Description

"Why and how does music make us feel emotions" The author offers unique perspectives in this collection of music essays and lectures, which should appeal to people who have music training such as music courses, piano lessons, school band, orchestra or chorus participation. The ability to read music notation will help, but any intellectually curious person who loves music and enjoys philosophical ideas will find value here.
