Sources for the “Going Deeper” Notes

Throughout this book you’ll find “Going Deeper” boxes that point to two excellent, free, college-level music theory textbooks. They are more academic and formal than this book, but if you want a deeper or more rigorous treatment of a topic, they are outstanding companions. Full details for both are below.

• Hamm, Chelsey, Bryn Hughes, et al. Open Music Theory, 2nd ed. VIVA Open / Pressbooks. Available free online at https://viva.pressbooks.pub/openmusictheory/.
• Hutchinson, Robert. Music Theory for the 21st-Century Classroom. University of Puget Sound. Available free online at https://musictheory.pugetsound.edu/mt21c/MusicTheory.html.

Page numbers and section numbers in the “Going Deeper” boxes refer to these online editions and may shift slightly as the books are updated; the chapter and section titles will get you to the right place.
