I took this class being well versed in music from a very young age and expecting an "Easy A" but didn't get that. There isn't a lot of weekly work (a small homework assignment due at the beginning of each class) but the majority of your grade comes from the tests and final project. I studied hard for the tests but never did amazing. I'd just like to say, this isn't an "Easy A" class, despite how much musical background you have and Vic was an unfair grader.

Szabo rocked! I had no musical background entering the class, but he worked with me so that I understood the material. If you play an instrument or can read music before you take this class then it is an easy A. If not, an A- is likely. 10/10 would recommend
