I would welcome your comments.

I wonder what you mean by classical music. Most people seem to think it's
the Eric Robinson, easy-listening, music-down-the-middle, kind of music.

As a music graduate, and an ex-teacher of students up to university level
(and currently a music examiner) I can probably give you some help in
"understanding" it. You may need it! ;-)

Thank you David.

I have been emailed and told I have used the wrong word. Not
'understanding', but 'Introduction and Appreciation'.

Is that better David?

No, not really. Remember what Sir Thomas Beecham said, "The British
don't understand music, they just like the noise it makes."
