The book is reader centered with frequent suggestions for study and learning, self-tests with answers, supplementary drill exercises, and step-by-step procedures.

Includes music by women composers— this feature separates Fundamentals of Music, 3/e, from most other books of its kind. In addition, frequent references to other world musics show the author's commitment to diversity. The book includes a detachable, fold-out keyboard diagram to aid in scale and interval study.
