MUSC1055 with Larry Hamberlinlast month

I took this during J Term. It was a very easy class to get an A in, with lots of extra credit and easy assignments. Overall though, I found Professor Hamberlin to be quite boring during lectures. However, there is no participation grade so you can just skip if you want a few times and get away with it.

MUSC0260 with Matthew Taylor4 months ago

Professor Matthew Taylor acknowledges the fact that music theory as often taught in the western world is very Eurocentric. To combat this, Professor Matthew Taylor barely teaches any music theory at all. Instead, we listen to unbearable art music every single class hour and discuss how we each feel about them. Never do we actually really analyze any of these pieces. For those who actually want to learn Music Theory: they would do much better watching videos on YouTube.

MUSC0160 with Su Tan4 months ago

Professor Su is clearly an experienced musician and composer. She does, however, clearly have a preference for composing and sometimes can emphasize more on that. She also does stray from the topic often, and can get very philosophical, but nevertheless she is a wonderful and sweet Professor. It is a relatively easy and reasonably paced course - particularly if you know a bit of music theory prior. However, if you have no background in music, that is okay too.
