"In Exploring Latin American music, Carol A. Hess offers a completely new approach to the human experience as a point of departure for musical and cross-cultural understanding. Students explore topics such as music and identity, music and the body, music and religion, and other broad themes. Guided by Hess's brisk and engaging writing, they gain fluency with musical concepts and cultural-historical contexts. A detailed instructor packet contains sample quizzes, clicker questions, and creative, classroom-tested assignments. Experiencing Latin American music empowers instructors from a variety of disciplines to offer a class that is increasingly relevant in today's diverse society"--Provided by publisher.
