Bridget's feedback:

"This is a lucid and efficient presentation, and your writing is dynamic, keeping the reader engaged across the pages. While necessarily taking the form of an overview, the argumentation, use of detail, and authorial ethos convey your knowledge of the topic; the reader feels they are in good hands and will come away better informed.

My first main comment is regarding paragraphing, which has a tendency toward inconsistent length. While not a problem in and of itself, I spot several moments where a shift in the discussion could be better marked out for the reader with a new paragraph (e.g., "The origins of classical music can be traced..." [para. 1]; "Probably the best known North Indian instrument is the Sitar"...); this will help the reader navigate the nuances of the discussion and will assert more control over the structure itself.

As a second note, I'm curious what further discussion of the claim in the final sentence would look like, either after that current ending or within the body."
