Discover the fascinating development of music through the years and study over 80 different composers! This gorgeous, hardcover book is a core part of the Beautiful Feet Music Appreciation course but can also be used on its own.

Whether learning to recognize the sounds of Medieval or Renaissance music or identifying Baroque and Romantic melodies from the Classical period – get ready for a sweet-sounding treat! Thick, glossy pages are packed with colorful pictures of people, culture, and instruments – from the shofar, lyre, and conch shell trumpet of ancient days to the piccolo and bagpipes of modern times. Read it from cover-to-cover or reference it as needed through the years. A perfect way to instill music appreciation into your family! Also beautiful for the coffee table or as a gift! 160 pages, hardcover.
Note about religious content: Since this book traces the development of music throughout time, and many composers wrote religious music or were influenced by their faith, religious influences are covered as a part of that journey.
