A complete suite of material for both performance and dictation, covering the wide range of sight singing and ear training skills required for undergraduate courses of study. Provides instructional modules on rhythm, melody, and harmony, and contains musical examples to address particular skills and concepts. "Comprehensive Aural Skills lives up to its name; together, the book and the companion website contain all the materials needed for an aural-skills curriculum. ? Comprehensive Aural Skills effectively combines singing and dictation activities in rhythm, melody, and harmony into a single book, and the high quality of the recordings makes Merritt and Castro's print-plus-digital package far more attractive than many automated dictation programs with low-quality MIDI. The inclusion of answer keys at the back of the book also makes this a viable resource for supplemental practice or even independent study ? nearly everything else needed for a four-semester curriculum is provided." - Samantha M. Inman, Music Theory Online, vol. 23, no. 3
