Essentials of Music Theory - Elementary

A further object of the text is to offer a course of preparation for the study of harmony, composition, and appreciation. Music Appreciation, as a cultural course of study, is growing in popularity and large enthusiastic classes in this subject are to be found in all our colleges. These students are frequently handicapped by poor preparation in the essential rudiments of music such as are treated in this volume. The author's gratitude for valuable aid, criticisms, and suggestions is due his wife, Marion Dillon Gardner, and his sisters, Mabel Gardner Bankart and Lena Gardner Lewis.
