Welcome GCC Students
Below, you'll find Powerpoint lectures, study guides and other materials available to students of MHL153: Rock History, MHL145: Jazz History and the GCC Saxophone Studio.
For the Powerpoint Notes, simply click the subject that is relevant to the class day (this will be obvious as the class progresses), and your computer will download the file. All files are .pdf (Adobe Acrobat) files which should open on virtually any modern computer.
All other files are .doc files which should open in most word processing applications (Word, Goodle Docs, Pages...etc.).
If you need a different format to support your computer, see me after class or send me an email to make arrangements.
