ARMA takes your students from print to digital in just one click.
ARMA is more than a textbook for music history and theory, since it offers a new way to think about music and musical styles. ARMA helps you to instill in your students a sense of discovery as they find the music you share with them, then use the commentaries to explore those pieces in more depth. As an instructor, you are their guide to dig deeper into the amount of information ARMA offers. A requisite piece of music may become a touchstone for your students when they discover a style or genre that excites their imaginations.
As their guide, you have the power to use ARMA to take your students to a unique world of music online!
The topography of that world is exciting:
- No more silent bibliographies! Use ARMA’s interactive ones to explore the resources at your institution and shape your students’ acumen for music information literacy!
- Engage your students with specialists in various periods, topics, composers, and pieces. Enjoy the nuanced voices of the diverse community of ARMA authors as they explore women in music, Black traditions, jazz, and other areas, along with game-changing articles on traditional eras by authors like Jonathan Rhodes Lee, Karen Cook, Jennifer Bain, Danielle Barrettara, and others!
- Bypass the limitations of print with a site that has the space for more! Use the resource pages to show your students more music, more commentaries, and more articles to fulfill their hunger for information that they can use to become better musicians.
Go further! Use the commentaries, too. See how tightly Schuman constructed his Carnaval, how musical and poetic structure intersect in early music by composers like Cornago and more. Immerse your students in the fresh perspectives that experienced musicians bring to their students with discussion of familiar works like Josquin’s Ave Maria.
ARMA is not a book. It’s a world of music to explore and share!
