LISTENING TO WESTERN MUSIC is designed to help develop and refine the listening skills of your students, and to inspire a lifelong appreciation of music. Throughout the book, Wright connects with today’s students by incorporating comparisons between pop and classical music, and by using examples from popular artists to illustrate core concepts. Organized chronologically, the text discusses musical examples from every era in its social context -- describing each piece's construction as well as its culture. LISTENING TO WESTERN MUSIC is fully integrated with MindTap to get students to listen to music and not just hear it. Designed to develop listening skills, the MindTap online resources include Listening Exercises, streaming music, Active Listening Guides, chapter and critical thinking quizzes, iAudio lectures, YouTube videos, Beat the Clock games, and more. In addition, students can download all music directly to a music library.
