a clear, usable approach to harmony, whether studying alone or with a teacher.
