Solfege, Ear Training, Rhythm, Dictation, and Music Theory: A Comprehensive Course

Review

“Marta Árkossy Ghezzo's well-written and highly-organized volume presents a comprehensive system of interrelated musical disciplines intended to aid in the acquisition of general musical skills. Useful as a classroom text, it has considerable value as an academic reference work in music because of the number of excellent musical examples that illustrate tonal, chromatic, modal, and atonal systems, and because of an extensive series of graphic symbols frequently encountered in the notation of aleatory music.” ―CHOICE“Solfège is unique because of its extent and ingenuity. Dr. Ghezzo has integrated into her system all the essential information necessary for a student to become a professional musician.” ―Dr. Vladimir Scolnic, Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance, Israel “The greatest strength of this book lies in the structure it provides for ear training studies, incorporating various musical styles from classical to modern, as well as world ethnic areas. The book is an essential resource that emphasizes the best educational skills towards the study of musicianship, ear training, and sight singing.”―Professor Doo-jin Ahn, Hanseo University, Seoul, Korea “The manner of presentation and organization as well as the quality of the original music used and of the exercises is . . . revolutionary.” ―Professor Alexandru Hrisanide, Conservatory of Music, Holland “It is sufficient to glance through a few lessons of this book to be immediately convinced of a real sense of enrichment in the teaching of the theoretical, practical, and analytical basics of music.” ―Professor Paolo Musmeci, Conservatory of Music “Giuseppe Verdi,” Milan
