Su Tan

Su will push the bounds of your creativity in this course. There are 3 or 4 assignments throughout the semester that correspond to different units. You will look at music in a very unorthodox way, but Su helps you work through new sounds and concepts. She is very passionate about her teaching and a very talented musician.

As a non-Music major/minor, I took this class purely out of curiosity and to distance myself from my usual STEM classes. She is extremely passionate about chamber music and it's really fun to be in class with her. For this class, you need to attend 3 concerts in order to write 3 response papers (very easy) and the rest of the grade comes from your final performance. You have to try extremely hard not to get an A, so if you play a chamber music instrument, I highly recommend taking this class.

Su is very passionate about music and pushing students to move out of their comfort zones. If you take this class, be prepared to write some pieces that are really weird! This class definitely broadened the horizons of what I thought music could be, and I think going into very experimental techniques taught me a lot about how to make more traditional styles of music exciting. As long as you participate in class and take risks with your compositions, you'll be fine in this class.
