[MUSI G4360] Analysis of Tonal Music

To the previous reviewer: what?! I couldn't disagree more. Maybe he's just less harsh on the humanities class. I took his Analysis of Tonal Music class, which was probably a bit over my head given that it was my first graduate-level music theory class, but I struggled through since I thought I would benefit from doing that level of work. Now, I will give him this: he absolutely knows his stuff. In class, he comes across as friendly and quirky and likes to put people on the spot, but without being too harsh. His nastiness comes across in his comments on assignments. His comments (tons on every assignment) are condescending, belittling, and sometimes just cruel. Usually, it's too far from constructive criticism to be considered as such. He seems too eager to throw out a nasty remark. Although, this never really comes forth in class and I was sometimes thrown off by his friendliness to me in person, especially after getting back an assignment. I will say that the course is worth taking if you're already a skilled theorist. He is certainly passionate and knowledgeable.
