Harmonization-Transposition At The Keyboard

Although this book was designed for college-level functional piano courses, it can easily be used by any high school student who can sight-read simple melodies. Part 1 provides clear explanations of the functions of primary and secondary triads, dominant sevenths and secondary dominants, and modulation. Suggestions for developing proficiency in harmonizing in various free styles—rather than the more formal chorale style—are also included. Part 2 contains 797 melodies that have been carefully selected and classified to include a variety of keys, chords, rhythms, and accompaniment styles.
