Comment:
I loved this class and professor. It's fast-paced (i.e. don't skip class), but you only go over rhythm notation, intervals, and triad chords. It's a lot easier if you have played music (piano or band/orch), but it's still basic, foundational information. Three tests and two compositions, homework weighs in as well.

HARDEST CLASS I'VE EVER TAKEN. She really make you work for your grade. Every assignment is vital to your grade. She will give help if you ask. She has a passion for music. She forces us to learn alot in a 10 week program. Ear-training is key. If you are great at music literacy then you will pass very easily.

Comment:
This teacher is convinced her students are children. I like to be treated as an adult in a college educational setting, so I found that incredibly irksome. Condesention and "repeat after me" BS. If you have the patience for that, and the ability to teach yourself/learn on your own, you will be fine. But she is a nightmare.

Comment:
DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER. If you like teachers who are level headed and coherent then THIS IS NOT THE TEACHER FOR YOU. This woman is spacey, vague, bubbly and spastic. She can't focus long enough to get out an understandable, coherent sentence. She is EXTREMELY loud and obnoxious and changes the subject so often it's impossible to follow.

Great teacher! Music Theory is a hard subject to learn as someone who was new to it completely, and she moves quickly, but she's funny, passionate, and sweet. Definitely a good professor.

I took her for music theory and IF you have taken and understood music theory then this class should be a piece of cake for you but if you haven't then it won't be. She is a nice lady but when she teaches if you don't understand she treats you in kind of a condensing manner.

It's very easy to stay on her good side. She's such a performer, all she wants is an audience. Show up and laugh once in a while - you're on the good list for life.

If she can teach me to make a violin do something other than collect dust, she's awesome. She did, and she is.
