Really interesting class- Miller is passionate and very well educated on the subject. Important: you may struggle without any prior music experience.

Comment:
If you chose to take this class for an easy A, choose another class. The description of this class said that no knowledge of music or music theory is required, but if you do not have any prior experience, this class will be very difficult. Definitely an interesting class, but not easy at all. Being in class is definitely necessary to do well.

Comment:
Took a class of his as a non-art major. One of the biggest mistakes in college so far. It was a time sink. H made us read a ton of nonsense to claim that this field was deeply rooted in music history. The class was designed by him. Read some terrible book, The Music of Painting by Vergo. It was a nightmare. The class had little actual content.

Comment:
Make sure you read the book and do the assignments! There are one or two assigned per class session and each takes about forty-five minutes to do but they're well worth it. Prof Miller wrote the book but it clearly explains all the concepts covered in class. He's extremely approachable and personable. His class lacks musical discrimination.

This class was medium-hard because he wrote the book. He is very passionate and knowledgeable, but will call on you as soon as he sees your eyes glaze over...

Comment:
I have mixed feelings for this prof. He's no doubt extremely smart, and willing to help, yet he can be very unclear what he wants. Lots of non-traditional music, and you have to write A LOT on it. I don't think his book was helpful enough a lot of times to learn. More like a theory class then how to write about music effectively.

Comment:
DM wrote his own book, and it can be hard to follow. His format in class is mainly question and answer, but much of the time he is a little vague and is trying to point you to a very specific conclusion. Sometimes his questions seem painfully easy when they're asked and then you realize you didn't answer the way he wanted.

He is a great teacher. He makes sure everyone is on task by calling on you at least 5 times each class. Be prepared. He will know if you're studying or not. Very informative and there are many fun projects. You will learn a great deal.

Comment:
This guy is the reason the music tech program exists and the reason that it is in such a sad state. This guy thinks he's gods gift to music even though his relationship with any kind of good music seems to have ended long ago. Hides behind things like algorithmic composition to mask his mediocre composition skills. And has anyone read the Principles book? Gimme a break. He's the reason classes like that exist. What a joker. Focuses on avant-garde rather than practical which is not practical for students.
