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.

I enjoyed this class with Professor Buettner, and I would take another class with him. The class was fast paced, but there were always opportunities to ask questions and catch up. Everyone in the class comes from a different level musically, and so you could partially tailor the class to focus on specific interests of yours. The final also had a project option to let you be creative with what you learned.
