Experiencing Latin American Music draws on human experience as a point of departure for musical understanding. Students explore broad topics-identity, the body, religion, and more-and relate these to Latin American musics while refining their understanding of musical concepts and cultural-historical contexts. With its brisk and engaging writing, this volume covers nearly fifty genres and provides both students and instructors with online access to audio tracks and listening guides. A detailed instructor's packet contains sample quizzes, clicker questions, and creative, classroom-tested assignments designed to encourage critical thinking and spark the imagination. Remarkably flexible, this innovative textbook empowers students from a variety of disciplines to study a subject that is increasingly relevant in today's diverse society.
In addition to the instructor's packet, online resources for students include:
customized Spotify playlist
online listening guides
audio sound links to reinforce musical concepts
stimulating activities for individual and group work
