To Students
As you start to study music in a more formal way, it might be helpful to know that
you can take multiple pathways through the material you want to learn. No one right
way to study music will ensure success. Instead, there are many parallel paths—some
in this book, others online—all of which require about the same amount of commit-
ment, dedication, and hard work. So as you go forward, don’t do so by rote. Endless
practice with little to show for it over time is not a formula for success. If one method
of study doesn’t seem to work for you, try another. The goal is the same: to achieve
your potential.
Materials
That is where this book and its online practice materials can help—by offering, as they
do, alternate ways for you to practice and learn. The text, A Creative Approach to Music
Fundamentals, includes written work and listening examples to improve your musical
skills, as well as periodic comprehensive quizzes to help measure your progress. In
addition, an interactive website contains thousands of Focus on Fundamentals prac-
tice materials, as well as sound files of musical examples in the text. Now, online at the
Music Fundamentals in Action website, mfa.focusonfundamentals.com, you can prac-
tice the material you need learn at a pace that’s right for you.
In this tenth edition, you have a package of practice materials that will not only
allow your teacher to focus class attention on the topics that are most important to
the group, but also allow you to customize your own individual learning experience to
better suit your schedule. What you need to learn may be fixed, that is, the funda-
mentals of music; but how you set about acquiring this knowledge is now, more
than ever, in your hands. Though regular practice and study are still absolutely
necessary—no musician ever gets any better otherwise—the variety of musical expe-
riences and practice materials in this courseware package will make your work seem
easier and less repetitive and, perhaps, go a little faster as well.
How to Practice
We will begin to learn music by learning how to practice. Nothing is more significant;
it is the most important activity a musician undertakes. The good ones practice
every day. And you will need to as well, if you want to improve. So regular practice
is emphasized, and specific techniques for how to practice are discussed throughout
the text. You will also find plenty of practice exercises designed to help you grow and
improve musically, plus skill assessment materials to help you gauge your progress
along the way.

xvi Being Musical
PREFACE
It is equally important that you experience the more creative aspects of music—the
listening, performing, and composing activities—as early in your studies as possible.
This, after all, is the fun side of music, the part that makes all the studying and prac-
ticing worthwhile. In the Music in Action exercises, found both in the textbook and
online, a variety of activities are available that will encourage and enable you to
become musically engaged, both on your own and as a class. As you proceed through
this material, all the way to writing a song in Chapter 14, remember that music isn’t
something you begin to make after you complete the class. It can, should, and must
happen all along the way.
Focus
The focus of your work in music fundamentals will be to understand and learn to use
the basic set of musical building blocks, or elements, that inform all music. This is
important regardless of the type of musician you consider yourself to be, because no
matter what the style, the fundamentals of music always stay the same. What
changes are the many different ways that composers have emphasized and combined
these elements. To put it more succinctly, musical styles change over time, the fun-
damentals of music do not. So no matter what kind of music you listen to, and want
to write and play, the way to begin is to learn the fundamentals. You will always be
able to apply them to any style of music you may come to love, including ones that
haven’t even been imagined yet.
To Instructors
For instructors who have used A Creative Approach to Music Fundamentals in a pre-
vious edition, the most obvious change in this new tenth edition is the moving of the
Focus on Fundamentals practice exercises from a companion CD-ROM to an integrated,
interactive website, mfa.focusonfundamentals.com. (The website, incidentally, has
other teaching and learning features you’ll want to explore.) This move was made to
give instructors more possibilities in choosing topics and activities for their classes and
to offer students additional flexibility in designing their individual out-of-class practice
activities.
Another important change in this tenth edition is that the Practice Materials
located at the end of each chapter have now been coordinated with the Class Work sec-
tions within the text. Students needing extra work in a particular area will now be
directed to the Practice Materials that will help them most. In addition, the Practice
Materials have been made a bit more user-friendly through the expansion of their
instructions to include additional tips and suggestions for completing the work suc-
cessfully. All this was done to better integrate the Class Work and Practice Materials
sections with the text. It should also be noted that the Practice Materials for Chapters 9
(Minor Scales) and 11 (Triads) have been reduced somewhat, without removing any
of the various types of exercises, since the sheer amount of practice material had
grown too large and unwieldy for many students to complete.
You will also notice that the Rhythm Revisited sections that were spread through-
out the text in the ninth edition have all been returned to the two chapters on rhythm
near the front of the book. This was done to ensure that all the information on rhythm
is easily accessible, and that later topics are not interrupted by the need to introduce
unrelated material.
Finally, new topics have been added to individual chapters, including sections on
Articulations (Chapter 4, Pitch), Tetrachords, (Chapter 5, Major Scales), Lead Sheets
