Reviews
Finding out that this required textbook was not necessary since the professor posted all of the information they wanted us to know did not allow me to truly appreciate it. What I did read on my own I liked. It was informative and seemed well detailed concerning the different musical periods. No need to buy the music CDs that go with the text. Go to You Tube, the way our professor did, and listen to the music that way.
