Description:

Written for use as an introductory music fundamentals text or as an elements-based appreciation text, Developing Musical Intuitions is designed to help students become active and engaged music makers---listeners, performers, and creators---by teaching them how to reflect and build upon their own powerful musical intuitions and their existing understanding of musical culture. The book is packaged with an audio CD of listening examples and the groundbreaking software application Impromptu, which enables students to carry out projects in which they discover and build their own understanding of the universe of music.
