Reviews
'This is a strong book for students with limited musical training. I really like the improvements that have come with the 3rd edition.The photos are particularly great.' -- Gavin Douglas, University of North Carolina, Greensboro 'Students are exposed to new terminology and concepts critical to the fundamental core of classes in their early curriculum. The listening guides are very useful. This book achieves a good balance between ethnomusicology and communicating fundamental music concepts.' -- Al Johnson, Medgar Evers College, CUNY
