A music professor at a Nova Scotia university has turned the story of one of the most influential music groups of all time into a course.Kevin Brunkhorst, a music professor at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, N.S., is teaching a new course about the life and times of The Beatles.Sixty-six students have registered in the course that examines how the band was formed and its meteoric rise to become one of the biggest names and most influential groups in entertainment history.“It’s a story that nobody could have written, it’s too unlikely and that alone makes it worth having a class about,” says Brunkhorst.The class is held once a week and playing the Fab Four’s music, watching their videos and movies, and discussing the band’s influence on music and culture.“If I get too deep into the details of the music, the chords and the melody lines and sharps and flats and things like that, I will lose all of the students in the class that don’t have a musical background and I want this to be of general interest for everyone,” says Brunkhorst.
