No knowledge of music was needed whatsoever. I think it's a really cool class if you're interested in visual art and like creative projects. We had a lot of freedom to experiment and at the end we collaborated with electronic music class for our final projects. Recommend!

This course is fun on paper, and a bit less fun in practice. I took it expecting to feel a bit more excited about the work. He assigns a ton of reading, but you literally don't have to do it in order to keep up in class discussions and weekly writing. The real heavy lifting is the 4-4 page paper you need to write each week, which can get pretty laborious and redundant. Definitely a pretty repetitive course, but you discover a ton of new music. Nash is great, but maybe not the best at facilitating a fruitful conversation. I didn't love the course, but didn't hate it either. It was nice to not have to do homework except for writing.

MUSC0101 with Larry Hamberlin14 days ago

This is a great class to take if you enjoy lots of different types of music. It covers everything from pop to classical to Hindustani and really helps you appreciate all the details of it. Other than readings, there is very little work. The exams are easy and you have to write a paragraph listening response every 2 chapters and write 2 responses to live events that you attend but everything is graded very leniently. Overall, a super fun and chill class to take if you enjoy music.
