Abstract

---

WebNHT is a site dedicated to the study of nonharmonic (nonchord) tones, a traditional topic found in most tonal harmony and counterpoint texts. WebNHT is an interactive multimedia guide to nonharmonic tones designed specifically for university-level music theory students. It provides a means for self-paced study, review, and personal assessment beyond what is usually provided in traditional textbooks. Students work in a simple hypertext environment designed to provide convenient non-linear access to definitions of terms and musical examples with MIDI audio playback.
