Harmony in Practice explores the main elements of tonal harmony. Students using this book will acquire a secure knowledge of the basics of harmonic practice. Singing, playing and completing the exercises, and studying the music examples, will provide essential experience of the 'tools of the trade'. More than 280 music examples illustrate the author's clear and direct exposition of the history and practice of harmony while the student will be able to work through over 180 exercises. The practical workbook format will enable students to prepare for a variety of musical examinations - for the Associated Board's Grade 6 to Grade 8 Theory examinations; for A Level Music and Diploma examinations; for university and college entrance papers. It will serve in particular as a vital aid in bridging the gap between Grade 5 and Grade 6 Theory. A thorough pursuit of this workbook will also bring a greater understanding to bear on students' music-making, and will enhance their awareness of style and their appreciation of other musicians' performances. Review: Wonderful - I use this book to teach theory to my higher level pupils, and it is really well written. It is the perfect companion for enriching and building upon the subject content from grade 6 to grade 8. Although there are many pages to cover and as a result the 'rules' can become diluted, it is an easily overcome issue, as you can just write out the main rules onto a separate document for future reference. Overall, a fantastic book that I would recommend to any student or teacher alike. And what a bargain! Review: Edition - A great book.

Very extensive lots of examples to try. I'm doing grade 6 theory and I'm sure this will be a point of reference very often.

Excellent teaching and learning textbook / wokbook
This is an excellent tool for both studying and teaching HARMONY. Step by step it introduces the student to the chords, voice leading etc, all the things that would not get much attention in music theory exams up to Grade 5. It is also a great help for the music diploma candidates, who want to have a solid knowledge and experience in music harmony. Filled with examples and exercises, alongside with the answers book (to be purchased separately)this book makes teaching harmony an easy task.

Quite simply this is the best music theory book I’ve ever seen.
The book’s excellent layout - nothing to dislike. I bought it on recommendation by my music tutor to extend my musical theory knowledge above Grade 5 (ABRSM) which I gained several years ago. Its corresponding ANSWER BOOK is equally good and is a MUST. Quite frankly the best music theory book I’ve ever seen . Excellent value. Leslie F Ball (Feb 7th 2022)

Great book!
This book is exactly what I needed to bridge the gap between grade 5 and grade 6 music theory (ABRSM). It explains everything in detail. I will definitely recommend this to any ABRSM student grade 6 and up. Now, I would like to thank the seller for the awesome packaging. This was protected very nicely. The condition of the book was basically like new! Just had a very small mark on the cover which I would have actually over looking if I was buying this new. Absolutely great condition and the seller was very pleasant/responded quite quickly when I inquired about the condition of the book before purchasing. Thank you and I will not hesitate to purchase from you again.

Awesome book, Awesome delivery.
This book is a great book as it has step by step approach towards the understanding of practical harmony. I am currently using in my harmony studies in the University of Lagos and for my ABRSM graded exams. The seller was awesome in their delivery. It was pretty fast as I got my delivery 11 days before the expected date.
