W. W. Norton & Company has been independent since its founding in 1923, when William
Warder norton and Mary d. herter norton first published lectures delivered at the Peopleโs
institute, the adult education division of new York Cityโs Cooper Union. The firm soon expanded
its program beyond the institute, publishing books by celebrated academics from America and
abroad. By midcentury, the two major pillars of nortonโs publishing programโtrade books and
college textsโwere firmly established. in the 1950s, the norton family transferred control of the
company to its employees, and todayโwith a staff of four hundred and a comparable number of
trade, college, and professional titles published each yearโW. W. norton & Company stands as
the largest and oldest publishing house owned wholly by its employees.

Chapter 1 Apply It
Because singing and playing piano can help you understand and remember musical concepts, these performing
activities will make up a significant part of your study.
When singing:
โข Donโt be shy; sing out with enthusiasm!
โข Donโt worry about the quality of your voice. Sing every chance you get. Everything improves with practice.
โข Sing a warm-up pattern first (like the one given next) to orient your voice and ear.
When playing on a keyboard:
โข Keep your fingers curved.
โข Donโt depress any pedals for now.
โข Typically, play different notes with different fingers.
If you donโt have access to a piano:
โข Practice on any keyboard app.
โข Practice on the foldout keyboard in the front of the book.
A. Sing at Sight
1. Point and sing
When your teacher or a partner points to a note, sing the pitch with any of the โlyricsโ shown beneath the staff. If you
have a keyboard, sing and play using the left-hand (L.H.) and right-hand (R.H.) finger numbers.

Apply It A.1 (Point and sing) may be projected onto a classroom screen. This activity will help students to: (1) learn
common melodic patterns; (2) associate letter names, piano keys, and pitches with each other and with melodic
patterns; and (3) notate melodic patterns from memory.
โข Establish home by playing middle C. You might also sing (or play) a key-establishing pattern. For example, sing
CโEโGโFโDโBโCโGโC (or play Iโii6โVโI) in C major.

โข To create a melody, point to a succession of letters, pitches, or piano keys. As soon as you point to an item,
students should sing the pitch with its letter name.
โข The staff notation gives the pentachord CโDโEโFโG as whole notes. These should be the primary tones of
your melodies. The neighbor tones below (B) and above (A) are shown as filled note heads to indicate their
subsidiary role as embellishments.
โข Make the lines musical, with a balance of rising and falling motions.
โข Begin with simple three-to-five-note patterns, and increase the number of notes as the class becomes more
proficient.
โข Include some skips to test studentsโ association of pitch, letter name, and piano key.
โข Repeat a melody until students memorize it.
โข Ask the class to write your melody with letters names or pitches on a treble or bass staff.
โข Eventually, hide an item, such as the letter names, and have students perform another item without the help of
the hidden one.
โข As students become more proficient, point to a sequence of three to five items (letters, pitches, or piano keys)
and ask students to refrain from singing until you have completed the sequence. Once you signal that the
pattern is complete, students sing it back to you. This helps develop studentsโ musical memory.
โข Students can practice creating and notating patterns at home with the foldout keyboard in the text, or a piano
keyboard app. Call on a few students to play their patterns for the class.
