Notice the sale price. Get it. If you do, know that Greenberg is
married with children. This knowledge will relieve some (some) of the
homo vibe distraction. Most importantly, the guy's teaching ability is
awesome. Aside from my father, I've never heard anyone else who can
speak so articulately about music.

Counterpoint is to music what calculus is to math. Students avoid
them even though they are fundamental to basic competence.

There is no calulus in music just simple arithmatic. Sometimes people
can't see the trees through the forest. For a guy who professes to
know so much math etc. your pretty darn clueless.

Please, knowledge of much math doesn't preclude error. Einstein is an
excellent example. He failed to embrace either Plato or Catholicism.
