Received product quickly and in great condition. Buying textbooks from Amazon saved us a few hundred dollars instead of buying from the college bookstore!

Great Music History/Appreciation Book! August 7, 2008
We used this book in my IB Music class in high school, and I highly recommend it. The CDs are helpful, but you will find that even without them, it is a great asset. Most of the recordings are very standard, so you could easily find them online if you didn't want to buy the CDs and wanted to hear the "listening examples." It is very clear and includes good timelines which makes it easy to study.
I am a music major in college and own this book just because it is so user friendly.
The best survey available May 24, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is the best general survey of music available. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to have a grasp of the periods and styles of Western music, even if they have little or no background in music. It also contains a sampling of world music. When used with the 6 CD supplement it will make anyone feel more "at home" with the history of music and open many windows for exploration.
