Accent on Composers, Volume 1

A complete music appreciation course in one, 120-page, reproducible book/CD package.

The CD contains a listening example for each composer. The reproducible listening guide includes information about each listening example and a second by second "what to listen for in the music." Also included are reviews (tests) for each composer, plus more than two dozen pages of supplementary material. And it's all reproducible! Composers: Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Copland, Debussy, Dvor
