This book is a practical guide to studying harmony that approaches melody and harmony concurrently for a well-rounded understanding of musical composition. The author argues that previous methods emphasizing strict counterpoint before harmony neglect a young student's natural affinity for rich harmonies, thus hindering the development of composition instinct. Through a series of exercises, the author introduces melodic and harmonic elements to the reader, enabling the student to develop an ear for implied chords and harmonies. Recognizing the need to break free from traditional constraints, the book encourages the student to experiment with the imagination by testing various harmonies and melodic progressions. By incorporating aural perception at an elementary stage, this book sets readers on a path towards spontaneous harmonic composition.
