Synopsis

Foundations and progressions in harmony, from medieval roots to modern methods of instruction. This work outlines the evolution of harmony, tracing how early counterpoint gave way to tonal harmony and the modern handling of dissonance, cadence, and modulation. It blends historical overview with practical guidance for teaching and learning harmony today.

In clear, step-by-step fashion, the book introduces intervals, triad progressions, cadences, and the craft of modulation. It pairs historical milestones with methodical exercises to build voice-leading, triad relationships, and expressive harmony. Readers will see how theory becomes practice through progressive training and tested procedures.


  • A historical survey of harmony’s development across centuries

  • Structured exercises that develop interval sense, triads, and cadences

  • Guidance on modulation, chromatic progressions, and dissonance treatment

  • Practical approaches to harmonizing melodies and arranging for ensemble or keyboard



Ideal for readers of music theory, piano and voice students, and anyone exploring the foundations and methods of harmony.
