Professor Simon is super chill and this class was also very chill. There are readings but they are pretty short and manageable. Overall, this class was an enjoyable and easy class that was great to fill a requirement and do something different than the tough major classes.

Intro to Music is an easygoing class that provides a solid introduction to basic musical concepts and the history of Western music. Most sessions are lecture-based, with Professor Simon walking through different musical eras, followed by listening to and discussing representative pieces as a group. Grades are mainly based on projects completed outside of class, along with attendance. While it can feel a bit slow at times, it’s a nice, low-pressure break from more demanding STEM courses.

Intro to Music is a super chill class that gives a good overview of basic musical concepts and western music history. Class tends to be a lecture where Professor Simon describes a certain musical era and then we listen to examples of pieces from that time period and discuss them as a class. The grades are mostly from outside of class projects along with attendance. Can be a bit boring sometimes but it is a good break from my STEM classes.
