About the Book

Discovering Music offers the context that students need to appreciate music, in a concise format that is visually appealing. Written to inspire students to connect intellectually and emotionally with music from the Western canon and beyond, the text is supported by a suite of digital resources, including new "How to Listen" pedagogy that helps students deepen their listening experience. The book opens with an introduction to the musical elements; the instruments of the orchestra; and a discussion of how to listen to music. New "Learn to Listen" pedagogy helps students experience and understand the elements of music. Then, each musical era is highlighted in individual parts, with a brief introduction to the key composers and developments that occurred in music and the related arts. "Interactive Listening Maps" offer guidance to students on how and why to listen to each work.

Review :
"Nothing comes close to Discovering Music in terms of value, quality, and extra resources. This book does a fantastic job at giving an overview of music history. It can be difficult to get the balance right talking about too few pieces or too many; or getting too in-depth for undergraduates or too shallow. Discovering Music gets it right. It's got a great selection and diversity of pieces without getting too bogged down on any one topic. It is near-perfectly paced for a one-semester course on music appreciation. Best of all, it is a great value for students and has lots of complementary resources, making it easy for instructors to prepare and teach."--Michael Wahlquist, Brigham Young University "Discovering Music ranks up there with the best of Music Appreciation textbooks."--Kevin Ayesh, Blue Ridge Community College "This text provides an overview of music history in a typical chronological order using examples of both the traditional canonic composers and more inclusive multi-gendered and multi-racial examples. Audio and video examples are included within the text and integrated multi-level listening guides help students listen deeply to the works."--Melissa Cummins, Sam Houston State University
