This is way to short. I wish there more information on each type of music. Not just short sentences. I also wanted examples of what each type of music. I also don't know a lot of the examples instruments maybe put in pictures of each.

Your information is really good, but we were wondering which specific instruments and composers Shakespeare would have used for the music for his plays? If he incorporated any music full of spite and anger, we warrant that we would attend.

I thought that although your information was correct and well organized I would of enjoyed more information regarding the types of music and the reasons they were so popular. I did enjoy that you added visuals to help display music in a Elizabethan era.
