The Music Theory Materials website was created to provide materials – musical examples, Powerpoint presentations, videos, handouts, and exercises – for use in music theory and aural skills classes.
For the musical examples, the specific goal is to provide examples of full pieces of music that can be used in the study of music theory. The musical examples are presented as downloadable PDFs and audio files or as links to other sites that contain this information.
