Introduction to Classical Music

This was and is a most excellent introduction to Classical Music (in fact, I think it went further than a mere introduction).

I also understand a lot more music theory after taking "Introduction to Classical Music"!Thank you, Craig, for so generously sharing your knowledge and your passion for the subject.

A big hand to Professor Craig Wright Fantastic introduction to classical music for the newbie or the hobbists 教授讲课很有风度 Online course with a WOW-effect.

We had a Musical Literature subject at a Musical School - and it was soooo boooring!And this course - it made me think about music in a new way and now I had a wish to share it with my friends I thought this course was well structured and provided a great introduction to classical music.

Amazing introduction to classical music!

Yale's Introduction to Classical Music, taught by Professor Craig Wright, is a thoughtful, stimulating, and challenging survey of Western classical music.

Professor Craig Wright, I've been a musician since I was ten, but never learned music history before the Beatles.

Professor Craig Wright is a passionate teacher and music lover who makes information easily accessible to anyone regardless of previous musical knowledge.

Amazing teaching I feel Professor Craig Wright offers a comprehensive, varied, accessible and fun overview of a very large subject, starting right at the beginning of musical history and bringing you up to the present day.

Thanks professor Craig Wright for this journey!

Professor Craig Wright is very engaging and knowledgable.

It is an amazing class, really enjoy this course, thank you so much, professor Craig Wright!

Professor Craig Wright did an exceptional job of explaining Classical music.

Every piece of music touched on in the course is available via the course Spotify playlist (extremely helpful) so there is no difficulty in listening to professional recordings of all the pieces discussed.I would highly recommend this course to anyone seeking a background knowledge of the evolution of musical history.

I just can't say enough great things about this course, I highly recommend it if you are remotely interested in classical music.

I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in music.

Highly recommend taking a journey though time and various styles of classical music with Prof. Wright and his collaborators.

I just need to thank professor Wright and Yale University for this wonderful and almost undescribable experience.

A highlight I feel is when the course features a clip from one of his lectures at Yale University where he enrolls some colleagues to enact a scene from Don Giovanni in which Wright plays an angry father, slain by Don Giovanni in a duel.

I'm a big fan of Classical music specially of the classical and romantic eras (I listen and practice on piano - my ultimate instrument - too) since many years ago, there were always questions rolling on my head regarding these eras and their most important composers but i never got the guts to search deeply for my answers among the scattered information every where, all this happened before i participated in this course.On this introductory course, i gained a lot of information and my perceptions of the music generally is expanded hugely in a way i never expected :) :) :)Before this course i was an ordinary listener, now i'm a much way better listener; and i'm sure this will have a positive effect on my piano practicing too.Thank you very much Craig Wright, you really did a great job and efforts on simplifying a lot of information and display it in a very easy, organized, and pleasant way, and thank you very much Yale University and every one who participated, supported, and made available any information during the time of this course...you all really made a difference in my life.

Thank you very much Professor Wright and Yale University, and of course, Coursera.

I was disappointed in the low level of this course, which I did not expect from Yale University.

Even though I'm from Argentina and English is not my native language, Professor Wright speaks very clearly and in such a way it is very easy to understand him, always giving examples and transmitting enthusiasm.

His demeanor reminds me of Mr Rodgers, the way he masks education in friendly and easy to understand conversation.

One of the best courses I have taken so far.

is one of the best courses here, in Coursera An exquisite course with a great professor and team.

This is one of the best courses I've ever taken.

One of the best courses I've taken on Coursera!

beginner friendly Dr. Wright is fantastic.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYedVaoB-rU Overall I loved the course and found Dr. Wright to be very engaging.

Dr. Wright and his team get an A+ from this grateful student.-- Jack MurrayNewark, Del.

Paired with dr. Wright's slow manner of speech and his blatant repetition of key words, I felt like I was in elementary school again!

Highly recommended for people who like classical music or who want to know about classical music.

Highly recommended course.

I would definitely recommend to anyone interested in music and of any level of understanding of music, beginner or expert - you will benefit from this delightful series of lectures.

I am really enjoying this course, and will freely recommend it to anyone interested in classical music.

This course well structured, interactive, funny and informative.
