Course in Harmony / For classes or for self-instruction / c1886

by George H. Howard

The objectives of this course of instruction can be briefly stated. It is designed, first of all, to be a guide to young students. It is not a book which is to be learned from beginning to end. It rather points out true paths and tempts interested and earnest students to walk in them.

Properly used, it will lead students not only to become acquainted with the principles of harmony, but also to distinguish intervals, chords, progressions and treatments by the ear as readily as by the aid of the eye. It will be found that a real education of the musical faculties is feasible through methods such as those presented here. It will thus be found to be practical as well as theoretical in its aims.
