Bettina Matthias

This course wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but I believe that this course could've been something much bigger than it was. The professor is great, very accommodating, and I would probably like being in one of the German courses she teaches. It's just the course felt stale, and there wasn't anything exciting to look for, even from a musical aspect. I was interested in the class at the start of the term, but slowly drifted away and started to feel less and less interested in the topics discussed. Fantastic teacher, but a class about the cultural history of the piano might not be the same as what you think it might be.

Bettina is a lovely person, with the fun quirk you love to have as a teacher. However, the course felt underdeveloped and was very boring. Funnily enough, throughout the semester, it made me like the piano less. I would probably take a German course with Bettina in the future, but I don't suggest her for a course outside of her specialty. For incoming first-years, don't add this course to your batch selection, if it's even an option.

Bettina is the best person you could have to teach this course. It is relatively fast paced, but she will explain everything clearly and take any extra time that you need to catch you up. She is so so nice.
