As a non-musical person I found this
book very helpful. It has simple things you can do to help nurture and encourage your child's musicality.
Lots of info on how to choose a music teacher and when to start lessons and how to get kids to practice that isn't very relevant to me right now. This will be a good resource as my child grows.

As a parent who has never had music lessons myself, I found this to be an excellent guide. I wish I had read it before my daughter chose her first instrument and started lessons because it has great advice on choosing an instrument, what a practice session should look like and what to do with a difficult piece. I highly recommend this for parents.
Robert Cutietta's advice is founded in both common sense and research, the experience of student, parent and teacher. He writes clearly, has a few fun line drawings to illustrate his points, and provides a timely insight into "the music education world" for any parent who wants to start their kid off on the right musical foot. What more can you ask for in a book like this?

I fall some place in the middle of that spectrum of classical listeners and also probably ranks classical as my fourth or fifth favorite genre, so this book serves to fill in a lot of gaps in my knowledge. I have been surprised that some of the answers have made me think about other genres, in particular bands and musicians I have known, and how similar some of the hidden rules and regs seem to be. Though without the history and tradition of classical music.
In addition to helping make better informed listeners the book also brings a new appreciation to all aspects of classical music as both music and as a performance/entertainment business in the 21st century. Quite a lot goes into every single performance and so often the listener just thinks about that brief interlude of the performance itself.
I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in classical music at any level. I also think people involved with other types of music will enjoy this and gain a new appreciation for the music and performance of classical music.
