Max Stern (DMA 89)
Sterns bookhas been published by Nova Academic Publishers. Its based on my reviews as music critic for The Jerusalem Post from 1988-2020, says Stern. If it were not for my studies at the CU Boulder College of Music, this book would never have been written. It was the coursework I did in American Music with Professor William Kearnsand the academic papers under Professor Karl Kroeger and Professor Richard Toensingthat gave me the skill and background in writing, critical thinking and evaluation to become a music critic.
