Su is a very nice person. Also, it is clear, both from her credentials and lectures, that she is extremely knowledgeable. She is a wonderful flautist and composer, and clearly has an immense passion for music. I enjoyed her class very much. I learned a lot from her, much of which I still employ when listening to music.

This class was very easy for someone coming from a music background. I needed it for the minor but only learned a little bit about music theory since I knew some before. I did learn about minor scales and inversions which was helpful.

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.

Su loves music and definitely knows her stuff, but her lectures stray from the topic almost all the time. I personally felt like the TA knew how to explain things better than she did. If I were completely new to music theory, I would have struggled in the class. The class is low effort and pretty easy to get a good grade in though, so if you’re looking for a relatively easy art credit to get but also learn something from it, this would be it
