| Books About Music Virtually any song or musical work is a work of collaboration between a group of people. And whenever people have to work together on a passion project, there are juicy stories. Behind-the-scenes peeks are but one benefit of reading nonfiction about music. Some genres of music, like classical and opera, can really benefit from context if you didn't grow up listening to them or performing them. And even music you're very familiar with may have connections to history and culture that you've never known about. Books truly enrich the experience of listening to music. If you have an interest in developing a new taste within music, it's definitely possible, and reading up first can help. Likewise, deepening knowledge about music you already love is fun. In any case, keep your streaming music service of choice close at hand when you read. Sometimes you'll need to set these books down and listen. Courtesy of Book Riot-check out these titles |
