"John D. White's comprehensive approach to music education is updated in this second edition of Guidelines for College Teaching of Music Theory. The text demonstrates presentation styles for developing aural, keyboard, and writing skills, as well as examines the theoretical and pedagogical conventions of musical education.

Twenty years after the publication of the first edition, White responds to new trends in pedagogical study, highlights the transcendence of the canon by international music styles and popular music, and takes a fresh look at the current state of American academia. Also featured is a chapter by William E. Lake on the benefits of technology in the classroom."--BOOK JACKET.
