About The Book

Music is the art and science of combining vocal or instrumental sounds or tones in varying melody, harmony, rhythm and timbre, especially so as to form structurally complete and emotionally expressive compositions. To appreciate music the listener need not know the definition of music. The knowledge of science is desirable in that it helps him or her to substantiate his or her conclusions. However, it is not a must, because music and human psyche are so inter-related that the mind involuntarily responds to music like a plant to sunlight. 'Music appreciation' is teaching a person what to listen for and how to understand what they are hearing in different types of music. Music appreciation is a division of musicology that is designed to teach students how to understand and describe the contexts and creative processes involved in music composition. The concept of music appreciation is often taught as a subset of music theory in higher education and focuses predominantly on Western art music, commonly called "Classical music". This valuable book on music introduces the meaning and various forms. The book will be useful for music students, teachers and music lovers.

Preface

Music appreciation' is teaching a person what to listen for and how to understand what they are hearing in different types of music. Courses often focus on Western art music, commonly called "Classical music". Usually music appreciation classes involve some history lessons to explain why people of a certain era liked the music that they did. "Appreciation," in this context, means the understanding of the value and merit of different styles of music. Music appreciation classes also typically include information about the composers, the instruments and ensembles, and the different styles of music from an era. Music appreciation courses are widely available in universities and colleges. Typically, these courses are designed for non-music majors. A significant part of music appreciation courses is listening to recordings of musical pieces or excerpts from pieces such as symphonies, opera arias and concertos. In some music appreciation classes, the class may go out to hear a live musical performance by an orchestra or chamber music group."

Music appreciation is a division of musicology that is designed to teach students how to understand and describe the contexts and creative processes involved in music composition.

This study of music is classified in a number of ways, including (but not limited to) examining music literacy and core musical elements such as pitch, duration, structure, texture and expressive techniques.
