Thanks to Professor Craig Wright, his collaborators and Yale University for the opportunity of this wonderful learning.
Excellently delivered by Professor Craig Wright and his team.
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 to Yale University for creating this.
Much thanks to Professor Wright and Yale University Really interesting course and I learned a great deal.
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.

easy to understand
Well-structured, well-paced, easy to understand.
!explained in simple language, so it is easy to understand.
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.

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!
