Music Theory for Musical Theatre

"Music Theory for Musical Theatre is designed to demystify music theory and analysis and make it more accessible to musical theatre students. It aims to equip them with a basic skill set to apply directly to the art form. John Bell and Steven R. Chicurel explore how musical theatre composers use basic principles of music theory to illuminate characters and tell stories, helping students understand the form, structure, and dramatic power of musical theatre repertoire."--BOOK JACKET.

Steven R. Chicurel is the chair and an associate professor of theatre at the University of Central Florida. John Bell is the chair of the Performing and Fine Arts Department at DeSales University.
