What people are saying
music theory
thanks for this course, which introduces me to the music theory Good, but fairly basic.
Great course for anyone trying to enter the world of music theory and even better for someone with a little bit of a background on music.
Very well structured and methodical Really informative course, great little introduction to music theory - only complaint I would have is that on some of the lectures, the question flashes up really quickly and without any link to a picture in the question, meaning you have to keep clicking back to earlier in the lecture to see what you are actually answering the question on!
It would be great to add an image to the question for reference (similar to the ones in the quizzes), otherwise it's very hard to answer the questions.All in all, small gripes, and I would still highly recommend this course to anyone interested in getting their heads wrapped around the basics of music theory.
If you don't already understand music theory this class will be opaque and unhelpful.
This was my first music theory lesson.
It's too short to get all the info in so little time It's a great started in music theory.
I had some knowledge of basic music theory, but it really helps me to understand it deeper from different aspect.
This is a very useful course.The choosen subjects are very interesting and the exam questions enable to consolidate the knowledge.The course provides a broad perspective and a systematic approach to music theory.
You shall never miss it!A true foundation of the music theory, simple but complete!
A very good help to any course in music theory!
It was assumed that the students would be uninterested in or afraid of the mathematical side of music theory.
I expected a more mathematical approach to the topic of music theory and I kept waiting for explanations that were never presented.
The lectures are fast-paced and require some self-motivation to memorize key music theory facts and perseverance to work through the problems.

second week
The discussion question for the second week is "What is your favorite interval?".
First of all, as a beginner, I just learned what an interval was (and even that information is presented as if you have knowledge that a beginner simply wouldn't), and without being able to recognize notes by ear (which a beginner certainly couldn't do, or at least this one can't) how would I have any idea how to answer this question?While some of this content is presented in a very basic manner that a beginner can grasp and use to build upon, by the time I got into intervals in the second week, I was simply lost, even after going through the entire first part of the second week again.Perhaps I'm simply not musically-minded enough for this course, but this level of content and method of instruction seems well beyond what a beginner course should offer.
