Students will get...

In-depth written materials on each musical period and composer of note through the beginning of the twentieth century.

High-quality performances of the music throughout the written material, as well as audio and video playlists of recommended recordings.

Quizzes, regular journaling, research assignments, and thematic projects to go toward a 1/2 HS Elective Credit (fine art, music, art appreciation, or humanities).

Take an exciting tour through the development of Western music.

This new online class merges the history of composers and their works with engaging video performances. It also provides audio playlists and recommendations for building your own listening library of classical music.

We designed this course for students without any musical training. But it can also provide a robust historical guide for music students wanting to connect the dots between periods, composers, instruments, and performance styles.
