This is a very chill course especially for those with prior musical experiences. The lectures are mostly about music/art history, but the history part doesn't affect your grade much. Actually, as long as you attend every class and complete every task (which are extremely easy and short) you get full marks. Great course to fulfill distribution requirements

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.
