With McGraw-Hill Connect® Music, students can experience music personally. Connect Music is the most successful digital platform in music: a truly integrated teaching and learning program that provides both one-click access to the program’s music selections and interactive exercises that focus on the listening process. Katherine Charlton has drawn on her extensive experience in the classroom to create a listening experience that motivates and engages students. Connect Music ensures that students can come to class confident and prepared, as they develop the active listening skills they need for success in the course and a lifetime of more meaningful musical experiences. Experience Personalized Playlists Recognizing musical elements in a piece a student has never heard before is a learned skill. Experience Music helps students develop that skill by providing an avenue into the musical elements through music they are already familiar with. McGraw-Hill has partnered with Spotify®, the service that allows you to stream music for free and build playlists containing your favorite songs. Experience Music On the Go In Connect Music, all the audio selections discussed in the text’s Featured Listenings and Listening Guides are available via a simple streaming player and through newly-designed interactive Listening Guides. The interactive Listening Guides provide a guided listening experience that trains the student listener’s ear by pointing out meaningful elements, themes, and instrumentation in each work. Now optimized for tablets, students can experience listening whenever and wherever they go.
