Easy for a student with prior music experience, but a tough class for someone with none. Overall, the class is pretty straightforward. I had a great TA who was very accessible outside of class. Attendance is mandatory and is graded for both lectures and sections which can help boost your grade. Weekly assignments which are relevant to lecture.

This professor is so nice but the lectures are mandatory and insufferable. I did choir all of high school and can read music and I was literally lost in this class. Attendance is worth some of your grade, and there is a ton of homework. Spare yourself and take Music 15 instead.

This is the second course I've had with Professor Jurkowski. His classes are very easy and he wants you to succeed. I recommend his courses for GEs, even if the lectures can be boring at times.

Very accessible outside of class and very approachable. Just not a very helpful professor, assigns a lot of homework as if we don't have other courses we are taking, and then grades very harshly on it. Doesn't post any lectures, so if you miss class your are simply screwed. Just overall doesn't give you the tools you need to succeed normally.

Really easy class. Said in the syllabus that attendance was required but I never went to class once and got an A. All you have to do is take an online weekly 5 question quiz and alternate between a 300 word and 600 word response based on the weekly reading. The weekly reading is short and discussed in section too, sort of interesting, good GE.

Interesting lectures if you're interested in musical history at all! It doesn't stay on like 18th century guys the whole time, gets real interesting when it gets to the 20th century. Professor is enthusiastic and his lectures are great. Lots of short/informal papers.
