Links to Other Theory Sites

Tonality Guide
This site is designed for first-year university-level theory students. It includes an introduction to tonality, a reference guide, exercises, and a guide to voice leading, and an analysis tool kit. Very good site for college level theory students. 

Harmonization Tutorial
This site provides instruction on how to harmonize (choose chords for) a melody. It proceeds step by step, from identifying the key and the primary chords to playing chords that fit the tune. The site is designed for people with limited experience reading music, and it is very useful for people who may have to lead a group in singing with an autoharp or other accompanying instrument.

Schenker Guide
This site is an excellent tutorial on Schenkerian analysis. It includes a "Panic Guide" for those in need of a quick overview. This is a free site, and it is one you'll want to bookmark if your are currently enrolled in a Schenker-oriented course.

MacSet
Dr. Marcus Casren and Dr. Mikael Laurson of the Sibelius Academy have programmed an application called MacSet which is an aid for teaching and learning Set Theory. This software is free. Be aware that it is designed only for Macintosh computers.
