The Enjoyment of Music
An Introduction to Perceptive Listening
Easy to read, easy to teach, The Enjoyment of Music has been the most trusted introduction to music for over five decades.
The Eleventh Edition reflects how today's students learn, listen to, and live with music. With an accessible, student-friendly treatment of the subject, it emphasizes context to show how music fits in the everyday lives of people throughout history, and connects culture, performance, and technology to the lives of students today. The new edition features a streamlined and memorable narrative, more cultural and historical context, and in-text features that encourage and develop critical thinking skills.
