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 Coursera..:-)
Its not as easy as it seems, it will give you a good challenge. After you finish this, you will be more confident about your music theory. Thank you University of Edinburgh! Thank you Coursera!

•The explanations were not always clear nor sufficient for beginners in the part of Functional Harmomy (week 4), which probably should have been preceded by the (brilliant) explanation of Chords, Inversions and Cadences (week 5).

•Very interesting! A lot of theory but also practical examples for the harmony topic.
A lot of stuff in a very short time. And not always explained in the course.
The difficulty increases suddenly: stay motivated until the end!

•Course was great. The main challenge seemed to be the big gap between the first 4 or 5 weeks and the analysis of a musical piece expected for the final exam. It would be nice to have a more guided path for that final task.

•More dfficult than i thought it would be especially week 5 and 6 which moves to complex concepts very quickly. A lot of content in week 5 which may be easier to digest if split? Otherwise a good challenging course!
von Ishaan K
•Very informative course. Teaches all the fundamentals till they're painfully obvious. It has helped me understand the skeletal structure of the music I listen to and has helped answer many questions. Thank you.
von Yasmine A M
•Wow! The course is very rich! I never knew that music is so complicated.
The professors are really amazing, and they teach us verbal cues to memorize the complicated parts (Every good boy deserves fun!!)

•You need some knowledge on music before starting the course, some of the lectures and quizzes are too hard but it’s definitely worth it. I learned a LOT and I’m happy that I took this course!
von Aristarkh T
•Great course! Felt like a good overview of important basics. Most of the lectures are quite clear and descriptive. The parts on form and structure felt a bit rushed and condensed, though.
von Joshua H
•This course moves just a little bit too fast for beginners. I think it needs to be spread out a little bit with further explanations for people who don't understand what they are saying.

•I had no musical background and this was a challenging experience. I've learnt a lot in this course, I recommend it. I'm not giving it 5 stars because one of the weeks must be improved.
von Fabio S
•The course is quite challenging, since you have to complete the learning topics by investigating by the student. However this teach you not to give up, which brings great experience.
von Enrique H
•This course has a lot of very interesting and useful information. I like the way the instructors handled it.
Looking forward for courses that can be like a continuation to this one.
von Aziz M A
•It was a fantastic course. I was introduced to the basic concepts and ideas in music theory. Even though the course was hard to keep up, it was a good experience overall. Thanks
von Chloe A G
•This was a great class, but some of the information could have been more comprehensive, and some of the questions on the tests did not match the information from the lectures.
von 黄薇
•Good for beginners, introduced basic theory systemly. But a few mistakes appeared, though corrected in the videos too, but better to clear them in the future shifts.
von Santiago A B S
•it's a really great course; although they don't get into every detail that you would think you need,it's a pretty good overlook of the elementary of music theory.
von Muhammad N B A M
•I think week 3 and partially week 5 could've been implemented a bit better. but they did really well explaining basic music theory with the allocated time given.
von Naveed H
•The quizzes sometimes feel a little too difficult compared to the lectures that precede them, but other than that it's a really nice and comprehensive course
von marcos v g
•Course was very difficult for me. I did not make final exam. However alltogether gave me may Inputs and Tutors were very professional . Thank you very much.
von Jan D
•A little bit steep demand curve regarding to what is offered in the lectures.
Well, well... The whole world knows that "they" are a little "thrifty" ;-)
von Avinesh S
•The video tutorials were good, but for me it was not sufficient. However, the examinations were a lot helpful than the video lessons.
von Yoma K
•The course was interesting but I wanted to know more about theoretical characteristics for music in different eras and cultures
von pengfei z
•Apart from a steep increase of complexity somewhere around the third week, you still manage to learn a lot through this course.
von Dominic M
•Good introduction to music theory.
Final assignment tougher than expected.
You will need to do the extra reading and research.
von Kumar G M
•Worth it.
Helped improved my skills as a musicians also it filled all the gaps that was lying in my fundamental theories.
