Neoclassical or New Age Music, is hard to define.  In the attempts to explain what it is, a list is compiled of what it is not.  Or the definition sounds more like an attempt at poetry or psychological analysis. 

Much of understanding music, and what kind you like, is understanding music itself.  You don’t have to be a scholar to appreciate music.  A few basics will help you recognize various qualities that you enjoy and will also help as you look for more music to enjoy.

I have found an article for you to read that will help in your understanding of basic musical terms and styles.  And you won’t have to be a musical scholar to understand it!  I recommend it for reading as you continue to pursue and enjoy your neoclassical music collection.
