Meilleurs avis pour HISTOIRE DU ROCK, PARTIE 2
Continuing from Part One, the History of Rock course segues into the music scene of 70s and beyond. A thoroughly enjoyable course for anyone interested in any form of music in general.
Great information, but the instructor's delivery is offputting....he talks so fast, there's alot of inaudible words, etc.
This was a fun course and motivates to seek out Part One of the History of Rock. The instructor did a great job to take us on this historical journey.
Fascinating - really filled out my knowledge and understanding and introduced me to new music - despite having lived through much of the history. Enjoyed the laid back but informed videos.
