Music Theory and Composition: A Practical Approach

By Stephen C Stone

This text presents a pragmatic, accessible approach to music theory by emphasizing melody and counterpoint. Starting with a single melodic line and gradually adding voices in counterpoint, the book drills part-writing while also explaining functionality, first with scale degrees and then with harmony.
