Book Synopsis

This Student Workbook accompanies The Complete Musician: An Integrated Approach to Tonal Theory, Analysis, and Listening, Second Edition. The second of two volumes, it provides 104 separate assignments that accompany chapters 24-37 of the textbook. The second edition features a new layout: exercises are now structured in a consistent format of discrete assignments (four to eight assignments per chapter) that usually fit on one or two sheets of paper for ease in handing in to the instructor. Each assignment contains a variety of exercises, crafted for students with a wide range of abilities. Supplementary exercises are also included for further practice.
The Complete Musician, Second Edition, is enhanced and supplemented by five music DVDs—two packaged with the text, two with Student Workbook I, and one with this Student Workbook. These DVDs contain a total of more than sixteen hours of high-quality recorded examples—from solo piano to full orchestra—of the examples and exercises in the text and workbooks, performed by soloists and ensembles from the Eastman School of Music and the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. In addition, examples and exercises are included on the DVDs in downloadable MP3 format.
