This ebook edition by Jonathan Kulp, 2017
Understanding Music is a CC-licensed Music Appreciation Textbook from GALILEO Open Learning Materials. I decided to make my own edition of this book because I was very much interested in adopting a free, Creative-Commons-licensed Music Appreciation textbook, but the only format in which it is available from Galileo is PDF, which is inappropriate for small devices and does not meet basic accessibility requirements such as the ability to change the font size. If you would like to download the original PDF, please visit their page. (NOTE: If you are one of my students, please do not download this PDF, as it is riddled with typographical and factual errors.) Various formats of my edition are available below in the download table. My Edition features embedded audio players where there were links to MP3s in the original file. The web page version has embedded videos, but so far I haven’t figured out how to embed YouTube videos in the Epub format. I’m working on that.
