Marsalis on Music

Previously available in VHS video format, this acclaimed series is now available as a four-DVD boxed set. Wynton Marsalis is a strong and respected voice in music education. Here, with the help of Seiji Ozawa, Yo-Yo Ma and the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra, he presents a thrilling four-part seminar of music appreciation and understanding. Marsalis On Music presents students with a thorough and engaging look at music fundamentals including: Rhythm (when there's no rhythm, there's no music); Form and Style (the great composers did have a plan!); Musical Language and Manners (how musicians communicate); Tackling the Practice Monster and much, much more! The new DVD format includes full chaptering, allowing for quick and accurate use in a classroom environment. A detailed series chapter summary booklet is included, with a DVD-ROM function that allows the booklet to be reprinted as needed. The DVDs are closed-captioned for the hearing impaired.
