Fun, educational overview of classical music. Great if you already know how to read sheet music, but they have other alternative visualizations in case you don't that are also quite compelling.

I loved this course. The professor was amazing and took his time getting the information across. It's great to learn from someone that you can tell has a passion for what they do. Thank you!

Craig is smart, articulate, and talented. I loved the videos in front of his class when he was demonstrating various musical concepts. I started losing interest when the focus switched from learning about music to answering questions about cities and dates. He's sparked my interest in learning more about the actual music, so I'm exploring YouTube videos and podcasts now devoted to that. If the class had stopped before the quizzes where I had to remember city names, I'd have given this 5 stars.

The content is interesting but the videos are quite long. Also, in the audit version all quizzes are blocked.

Not exactly, what I've expected, but one could learn a few new things. It is informative.

Over 70 quizzes! Not hard but tedious beyond belief. Pick your best questions, condense down to five or six tests, and this course is a four or five. Looks like the prof is unorganized and doesn't do know what is key to learning in his own course with this scatter approach to quizzes.

The course looks a lot like advertisement of a textbook. I don't have anything against ads, but ads are not very suitable for teaching.

What I've watched wasn't as what I expected.

I would give it 2 out of 5 as addressing my needs.
