Hello and welcome!

I decided to make this course with the purpose of giving tools: tools to make everyone able to better explore Classical Music on their own in a simple, straight-forward, non-technical way that anyone can follow, while remaining culturally rich and practically useful.

We will discuss four major topics:

– the timeline of classical music: the four periods and the major styles that make the history of music, as well as the most important composers;

– music’s triple nature: the three elements music itself is made of and how they are connected;

– the genres: the most common words you are going to find within the world of classical music, focusing on the different type of pieces most often played;

– the orchestra: we will get familiar with all the instruments found in a large symphonic orchestra, learning to recognize their sound, their characteristics and personality.

Since I am allergic to too much theory, I took some time to add a couple of in-depth music appreciation lectures, to integrate the informative ones.
You will be amazed at what treasures are hidden within even a single minute of great music. If you are skeptical about this, come in and see. You won’t be disapponted!
