Theory of music & musicology

With a focus on music in context and a wealth of in-text and online exercises, The Complete Musician offers a complete program for teaching and learning undergraduate music theory. Rather than rote learning of concepts and memorizing terms, the text asks students to explore the ways in which theory informs and responds to the work of performers and composers, underscoring its relevance to students' wider musical lives.

Reviews for The Complete Musician: An Integrated Approach to Theory, Analysis, and Listening

The Complete Musician is a comprehensive theory textbook with a linear approach, with aural skills and keyboard, and numerous activities and examples that illustrate each topic well. -David Thurmaier, University of Missouri-Kansas City This textbook makes important concepts in music theory accessible to the student in a way that is both clear and concise. Laitz's knowledge of both music-theory pedagogy and the repertoire is superlative, which results in a text that is beneficial to use in the entirety of the music-theory sequence. -Michael Chikinda, University of Utah
