The professor is super fun and engaging! A good beginner friendly class. The video feels like it's getting outdated, but the material is timeless.

Was a good introduction to ear training and basic chord progressions. Good recap for intermediate-level musicians and great pace for beginners.

This course works for me.

I had classical background but wanted to learn more about how to make use of chords and combination of chords.

Excellent course! The exercises were challenging, this course definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone...

clefs werent clearly explained.

and easy reading and writing techniques could have been taught

It was a good course, and I think it was a good introduction to music theory.

Nice course, good intro. Pretty thin but helpful and good value for money.

this is the best course for beginners to learn basics

I like the teacher's nice attitude and good energy.

Homework and quizzes are too easy.

Cannot do the test without pay...

Good beginning, challenging end

This course is fun!!

Got what i need :D

Good for beginners

good course

I don't understand in the final assignment it says the written part is optional yet you ask us to grade our peers based upon the written part of the assignment. Very unclear. All the Berklee advertisements are heavy handed and annoying making it seem like you're just trying to get more people to spend too much money on a degree. The fundamental instruction is great though and easy to follow along.

Great instructor!

The content is basic and with appropriately narrow scope of theory and applications.

I enjoyed the videos, but not the assignments. I wanted to have fun and learn more about the music that I think makes life more beautiful. The final assignment in the module was unclear to me and the feedback unkind. Telling me to wait a year, get outside help and try again is not in any manner fun or helpful. I can't imagine doing that to a student of mine, a peer, or even a stranger. Nor do I find it in keeping with the claim this should be fun. In the end I would rather be an uninformed lover of music than make myself crazy trying to learn it with people that are taking an introduction class and clearly forgot what it was like to be in your first couple of months of learning music. It is like learning calculus from the math instructor that thinks some of the steps are so obvious that he can skip them forgetting he has a PhD in math.

The course materials are well done, but unless you pay for the class, you have difficulties completing material week to week. For example, you can not take any of the multiple choice tests (and unless you pay, of course you can't submit assignments, which is fine). Then, you are said to be overdue or locked out for the next week's classes because you did not complete the assignments. There is a workaround it, which is tedious and time-consuming (you have to redo information from the prior week) and not where I want to spend my time. Other classes allow you to audit the class, even take multiple choice quizzes (which can be machine graded), without being "pushed" to pay for the class.

There were also times it was impossible to log into the class due to a slow system. Then, once logged in, you have to "redo" prior week's stuff to move ahead. Ridiculous.

You cannot progress as you desire. Stupid exercises for advanced users you cannot bypass. Waste of time.

Despite being a paid course, it doesn't provide any interaction or reviewing from the faculty AT ALL.
