Appreciation of Pop Music [EPUB ebook] 

"Pop music, in its development over more than a hundred years, has gradually formed its own vast musical system, distinct from classical music and folk music. We have written the textbook ‘Appreciation of Pop Music’ to enable the younger generation to systematically understand the history and stylistic evolution of pop music over the past century, to understand the stylistic characteristics of various pop music genres, and to enhance the learners’ cognitive level and cultural literacy in pop music."
