Customer Reviews

good purchase in this item!!!

i purchased a book called The "World of Music" for my son's college study and i was very satisfied...

Needed it for class...

The book was used in my Music Appreciation class. I liked it. It went along with the cd set well and is an easy and fast read.

Expansive

The World of Music has an expansive mission as it covers the world of music thru time. As such, it can be confusing at times. It feels like the Glossary was written by a different author and was not edited to sync with the text. The Cd set is very helpful. But I wish that it was more expansive. It would be helpful to have the glossary tied to a CD of musical examples. There is a lot of material to cover in one semester and the students need all the help they can get to have all these different musical concepts gel and be retained.

Thanks for the book

I was impressed with how they got my book to me in such a hurry. I ordered my book on Monday morning and got it by Thursday afternoon.

Pretty good

I found this book very informative and interesting. It contains lots of information. I highly recommend this book. Included CDs come with wide variety of Music, which was intriguing and interesting to listen too.
