She is a very smart, agreeable, and cultured woman, and i really enjoyed mus119a despite having zero background in music or film. It was a great class for an art requirement, with a straightforward midterm/final and a 6-8 paper on the use of music in a political film (i choose Forrest Gump). I highly recommend this class, a bit of work got me an A

Prof. Hall was extremely hard to follow. If you have no previous background in music theory, lecture is ridiculously confusing.

Really cool class. Prof. Hall is a very nice lady and she makes the material somewhat interesting. Papers are straighforward, and both the midterm and final a pretty easy. Great way to get your music requirement out of the way.

Great teacher! Fun and very helpful. And most importantly: don't miss her party at her cottage in Montecito at the end of the quarter - her cooking skills are amazing!!!

Definitely a fun class, especially the 2nd half. It's not hard as long as you are somewhat interested in the topics and do the work she asks for and maybe a couple of extra credits. I loved all the film clips she showed and ended up renting most of them to watch the rest! Def. recommend!
