Reviews
this book contains a lot of information that is useful if your junior high or high school student is interested in music and the history of composers and your school is not offering a textbook with their music program. If you are home schooling I would think it would be good but it's a little more old fashion with not a lot of full color catch your eye "candy" pictures. I do recommend it though. My jr high student has already started reading it at home.
