Hello and welcome!

The Listener’s Guide is YouTube’s premiere educational channel about classical music. It is designed to make the art form accessible to inexperienced listeners and to young artists who wish to learn more about it. This includes videos containing:

  • Explanations of musical structures
  • Walkthroughs of well-known pieces
  • Explanations of the cultural and historical context of music
  • Profiles of composers and musicians
  • Reviews and recommendations

So why do you need my money?

Unfortunately, at the present, this ambitious channel is a one-man operation, and its creator has neither the funds nor the time to match his desired output with his actual capacity for creation. This is where you, the beloved viewer, come in! Your donation to the channel will help him create more of the content that he wants to make, up to the standard at which he wants to make it, which will then provide you with more and better content to watch!

Okay, but what will you use it for?

Your funds will go toward:

  • Music licensing, for higher-quality and more relevant musical examples
  • Professional editing, for better and more frequent videos
  • Inviting accomplished professionals as guests on the show
  • Traveling to interesting and influential places, both from history and in the modern classical community

With your donation, we can make this project a high-quality resource for music educators, students, and audiences around the world!

Thank you for your continued support!
