Written specifically for students in music theatre programs, it offers music theory by way of musical theatre. Not a traditional music theory text, \u003cem\u003eMusic Theory through Musical Theatre\u003c\/em\u003e tackles the theoretical foundations of musical theatre and musical theatre literature with an emphasis on what students will need to master in preparation for a professional career as a performer. Veteran music theatre musician John Franceschina brings his years of experience to bear in a book that offers musical theatre educators an important tool in equipping students with what is perhaps the most important element of being a performer: the ability to understand the language of music in the larger dramatic context to which it contributes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book uses examples exclusively from music theater repertoire, drawing from well-known and more obscure shows and songs. Musical sight reading is consistently at the forefront of the lessons, teaching students to internalize notated music quickly and accurately, a particularly necessary skill in a world where songs can be added between performances. Franceschina consistently links the concepts of music theory and vocal coaching, showing students how identifying the musical structure of and gestures within a piece leads to better use of their time with vocal coaches and ultimately enables better dramatic choices. Combining formal theory with practical exercises, \u003cem\u003eMusic Theory through Musical Theatre\u003c\/em\u003e will be a lifelong resource for students in musical theatre courses, dog-eared and shelved beside other professional resource volumes.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47890477056151,"sku":"9780199999545","price":13700.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780199999545.webp?v=1781180170","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/music-theory-through-musical-theatre-putting-it-together-9780199999545","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
