America's Musical Landscape Details
About the Author After receiving her MA in Music History and Literature at Arizona State University, Jean Ferris taught Music History and Appreciation at ASU. In addition to her work at the University, she has been involved with the music community by serving as a church choir director, singing with the Phoenix Symphony Chorale, playing the organ, and touring to Japan with her high school handbell choir--apparently the first handbell choir to perform in that country. Ferris is the author of two books: Music: The Art of Listening and America's Musical Landscape. Read more
Reviews
This was a great companion to any of the editions of America's Musical Landscape. Use it in a CD player in a car that still has one; then, watch the Youtube on any of the music that you hear and you will get a good feel for what American Roots Music and classes are about.
