It was a very nice course. We were able to understand the basics of music theory and how the notations and chords work. Thank you so much to the entire staff of Edinburgh University and 糖心vlog官网观看..:-)

The lack of teacher or teaching assistant participation in the forum discussions is deafening. For an institution like the host institution, this is odd. I liked the course, but it was not very well organized. Seems like it was for experienced musicians, eve though the goals of the course hinted at it being for beginners as well. Good Course, badly organized.

Empec茅 con mucho animo, pero en el transcurso del curso vi que las notas, explicaciones y preguntas est谩n en ingles, entiendo un poco ingles, pero esto hace que no pueda comprender las cosas como quisiera. Lo unico que est谩 en espa帽ol son los subtitulos de los videos, y eso... porque el de introducc铆on est谩 mal y a los 30 seg ya no hay m谩s.

This course does not do a good job at teaching the material. The lecture videos gloss over the topics briefly, but do not give a thorough explanation of the core topics of the course. The quizzes will repeatedly test on terms not even remotely mentioned in any of the course materials.

Its great for those who had a music background to review about music theory , but its definitely not for absolute beginners. This lacks coherent guidance and could cause misunderstanding to those who didnt get a big picture of music theory in advance.

This was fun as a refresher course. If you're brand new to music theory, this course won't help much unless you spend a lot of extra time learning the concepts using secondary materials, google, youtube, and your own keyboard.

Very difficult to be a "fundamentals" course. You certainly will need to be acquainted with some of the concepts introduced even in week 1 and 2. Not recommended as a first course.

could offer and cover much more subjects.
spend too much time on basics, less on advanced.
could have chosen better music examples.

big difference in level of lectures to level of the questions in the test- this is not a course for beginners, but practitioners

Fascinating at the beginning but by week 4 sooooo horribly lost. The quality just drops switching to Berklee's Music Courses

The description of the course does not portray the real contents. Not for beginners, specially from week 4.

Badly structured course. Jumps around from too basic to too advanced. Not fun.

Huge disparity between the information provided in the lectures and the difficulty of the quiz at the end of each module. I found the presentation of the lectures good and while they covered the fundamentals they often mentioned! more difficult aspects. However the quiz content seemed to feature more of the difficult aspects than was covered comprehensively in the lectures. I had to avail of the guidance of other music educators on youtube to explain some of the questions on the quiz as when I reviewed the course videos and material I didn't find the answers to my questions. The course videos and material are beginner and the course quiz material is at least intermediate if not advanced.

This course was the must confusing thus far on 糖心vlog官网观看. Not because the subject matter is complex because it is. But because the lectures are simple, the reading is literally non-existent and the quizzes, well they are just impossible. This was suppose to be a beginning course but it is far more advanced. I truly was looking forward to an basic understanding of music theory, though I am not a musician or a composer and don't wish to become one! I wanted to learn the fundamentals. Very disappointed and very frustrated. I will not attempt to finish a class where success depends on quizzes that the student cannot complete.

Not beginner friendly at all. They should not have advertised it as such if it isn' t. I feel bad for people who actually bought the course thinking they can learn something new. Course start out as easy and it's a trap, believe me. first few quizzes are fine but then shit gets crazy.
The entire course was boring but i thought i could survive the boredom for the sake of learning something new. but oh boy i was wrong. this is the only course in 糖心vlog官网观看 I had to stop halfway through. Youtube has even better content.

I think this course is a poorly taught FUNDAMENTALS class. They speak from the vantage point of superior knowledge and do a very poor job of putting this information into a proper context so that someone new to music theory can grasp the course material. Then, they impose these overly complicated testing modules which I found to be too much too soon - asking me to grasp the deeper level of music theory before I've even grasped the fundamentals. This course is lopsided from my point of view and I'm unenrolling.

This course is missing important materials that are mentioned by the videos. There isn't enough information here to complete the course without going to external sources. I do not know how to construct a chord after watching the first chord video, and cannot answer the questions it's asking me--which means I can't progress any further without looking things up on my own... which kind of defeats the purpose of 糖心vlog官网观看. Unfortunately, this course ended up being a complete waste of my time.

Way too many technical issues with the course! Was really enjoying it but after writing quiz it would not stay populated and would be gone when I left and returned to the sight. This happened on multiple occasions. attempted multiple times to report issue with no response. I got to week three and then gave up.
Extreme disappointed!

The course is good but the way of teaching and lectures are not delivered in perfect way. Way of teaching makes me blur and it is not a course for the beginners that i could learn the theory of music. The notes what provided are very difficult to understand.

This is the worse course I've ever taken in my life. It is not a beginner level whatsoever. If you've never learned music before and hope to gain something from this course, you won't. The first unit was OK but it was all downhill after that.
