The Prelude to Appreciation The Prelude to Appreciation was very interesting to me. It taught me the steps of music appreciation. There is a lot more than just listening to music‚ even though everyone has different taste in music you can learn to like different kinds of music by knowing the history of it and understanding the background behind it.
