Dear Listeners,

Today we’ll listen to the symphony. When you hear a symphony, you’re listening to a certain structure. What makes a symphony memorable is when it does something revolutionary within that structure. The greats–like Beethoven–left such a mark on the structure that it made people ask questions about what it means to be human.

Life is more engaging when you know how to look at it, listen to it, read it. Today we’ll learn how to listen to a symphony. That way it will be more than a collection of sounds. It will be a story.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
