MUSIC OF THE PEOPLES OF THE WORLD, THIRD EDITION, takes a survey approach to world music, covering 11 music cultures. This text focuses on how to listen to and appreciate the music of different cultures, appropriate for students who are not music majors. The text also explores geography and history, allowing students to connect the music to its social context. Listening skills are developed through spotlights on non-Western instruments, and 30 listening guides track the audio step by step, pointing listeners to important characteristics of the piece. Many full-color photos and graphics of instruments, musicians, and cultural events help students understand the context of music in countries with which they may be unfamiliar. The listening guides, an available 2-CD set (with full selections that help students hear significant differences among the music cultures), and Active Listening Tools (allowing students to view instruments and cultural settings while they listen to musical excerpts) further enhance listening and understanding.Important Notice: Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.

I ordered this book on Kindle, which I definitely recommend ordering it that way because it makes it so much easier to take to class. Also, the search button helps me find information quickly. It's a good book with lots of good information. The only thing I wish was different was that it had a more complete glossary. Most of my assignments for my World Music class involve writing definitions of terms, instruments, etc., and many of the terms my professor wants us to learn are not listed in the glossary as official vocabulary terms. Luckily, it's still not too difficult to find the information within the text.

Was a good text to go along with my music class. Teaches so that a non musician can get musical structure.

Book definetely came on time, which is definetely a plus, since I had to start my reading for my World Music class. Book is in good condition, no regrets in ordering it. Awesome!

This was a textbook my granddaughter needed for college. It was a good deal and she was very pleased with it.

It has met the requirements need for my summer course. Can't ask for more than that.

Great price, excellent condition. Accompanying CDs are brand new. Thanks!
