Music doesn't stop at the border, and neither should your textbook. This
text gives students a global sense of music and its significance across
cultures by introducing them to a diverse repertoire and developing
listening skills applicable to all music. An accessible three-part
model for listening--sound, setting, and significance--facilitates
comparisons of various musical styles and meanings, and with Total
Access, Soundscapes provides the digital resources students need to
discover new music in a digitally connected world.
