I have been interested in classical music for many years. I took piano lessons from 3rd through 12th grade and played works by some of the great composers. However, I never had the opportunity to learn the details of their musical styles. It was something that I had always hoped to learn more about, so I was very happy to take this class.
Since taking this class, I have developed a much deeper appreciation for both classical music and the great composers (my favorite composers are now Beethoven and Haydn). Now when I listen to this great music I have a better understanding of how it came to be, and this leads to a greater level of enjoyment.
