The introduction of four-part music writing in the Advanced Supplement will aid the keyboard student in the transition from the study of basic theory to the study of harmony. Simple melodies, cadences, and primary triads are used in four-voice, open and close positions on the grand staff.
A section featuring the exploration of modes, textures, and compositional devices know to be characteristic of modern composers, is included with suggested materials for research.
A brief review of fundamentals precedes the introduction of new subjects. Both the old and the new are used in composition analysis throughout the supplement. Answers to the worksheets are included with each workbook.
This workbook is made from recycled paper. By using books that are made from recycled materials, you are helping reduce deforestation and recover renewable resources.
