Customer Reviews

Useful practice questions but alas no answers included.
This workbook presents very practical theory and voice leading problems in order to help you practice the theories outlined in the textbook, unfortunately there are no answers contained in the workbook. Unless you have someone who can correct your work it is not a particularly useful book- especially if you are working on your own.

Buyer Beware!
This is actually Workbook II which accompanies the textbook of Harmony and Voice Leading. Workbook I is simply under the description of 'Harmony and Voice Leading' (Paperback).

Make sure you order what you want!

harmony?
Would someone please list each if these Books, Workbooks and CDs in relation to each other so the WHOLE can be seen? I have happily used the Hardcover H & V 1, pub in l978; as it seemed useful, recently purchased the H&V 3rd ed, to find it is a 2 CD set, yet there is a good deal of crossover use for CD #1 to the H&V volume #1; to what study book does CD #2 refer? to what does the 'workbook' refer? Unless there are some printed answers available, there is truly no use to a 'workbook', because you'll never know where you went wrong; even teachers may disagree on the 'rules'. Why can't they make a straightforward offering of these materials?
