Customer Reviews

Wonderful introduction to music, not just for beginners!

This book is a deceptively simple overview of the fine art of music, from classical through jazz, folk, and rock with brief but surprisingly thorough definitions and timelines that exactly represent the history of these forms of music. Musicians, Music historians and casual listeners will all benefit from this fine cross section, which fulfils its endeavor, to assist in UNDERSTANDING music.
