YA 3 Book Series in Name that Book (October 2015)
Reviews
This is a book that I had to purchase for an introductory music class, and I like how it broke the history of music down by covering the broad ranges of music that have tied generations together. It naturally focuses on music from the United States, but it does give context of how certain genres originated as a whole. A great book for a student who is new to musical history.
