Do you know absolutely nothing about Classical Music, but want to impress the girl/boy/person of your desires by showing off just how cultured and educated you are? Well you've came to the right place.

In just one 50 minute-ish episode, I'll teach you everything you need to know about the history of Western Classical Music from 1600 to present day. From all the fancy foreign words, to the 4 big eras of Western Classical Music; I've got the lot covered for you.

(And for those who are already musicians, enjoy taking off your artist glasses and rediscovering music history with the sparkly eyes that we all once had.)
