Developed over many years of classroom experience by members of the music faculty at Queens College, it offers a substantial body of graded keyboard exercises organized by specific skills. Topics covered include chord progressions, sequences, modulations, realization of both figured and unfigured basses, improvisation, and score reading. There are also special exercises in chromaticism, as well as illustrations of musical procedures from the literature of tonal music. A short keyboard anthology, suitable for piano practice, transposition, and analysis, rounds out this invaluable and versatile resource.

Organized into four large sections of carefully graded exercises that correspond to the progression of material in most theory courses, A New Approach to Ear Training offers instructors remarkable flexibility, enabling them to use the book as an assigned text or as a supplement for students to work through on their own.
