Watch, Listen, and Learn is a music appreciation text that challenges students to think and engages them with questions to which there are no right or wrong answers, or perhaps no answers at all.
Available as a webtext, Watch, Listen, and Learn features:
- a syllabus.
- study guides for each chapter.
- quizzes and chapter summaries for every chapter.
- unit tests, and a gradebook.
- a comprehensive glossary and flash cards.
Why a webtext instead of an ebook? The answer is that, unlike a hardcopy book or an ebook, everything that is needed for the course is included in the text. As you will see the book has built into it a syllabus, study guides for each chapter, quizzes and chapter summaries for every chapter, unit tests, and a gradebook, as well as a comprehensive glossary and flash cards.

Glossary
"Dr. Lambert’s discussion of art/music is the best definition and description of “art” I have encountered in any text. The introductions to each historical section provided great insight into the role music plays in culture at large, and in specific cultures. Using internet visuals and music clips really add to the enjoyment, depth and retention of the material. This is truly a work that will educate a broad student population."
