The subject of music theory is taught at many places: music schools, conservatories, continuing-education seminars for laymen... Up to now, however, there has been no didactically perfected yet thoroughly comprehensive concept. Wieland Ziegenrücker, whose pedagogical classic "ABC Musik Allgemeine Musiklehre" has confirmed his expertise with the material, has coordinated his "Praktische Musiklehre" with the syllabi of the "Verband deutscher Musikschulen" (VdM) and tested it extensively in the classroom. Ziegenrücker places great importance on aural training and consistently incorporates it into his method from the very start. This is why the three books of the "Praktische Musiklehre" each contain a CD. Books 2 and 3 take the music-theory method all the way to simple song harmonizations, which corresponds to an intermediate level in the VdM's syllabus.

Here, now, is Book 2, another didactically well-prepared volume that also contains an accompanying CD and retains the prominent role of ear training in its concept. The student marches onward, leaving behind him the melodic range delimited by five tones. The intervals are treated individually, and syncopations, triplets and even the quintuple meter are on the rhythmic agenda. in the harmony section, Ziegenrücker turns his attention to the circle of fifths and chordal inversions. So roll up your sleeves, get out your music paper and pencils, and get started on the second third of this practical music method!
