Winter 2021 - This is a very fun class! The only thing you shoud be aware of is that Professor Browner adds a lot of random facts to the lectures, which could be a bit distracting sometimes as it diverted my attention from the actual important things. However, I really like Professor Browner! She is a very cool lady, she has amazing stories, and she is very knowledgeable and passionate about Bach as a scholar. The books we need to buy are super cheap. We needed to buy two, and both of them together are under 20 dollars. The class is pretty easy as well, and this is coming from a student without a lot of musical background taking a music GE class. I had a lot of fun in this class. The most important thing is to pay attention to the listening assignments and focus on taking notes around the listening.
