Comprehensive and covers a good range of appropriate and related musical examples... I like the range of styles/performers/composers referenced in this resource. I also really like the focus on rhythmic dictation and multiple choice when asking about harmonic progressions or cadences. The reference to lead-sheets or reduced scores is also an important aspect of this resource... Interprets this specification well. It provides some invaluable wider listening... A good resource.
