Developing Musicianship through Aural Skills, Fourth Edition, is a comprehensive method for learning to hear, sing, understand, and use the foundations of music as part of an integrated curriculum, incorporating both sight singing and ear training in one volume. Under the umbrella of musicianship, this textbook guides students to "hear what they see, and see what they hear," with a trained, discerning ear on both a musical and an aesthetic level.

Key features of this new edition include:

Revised selection of musical examples, with added new examples including more excerpts from the literature and additional easy and intermediate examples.
Several modules have been reorganized to enhance pedagogy and reflect instructor practice, including sections on ties and dotted notes; pentatonic scales; intervals; seventh chords; chromaticism in tonal scalar structures; and post-tonal music.
Revised and updated âIntermezzoâ chapters offering reflections on a variety of subjects related to building a career as a musician.
Supporting Online Resources now include enhanced identification and dictation instruction.

The text reinforces both musicianship and theory in a systematic method, and its holistic approach provides students with the skills necessary to incorporate professionalism, creativity, confidence, and performance preparation in their music education. Over 1,600 musical examples represent a wide range of musical styles and genres, including classical, jazz, musical theatre, popular, and folk music. The fourth edition of Developing Musicianship through Aural Skills provides a strong foundation for undergraduate music students and answers the need for combining skills in a more holistic, integrated music theory core.
