Introducing the World’s First Living and Breathing (and Breathtaking) Music

Appreciation Textbook

With a refreshing new approach to the topic, The Ninth Muse is about to turn the world of music appreciation textbooks upside down. It follows a chronological narrative, from the Pleistocene era, when the avian dinosaurs which still surround us had likely developed their own form of “music,” down to the present time. New concepts and terms are only introduced as they become relevant. The 4,000 page online page-flipping textbook is fully searchable, printable, and embedded with instructional videos. And there are all the goodies to go with it. A gorgeous responsive website, fully integrated with the textbook, has everything for classroom, hybrid, or online course delivery, and student use 24/7/365 on any computer or portable device. An online multimedia pronouncing lexicon contains over 1,000 entries. A Blackboard Learning System cartridge provides instructors with examination pools and students with fully accessible study materials. And of course, there is an APP. And best of all…because the materials are periodically reviewed and updated, there will never be a new edition. Never!

“Perhaps, said Kretschmar, it was music’s deepest desire not to be heard at all, nor even to be seen, nor felt, but, if that were possible, to be perceived and contemplated in a purely spiritual realm, beyond the senses, and even the mind.”

Thomas Mann: Doctor Foustus
