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.

Sound of Music
The book was in good condition. I check many sources Amazon had the most reasonable price.
Beautiful textbook, DOES NOT COME WITH THE CDs
This textbook was required for my college's "Enjoyment of Music" class. The reason I am writing this review is to warn others that THE BOOK DOES NOT COME WITH THE 4-CD SET that is absolutely essential to learning the material. It does come with a DVD that has been useful, but I had to purchase the CDs separately, after the class had already begun.
it's a good book
it is a good book to lean classical music.
because it has seperate every chap. to follow the time pariod,
and has some information about compositions, too.
also, you can lean some basic music theories, and could listen a lot of classical music..!
