This course has a lot of information. It is well organized, and so many music illustrations. I am really enjoying this course, and will freely recommend it to anyone interested in classical music.

Relatable and mind opening. Enroll if for no other reason than to discover music you forgot you love. There are a lot of great questions to chew on throughout this course. I highly recommend it.

This course was amazing. I'm honestly nervous that it has ruined all other Coursera courses for me because now my expectations are so high.

Incredibly in depth, kind to those without a classical background and deeply nourishing in terms of concepts, ideas and harmony knowledge.

I loved this course; it demystified so much about classical music for me. I wish there was an Introduction to Classical Music Part Two.

It is a joyous experience to be taught by a professor who is sharing only a minute fraction of his clearly vast knowledge!! Thank you!

Just the right level of details and music theory for a lay person that wants to enjoy the music can understand more. I enjoy it a lot.

The content is great. However, it does take ages to complete this course. 4 hours on modernism and post-modernism is really painful.

I really felt like I learned a lot, and can now at least partially understand the differences in the classical music I listen to.

Very good introduction course for non-music students. A lot of samples and analysis. Wide range material to cover classical music
