rock and roll
This course is focused on the American Rock and Roll scene from about 1955 through to psychedelic era of the late 1960s.
Social issues and technological developments that contributed to the development of American Rock and Roll are discussed throughout.
Could have done with an accompanying playlist A comprehensive survey of the roots of rock and roll.
It's very important to know all these things if you want to understand the origins of rock and rock and roll music!
I enjoyed learning about the artists and songwriters that shaped the birth of Rock and Roll and made it into the genre that so many are great fans of.
Good overview of the birth of Rock It really informed me on the importance of rock and roll through history.

This is a great course that is very informative.
This is a very informative and well outlined course highlighting the US music industry's history from the 1900s to end of 1960s.
Despite that, it is very informative and have quite a good insights of what has been happening in America at the time and how Americans perceived themselves their culture and the British Invasion.
Engaging and an overall very informative course.
These two courses we're very fun compared to most.They we're very informative but important for anyone working in the music business.thanks It was a great course

professor covach
Sometimes I preferred reading the transcript as opposed to listening to the video but I found that the transcripts were at times very garbled, inaccurate to what was actually being discussed by Professor Covach (names, places, etc.
Professor Covach rocks!
I love music and rock over all that's why I decided to do this course first but I will keep on doing courses with you until I die.I also want to thank Professor Covach.
* Good points: \- Professor Covach is extremelly didactic: he always finds the best words to use, even when it is necessary to talk about technical aspects, such as tempo, tone or rhythm.
\- There are lots of discussions and Professor Covach participates of them as much as possible.
However, Professor Covach does a superb job of weaving the disparate threads of mainstream pop, R & B, and country and western together to form rock.
