Question
Hello.  I am Yuta, Japanese college student.  
I really like The Beatles, so I want to talk about them in my college music class. I know about them a little bit, but I want to have more great Idea.  Therefore, could you tell me about The Beatles music style?  
I want to know How has their style changed from the biginnings to the end of their careers.  and which their song shows the differences and how?

Please teach me something about them great.  
Thanks.  Yuta  

Answer
Hi Yuta.
I must say that your question requests a book to be answered.
So that I'd suggest you to get the following one:
"Revolution in the head - The Beatles' records and the Sixties" by Ian McDonald in which you will find an introductive essay on their music and society in the Sixties and an in deep analysis on each song issued by the group.
Hope it helps.

I`m an italian Beatle fan who`s been studying, playing, reading The Beatles for more than twentyfive years. I can answer about recording sessions, lyrics, biography, instruments and more. I`ve been playng bass guitar and their music for years and know pretty much about their music and composition. I own a double complete discography (on vinil and on cd) and lots of books about them. I regret not to be so expert about their films and personal careers, but I think I can answer nearly any question about their life and music in the period 1940 - 1970.

Experience

Usually, no Trivia on The Beatles leaves me without words. Moreover I've been playing bass guitar and their music for nearly twenty years and I can discuss on this matter quite deeply. Please no questions about vintage Lps', collectors items' or memorabilia value.
