Book excerpt: A text for non-music majors taking a course to improve their understanding of the fundamentals, perhaps to be better able to deal with notated music as they encounter it in sheet music, songbooks, or their elementary piano music. It begins with the notational system and progresses through rhythm and meter, sound, scales and key signatures, intervals, chords and harmony, and simple forms. The included computer disk for Macintosh or Apple II is an integral part of the text/course, systematically presenting the necessary drill work and saving class time for other activities.
