Five structured courses covering centuries of musical thought — from oral traditions to recorded sound. Each program is self-contained, study in any order.
Music History Beginner to Intermediate
A focused course tracing music from ancient Greece and Mesopotamia through Gregorian chant and the first experiments with multi-voice composition in medieval Europe.
Includes all recordings, manuscript facsimiles, and written materials. No additional purchases required.
Music History Intermediate
An eight-week program examining the transformation of music from ornate Baroque counterpoint to the clean architectural logic of Haydn, Mozart, and early Beethoven.
Two live online sessions with the instructor are included. Recordings of all sessions are provided.
Music History Intermediate to Advanced
A deep look at 19th-century music — from Schubert lieder and Chopin nocturnes to Wagner's music dramas and the first stirrings of late Romantic excess.
Installment option: 2 payments of 2200 UAH. All materials included in both payment options.
Music History Intermediate to Advanced
From Stravinsky's Rite of Spring riots to the birth of recorded music and the rise of jazz as a serious art form — a course covering the most fractured and fertile century in music history.
Includes curated listening playlists, score excerpts, and three live group discussions with the instructor.
Music History Beginner to Intermediate
An introduction to the historical development of music in India, the Arab world, sub-Saharan Africa, East Asia, and Latin America — examined on their own terms, not as counterpoints to European classical music.
No prior music theory knowledge required. The course is self-contained and includes all necessary reference materials.
Music history makes more sense when you hear it. Every lecture at Carvalho Monteloro pairs written analysis with original recordings and primary sources — scores, letters, period accounts.
Sessions run between 40 and 90 minutes. There are no timed deadlines. You move through material when it suits your schedule, and you can return to any lecture as many times as needed.
From plainchant notation to the emergence of recorded formats, the programs span six recurring areas of study. Instructors return to these threads across different eras so patterns become visible over time.
