Music Theory and Composition: A Practical Approach presents a pragmatic, accessible approach to music theory through an emphasis on melody and counterpoint. This focus explains the “why” of musical construction more clearly than the traditional approach of beginning with chords. By starting with a single melodic line and gradually adding voices in counterpoint, the book drills part-writing while simultaneously explaining functionality, first with scale degrees and then with harmony. The text has students learn musical techniques and progressively build on their functions and importance to create their own compositions. With short, digestible chapters, Music Theory and Composition clearly presents otherwise complicated ideas not as strict rules, but as artistic ideals, encouraging the interactive creation of new compositions as a tool for learning.

Original maps and stunning colour photography accompany Travis Elborough’s moving historic and geographic accounts of each site. The featured locations are a stark reminder of what was, and the accounts in this investigative book help to bring their stories back to life, telling us what happened, when and why, and to whom.

In the world of mathematics, there are many different numbers. I thought that we can use the “power of sound memorization” to memorize these numbers, and I used them as the subject of a piece. This is Mathmusic. In other words, Mathmusic is a way to memorize famous mathematical constants by incorporating them into the numbers used in the pieces. Mainly, your left hand plays the accompaniment while your right hand plays the melody, which is converted from numerical data into sound. This collection includes 23 Mathmusic pieces.
