This course will become read-only in the near future. Tell us at community.p2pu.org if that is a problem.
This collaborative study group is meant for anyone who wants to know more about classical music. We will participate in three ways:
Read about the history of classical music, composers, instruments, and etc.
Listen to classical pieces.
Write about your reactions and thoughts to the piece you listened to and share these ideas for continued discussion.

This is a collaborate task wherein we, as a group, will choose the next piece to listen to and comment upon. Please add one or two pieces to this task. After we've reached a critical mass I'll create and send out a poll.
