No, what I was looking for was something in the way of music appreciation. I was trying to indicate I wanted something that would let me hear what different musical terms meant as well as offer an introduction to different kinds of music. Aaron Konstam's suggestion of starting at child's level seemed to touch on what I meant. However when it comes to the best means to learn about music/sound/noise, I am necessarily in the hands of others. -- Regards Bill Fedora 11, Gnome 2.26.3 Evo.2.26.3, Emacs 23.1.1 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
