Synopsis
Unlock the art of teaching harmony with a direct approach
This study guide presents a practical, student‑centered method for music composition. It argues against overly rigid rules and champions spontaneous self‑expression, aiming to make harmony an attractive, livelier subject. The book covers how to structure chords, voice leading, and form while emphasizing listening, appreciation, and practical application over dry theory.
Two clear sections frame the material: a philosophy of modern pedagogy and a comprehensive course in harmony. It guides teachers and students through hands‑on exercises, real‑world examples, and accessible explanations. The approach invites students to compose early and often, with emphasis on creativity and personal expression.- A direct method that encourages student composition and personal expression
- Practical coverage of chords, forms, and harmonic progressions

- Appendices and definitions that support ongoing study
