Great CDs for National Board and World Music Study,
By Kevin "Kevin" (NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Soundscapes: Exploring Music in a Changing World (CD-ROM)
I purchased these and the book to accompany the NBCT World music study that I had to do for the assessment center. It is good set for review or learning about the topic of world music. I recommend it for study or for your class.

This review is from: Soundscapes (Paperback)
This is a very good, thorough book. It explains music of all countries, tying the music together quite well. The music from the listening guides was very helpful in understanding what she was talking about. I just wish I could find the CD's that came with the book.
My only complaint is that she did not go into any Classical, rap, pop, or Broadway music. These are very important to world music, and I was surprised to see that she did not include them. All in all, its a great book that has interesting and educational topics.
