Highlights
The most comprehensive set of multimedia tools for interactive teaching and learning.
The exceptional multimedia resources that accompany The Enjoyment of Music, Tenth Edition, engage students as active listeners and challenge them to apply what they learn. Students using the text will have free access to the Student Resource DVD-ROM and StudySpace, which provide valuable electronic listening guides, extensive review material, interactive exercises, and much more. Access to the Online Listening Lab, a rich archive of music in near-CD-quality streaming, can be purchased with the text for an additional $10. Instructor resources for the Tenth Edition apply groundbreaking technology to traditional teaching methods, offering a variety of exciting electronic media to encourage classroom discussion and allowing instructors to illustrate important musical concepts.
Revised Materials of Music chapters make essential musical elements accessible.
Recognizing that students often struggle with core musical elements, Professor Forney has thoroughly revised the Materials of Music chapters for greater clarity and accessibility. The elements covered in these chapters are reinforced by new iMusic examples, illustrative excerpts drawn from folk, world, and classical repertories, and by over 50 interactive listening exercises that test such concepts as tempo, meter, and form.
A renewed emphasis on cultural diversity.
The Tenth Edition upholds The Enjoyment of Music’s reputation for broad diversity and inclusiveness, broadly representing non-Western music, music by women, music by living composers, and music that reflects the American cultural experience. New works discussed in this edition, included at the requests of users, expand this diversity. In support of this robust coverage, review and key point sections have been refined throughout, and over half of the Cultural Perspective’s essays are new or revised for this edition to focus more closely on music’s connections to society, culture, politics, and technology.
A new repertory: dynamic performances of 100 vital works.
Revised on extensive user feedback, The Norton Recordings offer exceptional recordings of 100 of the most important works, 28 of them new to this edition and many others in dynamic new performances. Like the text, these recordings reflect a wide diversity of music and are carefully selected by Professor Forney to provide the most exciting and pedagogically accessible pieces for today’s students. Also available in a Shorter Version, The Norton Recordings are coordinated with the new edition of The Norton Scores and are complemented by detailed listening guides for each selection.
