Analysis Workbook
A comprehensive anthology for learning formal analysis techniques through student projects. The workbook has multiple examples of similar analysis material which can be assigned to individual students or student group. For every analysis subject, the workbook contains four separate musical examples of equal difficulty drawn from the common practice period of western European concert music. These examples can be assigned to students as individual or group analysis projects for in-class presentation. In this way, students are exposed to multiple examples of each development in music, acquire familiarity with the topic or technique and gain wider exposure to the repertoire.
