What began as a conversation between two colleagues about music theory textbooks has grown into a leading music theory and aural skills curriculum. The Musician’s Guide to Aural Skills helps students develop critical musicianship skills through a repertoire of real music that your students listen to and perform. Designed to link aural skills with what students do in the theory classroom, the two volumes—one for ear-training and one for sight-singing—are closely coordinated with The Musician’s Guide to Theory and Analysis, with sequence and topics aligned so that students maintain the same pace in their theory work and aural skills practice.

Written by master teachers Jane Clendinning and Betsy Marvin, the workbook that accompanies The Musician’s Guide to Theory and Analysis, Fifth Edition, provides your students the practice they need to gain proficiency in music theory. The workbook contains hundreds of exercises, offering you the flexibility to construct assignments that best meet the needs of your students. The Fifth Edition has been revised with new exercises based on new musical examples in the new edition of the textbook.

Featuring melodies, rhythms, and improvisation activities, this Sight-Singing volume features all the material students need to prepare for the sight-singing portion of the AP® exam. The repertoire for the Fourth Edition has been expanded with additional works by women and composers of color, including Josephine Lang, Emilie Mayer, Pauline Viardot, Robert Nathaniel Dett, and many others.
