Henry Mancini Series On The Arts: Exploring Musical Structure

This is an intriguing and fun study because it helps develop and improve musicianship skills, and helps solve many mysteries of musical structures and sounds. This book presents the basics of musical sound (pitch, melody, rhythm, harmony, etc.) and how they appear in music. You will also be guided through elements and exercises in reading and interpreting standard musical notation and will be given exercises to acquire and sharpen such skills. Studies in musical structure will reveal how melodies, harmonies, and rhythms are formed and work together. Later in the book, you will apply the presented principles in a very interesting exercise in writing harmony for a given melody. While reading this book, you will notice that many of the musical figures and examples have a small "musical notes" icon printed beside them. For these, you will find sound files that play the notated example as a sound file on the book's associated website, www.manciniarts.com.
