Summary
Welcome to Season 7 of Sticky Notes! I'm often asked: “I want to get into classical music, but where do I start?” Today is my attempt to answer that question! Western Classical Music is an umbrella term that stretches over 1500 years of music, and there is an infinite variety to choose from. Today, we'll take a quick look at all 6 "periods" of classical music, from the Medieval, to the Renaissance, to the Baroque, to the Classical, to the Romantic, and the Contemporary. This episode is meant for beginners as well as lovers of classical music!

| 0:52.1 | big welcome to you as well. One quick bit of housekeeping to get out of the way is to answer a question I've gotten a few times which is what happened to all the older episodes? |
| 1:02.7 | Well, I took most of seasons 1 to 5 down a few months ago |
| 1:06.4 | in order to re-record those episodes in better sound quality |
| 1:09.7 | and also to tweak and even completely rewrite some of those episodes. Today's season 7 premiere is one of those |
| 1:16.1 | episodes, actually the sixth episode I ever made, a history of classical music in 60 minutes. I've made quite a few changes to the show including putting of rather than just off of my computer. This show was originally geared towards |
| 1:34.5 | beginners, but for my longtime listeners or classical music experts, I'll tell you that |
| 1:38.9 | I learned a ton while writing this show a few years ago myself, and I think it's just as enjoyable for |
| 1:44.4 | lovers of classical music as it is for newcomers. |
| 1:47.9 | Over the next weeks, I'll also be re-uploading my medieval Renaissance and Baroque music in 60 Minutes episodes, as well as bringing new episodes |
