S0E1 - Learning Zone Part 1

A special reversion of Howard Goodall's Story of Music that provides a unique resource for schools across the UK. In the first hour of the series that traces the story of music from 32,000 BC to present day, composer Howard Goodall looks back at the very first faltering steps humankind took towards making music. Today music is available everywhere, at the press of a button. A thousand years ago it was an eerie whisper in a desert of silence. And yet music has always been a crucial part of human existence. In The Age of Discovery, Howard Goodall charts the development of many of the techniques musicians now take for granted. The arrival of a workable form of musical notation, the introduction of new note combinations and the development of more sophisticated musical instruments all gave music a much needed shot in the arm. In The Age of Invention, Howard Goodall looks at the extraordinarily fertile musical period between 1650 and 1750.
