Summary:

Listen. Learn. Appreciate. Share. The best tools for developing listening skills. For 60 years, The Enjoyment of Music has set the standard for enhancing the listening experience for students -- from the introduction of in-text Listening Guides to the development of innovative online pedagogy. This new edition raises the bar with leading-edge pedagogy that helps students listen, understand, and appreciate. A new focus on sharing responses to music. New in-text and online features prepare students to write and talk with confidence about the music they encounter in the course and beyond. A new focus on performance and interpretations. New "Performance Matters" feature for each period highlights the role of interpreters and the choices they make that matter to listeners. The feature considers both general questions of interpretations and the specific choices and challenges presented by each period's music. And -- new to this edition -- eleven Listening Guides across the book include "Another Hearing" -- a different performance of the same LG work to highlight differences in interpretation. Digital teaching and learning resources that ensure student success. Superb audio, video, and assessment content pairs with innovative Norton technologies like InQuizitive to deliver the best music appreciation resources available. All in a format that is powerful, flexible, and easily integrated with campus learning systems.
