About the Author

Katherine Charlton Calkins teaches in the music department at Mt. San Antonio College where she spent eight years on the all-college general education committee and then served as chair of the music department for the following ten years. During a yearlong sabbatical in 2007-2008 she studied women composers and compiled biographies, recordings, and listening guides, which she made available to her colleagues to help them add more women to their music appreciation and history classes. As a performer, she has a degree in classical guitar from California State University at Fullerton. She toured in Southern France and Tuscany, playing lute with an early music group led by her late, first husband Andrew Charlton and his friend Gloria Ramsey, both well known in the field of early music. Calkins also played percussion and toured in Japan with the CSUF Wind Ensemble. She got her M.A. in music history and has continued with further graduate study in that same field. As a teacher, she started the guitar program at Mt. San Antonio College, where she continues to teach music history, music appreciation, and history of rock music. Her first book, Rock Music Styles: A History, is now out in its ninth edition, published by McGraw Hill Higher Education. Experience Music is her second book.

This was a fun book to read about how and when rock and roll got started. It also explains how different genres of rock got started. The only thing I did not like was the index. A couple of the things you would look up was not where it was supposed to be. I would have liked more in depth, however, this book covered artists that got started in other rock genres and how they influenced other artists today. I enjoyed reading!

Book was required. Writing seems lazy.

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2020

This was a required text book.

As far as the author goes i have read her credentials but i would like to take a class from her about Rock and Roll history. The book seemed lazy and covers time periods introduced in highly imbalanced consistency. Most of the chapters seemed like they introduced a few years or decades and moved on to a new subject or merges subjects that deserve their own chapter into two like punk and new wave or reggae and ska. While these may be similar they all deserved more than 3-4 paragraphs.

I didnt like the book it was dull and underinforming. I took a rock and roll history class in 8th grade and learned more than my college class.
