This is is a great book for speedily traveling through the history of Western music. However, although this is an "outline," if you knew everything in this book, you'd know more than the average recipient of a bachelor's degree in music about music history. If your concentration was music history, maybe not. But, maybe.

Read the rest of the review on my blog, and don't forget to listen to my relaxing, dulcet compositions as you read!

Read the complete essay here.

Very dry if you are taking notes. Once you stop taking notes, it goes much faster. Not a book I would recommend for someone looking to get into the nitty gritty of music history, but definitely great for an intro/review of it. It's a great resource for future music educators looking to pass their state content tests.

My Daddy had this book for college I believe and I started reading it a few days ago. I read the contents and it is suppose to cover a lot of music history.
