Introduced in 1976, The Music Kit was the first to offer students an integrated learning environment for the fundamentals course.
By encouraging students to be active learners and providing for varied learning styles, The Music Kit has continued to foster the development and mastery of the basic skills needed for further study in music. Students perform frequent exercises, listen to music while examining music scores, tap or clap along to recorded rhythms, and complete computerized tutorials, drills, and quizzes that return personalized feedback and scores. Not merely a textbook, The Music Kit offers a complete system for introductory music training, which includes a Workbook, Rhythm Reader, Scorebook, audio CD, and computer software for Macintosh and Windows. Featuring updated software—now available for Macintosh and Windows platforms—a newly recorded, fully-tracked audio CD, and increased emphasis on aural skills, the Fourth Edition continues to raise the bar for music training excellence.

A good Introductory Theory Text,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Music Kit, Fourth Edition (Paperback)
This book was used in my Introduction to Music Theory class which was the entry level music theory class for music majors at Fullerton College.IN the class we covered up to chapter ten so becuase we would cover the material for the rest of the book in our next semester music theory course which is called "Harmony I". I think it did a good job at providing the essentials and basics of music theory. THe book was not boring and provided in a very interactive way. The book goest from the very rudiments to some of the topics found in first year harmony. This book also did a great job at introducing elementary sight-singing using several methods based on the instructors choice. I think the book should include elementary ear training so that the book would be complete. It did a good job of introducing rythms from easy to more complex. This book should provide a proper foundation for students who are advancing to high studies of music theory and muscianship. This book was easy to understand for the most part and did not go into scholary jargon. I would reccoment this text to anyone who wants a proper foundation of music theory. This book was very well written.

Excellent seller...,

This review is from: The Music Kit, Fourth Edition (Paperback)
The first time I bought this Music Kit, another seller sent me only the Rhythm Reader book without the Workbook. So I bought it again for a second time and this seller delivered it. Fast shipping, condition was as described, and both two books were included. I definitely recommend this seller.

All About Notation,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Music Kit, Fourth Edition (Paperback)
The description for this book is confusing. The "kit" should include two books and a CD. The thicker paperback book is the Workbook. The second book is Rhythm Reader and Scorebook (referred to as RR) and includes an audio CD companion disc. There is an optional third piece to this "kit", the interactive computer disc (The Music Kit) - it is NOT included with this item.
The Rhythm Reader book is a set of exercises on how to read music rhythm. One hundred pages cover just about everything in the world anybody would ever need to eek out rhythm in printed music. The last seventy some pages are examples. The Workbook is, oddly, the main piece of this kit. This is a beginners study on music notation. Each chapter has many exercises. The whole kit concept of this book is horribly confusing. For a high school music class, this is a decent music book.
