Book Title: Harmony and Musicianship with Solfège

Book Description

Harmony and Musicianship with Solfège is a result of nearly 50 years combined music theory teaching by the authors, Laszlo Cser and Daniel Wanner. The textbook continues to be a fundamental component of the music theory program at Los Angeles City College.

The textbook adheres to the harmony and musicianship course requirements of California State University and California Community College music programs, presenting comprehensive harmony studies and assignments of the Common Practice Period (1600-1900), sight singing and ear training materials, and chapters introducing 20^th century music techniques including jazz.

The textbook employs the Kodály method’s movable-do solfège system, where the do–re–mi–fa–so–la–ti syllables represent scale degrees and harmonic functions rather than actual pitches.
