LISTENING TO MUSIC is designed to help develop and refine the
listening skills of your students and inspire a lifelong
appreciation of music. Author and award-winning scholar-teacher
Craig Wright, who has taught Music Appreciation courses for more
than 35 years, is consistently praised by reviewers and other
professors for his unparalleled accuracy and his clear, direct,
conversational style. Throughout the book, Wright connects with
today's students by incorporating comparisons between pop and
classical music and by using examples from popular artists to
illustrate core concepts. This chronological text succinctly covers
traditional Western music from medieval to modern, discussing
examples from each historical period within their social contexts
and the construction of each piece. Later chapters cover popular
music, its impact on musical globalization, and comparisons between
Western and non-Western music. LISTENING TO MUSIC is the only text
that provides Craig Wright's own Listening Exercises, in the book
and online, which help students focus on important musical elements
and episodes. A free CD, packaged with each printed copy of the
text, includes all of the musical examples for the Part 1 listening
exercises. A full set of optional online student resources includes
Active Listening Guides, streaming music, an interactive eBook,
quizzing, and more--all to challenge your students. All of the
music discussed in the text is also available on CD and on Sony
Music download cards. Available with InfoTrac Student Collections
