This text provides an understanding of the elements of music appreciation in a multicultural and historical context. The second edition has been restructured to refine and strengthen the elements that help students learn more effectively. The book emphasises skills in three main areas: listening, musical elements and forms, and musical styles. The textbook is packaged with two sixty-minute cassettes. Each concept presented in the text is demonstrated by a recorded example gathered from a rich diversity of music - Middle Ages through the 20th century, classical to jazz - including material from Indian, Arabic, Indonesian, African, Japanese, Chinese, and other cultures. In addition, an audio component of either five compact discs or five cassettes for the instructor are sold separately.
