by Stephen C. Stone (Author)
This text presents a pragmatic, accessible approach to music theory by emphasizing melody and counterpoint. Starting with a single melodic line and gradually adding voices in counterpoint, the book drills part-writing while also explaining functionality, first with scale degrees and then with harmony. Workbook sections follow each chapter.
