Musics of the World offers a rich and inviting introduction to music from around the globe, exploring a diverse array of traditions and genres in depth while helping students develop skills for approaching new music in their lives. Clear, accessible introductory chapters give students a solid overview of ethnomusicology, setting the stage for eighteen geographically-focused chapters that ground students in a region's cultural context before exploring what makes each place musically unique.

Throughout, videos, timed musical tracks, definitions, color photographs, recipes, and discussion questions provide a variety of avenues through which to engage with the music and cultures at hand.

Reviews for Musics of the World

Musics of the World is an approachable, friendly, accessible text that doesn't condescend on the one hand and doesn't resort to dense jargon on the other. * Elizabeth Wollman, City University of New York, Baruch College * A welcome addition to the general world-music studies collection, Musics of the World covers a lot of the same material as other books, but the writing style makes it stick out. * Justin Alexander, Virginia Commonwealth University * Musics of the World is well organized with suggestions for in class activities and well-known performers that allow for expansion of the listening materials and more active student participation. * Ben Weatherford, Columbus State University *
