Music appreciation

Music appreciation

Music appreciation is teaching people what to listen for and to appreciate different types of music. Usually music appreciation classes involve some history lessons to explain why people of a certain era liked the music that they did.[1] "Appreciation," in this context, means the understanding of the value and merit of different styles of music.
