With its wealth of hands-on exercises and contextual listening examples, Horvit/Nelson/Koozin's MUSIC FOR EAR TRAINING, Fourth Edition, helps you quickly improve your listening skills and aural understanding of music theory. The accompanying MindTap digital learning solution will propel you from memorization to mastery. Giving you the flexibility of anywhere, anytime learning, MindTap includes streaming audio for all listening examples, rendered with the highest quality instrumental timbres sampled from all the principal instruments of the orchestra. The most comprehensive resource available for aural training, the repertoire covers basic rudiments (intervals, chords and scales), melodies, four-part harmonic settings and varied textures from musical literature, including music by a wide range of major composers -- from Bach and Beethoven to Debussy and Stravinsky.
