Authors Terry E. Miller and Andrew Shahriari take students around the world to experience the diversity of musical expression. World Music: A Global Journey, now in its third edition, is known for its breadth in surveying the world’s major cultures in a systematic study of world music within a strong pedagogical framework.
As one prepares for any travel, each chapter starts with background preparation, reviewing the historical, cultural, and musical overview of the region. Visits to multiple ‘sites’ within a region provide in-depth studies of varied musical traditions. Music analysis begins with an experimental "first impression" of the music, followed by an "aural analysis" of the sound and prominent musical elements. Finally, students are invited to consider the cultural connections that give the music its meaning and life.

Alexander tapped Mr. Hoarsely’s shell. “Did monsters send us these boxes?” Mr. Hoarsely stuck his neck out. “Monsters?! I don’t know — and I don’t want to know!” he said. “I’ve got my own problems! I had packed Ms. Vanderpants’ telescope, but it’s missing! And my dustpan is gone, too!” He shuffled off. “More missing stuff?” said Rip. “Maybe you’re not crazy, Salamander. ” “Yeah . . . your dad’s mirror, Mr. Plunkett’s projector, and now this,” said Nikki. “Something is up.” “I agree!”

It was large, but very light. “It looks like a birthday present!” said Alexander’s dad. “It can’t
