Anyone who is interested in:
- History - How did the people of the past see the world?
- Music - What kinds of music did people of the past write and enjoy?
- Culture - What did the lives of people of the past look like?
(you don't need to know much about any of the above!)

You'll learn about the music and music creators of the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic Eras. You'll listen to a range of celebrated masterworks and lesser-known-but-hugely-important pieces of music from these eras - we're sure you'll find yourself tapping your toes and swaying along to some great tunes!
-
Each lesson has an attractive, easy-to-understand PDF text-and-images document with everything you need to know (well, to get you started on your learning and listening journey!)!
After the main learning content, you'll find carefully selected musical excerpts to listen to, with a brief description.
At the end of each section, you'll take a quiz - how much can you remember about each era?
Note: We may add video elements in the future, as we know many people will benefit from this!

Well, that all depends! We recommend an optimum timeline of one to two weeks to really reap the benefits, completing 1-2 lessons per day and taking time to explore and listen to more music beyond what is included in this course. Of course, it is entirely up to you! You could complete it in a day, a month, a year...
