Welcome to the Music Appreciation class. I know you are all here to broaden your tastes in music and to discover which types of music you prefer most. We′ll do that by looking at several categories of music and disparate composers′ styles. We′ll also look at the development of musical instruments throughout history. The textbook for this class is available at the college bookstore, and I urge you to buy it and start reading it right away. At the end of the semester, we′ll have the opportunity to attend a concert of the City Symphony Orchestra. Unfortunately, I am not able to obtain free tickets for you, but I can get them at a twenty-five percent discount so you′ll only have to pay thirty dollars each. Please let me know before you leave class today whether or not you are interested in this opportunity.
