Riassunto

For undergraduate-level courses in Music Appreciation.

Understanding Music teaches students what to listen for in music. Jeremy Yudkin's text is a rich music appreciation program that supports the instructor's ultimate goal of teaching active listening. By focusing on music of the Western tradition in its social, historical, and global context, this text engages students in an active listening experience of music through a lively narrative text and innovative activities―all supported by accompanying CD recordings, listening guides, a new Inside The Orchestra video and CD-ROM, and a new student listening notebook: MusicNotes.
