5.0

My partner is a classically trained percussionist. Everytime he talks about classical music, my eyes glaze over. This book is perfectly written for people like me who just want to “get the whole classical music” thing. The author does a great job of explaining classical music, its history, and famous composers at a 101 level, without making the reader feel talked down to. She also gives great music recommendations that help you learn as you read. 10/10 recommend!
