Film Music: An Introduction in 11 Takes is an introduction to film music that is global in scope as well as practical in outlook, featuring dozens of interviews with film industry insiders. This textbook teaches today's student how to better understand the conventions of film music in a global and musical context. Film Music's practical approach introduces students to a range of topics; each chapter features a full-length interview with one music professional, discussion of a musical product specific to the chapter's time period (like sheet music or DVD), one composer, one singer, a film genre, a musical instrument and two countries outside the United States.
