"'This is something that has been sorely needed!... an excellent choice for A level and diploma students... thorough' EPTA Piano Journal Winter 1999 'well laid out both in terms of its design and content... as a very solid and thorough course in classical harmony this book really delivers' Music Teacher April 2000 'An aspect that places this book on a higher level than the traditional harmony textbook is the numerous exercises which are based on models from music literature and which cover a wide variety of textures.'

Product Description
Harmony in Practice explores the main elements of tonal harmony. Students using this book will acquire a secure knowledge of the basics of harmonic practice. Singing, playing and completing the exercises, and studying the music examples, will provide essential experience of the 'tools of the trade'.

I am currently an A level student and I found this book highly useful, not only for my AS level music but also my ABRSM Grade 6 theory. It takes you from the very beginning with easy things such as naming chords through to harder topics such as Bach chorales and modulation. A great book to have to aid your studies.

This is an excellent tool for both studying and teaching HARMONY. Step by step it introduces the student to the chords, voice leading etc, all the things that would not get much attention in music theory exams up to Grade 5. It is also a great help for the music diploma candidates, who want to have a solid knowledge and experience in music harmony. Filled with examples and exercises, alongside with the answers book (to be purchased separately)this book makes teaching harmony an easy task.

This release from the big name associated with harmony studies, Anna Butterworth, comes attractively presented by the ABRSM. The book takes you from the beginning, teaching about the foundations of triads to the more complicated harmonic structures towards the end of the book.
The book is well written, researched and presented and is an absolute must for any music student at A Level and above. It is definitely a useful resource for degree level students.
I will certainly be adding this to my students' reccommended reading list.

Not great for absolute beginners but a great crash course for the rest...
I've been working my way through this in preparation for a PGCE music specialism. It's well thought out, explains key concepts well, and teaches good practice. Read more

Better than the ABRSM Music theory in practice books
I used the ABRSM Music theory in practice books (Eric Ball) to get to Grade 5, passing it easily. However, from grade 6 forwards they are much less useful, and I'd reccommend Anna... Read more
