Harmony is a subject that explores the essence of chords, their characteristics and how to use them to build coherent, pleasing and effective musical compositions. The author of this book feels that Harmony is best understood not through academic study alone, but through the development of a robust musical ear. They assert that musicians must be able to recognise the sound of a chord immediately upon hearing it and match it with the correct notation. To aid the student in achieving this, almost every subject in this text is introduced with a series of Ear Exercises, in which the student will learn to recognise chords by ear. This book is aimed at students with some foundational knowledge of music, and is suitable for both classroom use and self-directed study. It is comprehensive, covering all the concepts one would expect to find in an introductory harmony text and includes traditional rules such as restrictions against parallel fifths and octaves. The author offers a distinct pedagogical approach, prioritising the development of the student's aural skills and understanding of the musical impact of chords to create a more engaging and meaningful learning experience.
