Welcome!
Music: A Social Experience, Third Edition offers a thematic approach to the study of music appreciation through lively narratives and innovative activities. Musical examples are presented within universally experienced social frameworks (ethnicity, gender, spirituality, love, and more) to help students understand how music reflects and advances human experience, deepening both individual and cultural understandings. Students engage with multiple genres (Western art music, popular music, and world music) for a thorough introduction to today’s rich musical world.
