TOP REVIEWS FROM MUSICIANSHIP: CHORD CHARTS, DIATONIC CHORDS, AND MINOR KEYS
Excellent class taught by an engaging and knowledgeable teacher. The Berklee classes are the best music classes I have found on Coursera.
Very joyful and a bit challenging towards the end. Defietly work on your 7th chords for this class and study up on reading bass clef a bit. The ear training was really delightful.
A very thorough yet easy-to-learn course consisting of every fundamental thing a musician must know. Finding it really helpful so far!
A very well organized and very interesting course! It won't scare you away at the beginning. But you surprise yourself as you complete this course and realized how much you've learned.
