Introduction to Music provides readers with a survey of the world of music as a means by which to enjoy it more fully. Rather than bog students down with 500-700 pages of text and 400 composers, this approach sticks to the essentials. Simultaneously, it provides further study resources for students who would like to go further in depth. It integrates links to audio and view examples directly in the eText to even further streamline the student experience.

Glossary
Robert Willey received his MA degree in computer music and PhD in theoretical studies from the University of California, San Diego. After assisting a music technology exchange program for five years between UCSD's Center for Music Experiment, Stanford University, and a studio in Buenos Aires funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, he spent two years in Brazil as a Fulbright Scholar and visiting professor. After returning to the U.S. Willey taught popular music theory, computer literacy, and rock band at the State University of New York - Oneonta for three years and then spent ten years at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette teaching music theory, technology, synthesis, recording, live sound, music appreciation, music industry, and jazz combo. At BSU he teaches music business, songwriting, and senior projects.
He has published books on Creole fiddle, Brazilian piano, music technology, music industry, music appreciation, and the history of Rock and Roll. Other interests include playing keyboards, composing, producing, facilitating community music, arranging the music of Scott Joplin and Conlon Nancarrow, and time management.
Introduction to the Music Industry by Robert Willey is an excellent publication, which could be used for both an introductory "Music Business I" course as well as the second semester course. I especially like the resources shared and the sections called "For Further Investigation" and "Do It Yourself" which appear at the end of the chapters. These sections offer ideas for projects and further research!
