Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Used by more than 3.5 million students, The Enjoyment of Music has been the most trusted introduction to music for over five decades. The Tenth Edition reaffirms this status in a thoughtful revision offering a more diverse repertory and a stronger emphasis on the cultural significance of musical styles and periods.

Responding directly to the needs of today’s students, Professor Forney has completely rewritten the chapters on musical elements for accessibility and integrated the textbook material with powerful new multimedia learning tools. These resources—the Student Resource DVD, StudySpace, and the Online Listening Lab—reinforce important concepts from the text through interactive, hands-on learning.

.

About the Author
Kristine Forney is Professor of Music at California State University, Long Beach, where she regularly teaches music appreciation and music history to undergraduate students. Her understanding of today’s students and her highly regarded teaching abilities make her the ideal author for this appreciation-level textbook. She is also a respected scholar who has written extensively on music of the Renaissance, and is a contributor to the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians.


The late Joseph Machlis was professor of music at Queens College of the City University of New York. Among his many publications are Introduction to Contemporary Music (Norton) and singing translations for many operas.

4.0 out of 5 stars Where are the CD's?, November 28, 2008
My daughter needed this book for class and the price was cheaper online than it was in the bookstore. The problem is that the book did not come with the required CDs. In order to pass the class, you need the CDs because the CDs correspond with the instructions in this book. No, Amazon did not state that the books are included and you can buy the required CDs but it would have been nice to know that the CDs were not included and if they are required they must be purchased separately. By the time we found out the CDs were not included, it was at the last minute and the professor gave my daughter extra time to listen to the CDs in class. There is a CD that comes with the book but it is not the CDs with the music on it to correlate with the instructions in the book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not New, February 23, 2009
By Jessica (Fort Worth, TX USA) - See all my reviews
I ordered this book for my college class prior to the class start date. I was surprised at how cheap the book was. When I ordered the book it said it was new and it came with the required extras (cds). I just received it last week in the mail(6 weeks into the class). To my disappointment, it was not new and did not come with the required cds. All I received was the book and it was sticky, all the pages were stuck together and it was bent up. Since I'm already halfway through my class there would be no point in sending it back. I am very disappointed in my order and this is my first experience ordering from the site. However, I don't think that I will order from here again.
