About Us

Attention to Detail: The Classical Music Listening Guide is a podcast dedicated to helping everyone, regardless of musical experience, to build their own listening practice for classical music. We introduce several techniques on the podcast that engage the attention, curiosity, and intellect of listeners in a simple, tangible way. On the website, we have many supplementary materials that can help to build a routine for practicing the art of listening, suggestions for specific composers and pieces that are of particular interest, and listening guides.
