What is Genres?

Genres is a textbook that discusses 34 popular Western music genres spanning over 100 years. It is a language learning textbook for Japanese, Korean, and Chinese learners but can also be used by native English speakers to simply learn more about music. Although it is mainly an intermediate to high level multi-skill English language textbook, the materials are so engaging that native speakers can even enjoy and learn from its contents. In addition to discussing each style of music, Genres also recommends songs and albums as well. Included are approximately 500 song recommendations, hand-picked by a well-versed music enthusiast to best represent the genres discussed. Genres also recommends a number of films to help learners understand the genre in more depth.
