This actually wasn't a boring textbook, glad my teacher picked one that is actually interesting to read! Double check with your teacher before buying the CD's, because most of the recordings we used were easily found on youtube or our college's music library.

Great book

Book was not very clean. Plus I did not realize a CD comes with new books and I bought this used, so no CD!

Textbook for school

I didn't enjoy the organization of this textbook
