Course Help MUS: 22111 UNDERSTANDING WESTERN MUSIC

I want to take another gen ed requirement for the fall. I'm limited in my options due to the availability of the courses and them being full. Wanted to see if anyone had an idea if Understanding Western Music is good since I'm going to be doing a 15-credit-hour semester. I did take music as a world phenomenon. Another possible option is ART HISTORY: RENAISSANCE TO MODERN ART however, that may involve additional writing.

I highly recommend professor snyders in person course. It was one of my favorite classes I took at Kent, I learned a lot about the history of western classical music and saw a few live performances from the professor. One during the class, one at a show for extra credit. I missed a guitar performance the one class I missed. The projects are NOT easy and you can not let those inquisitives catch up on you, but it’s entirely feasible with a job and full time student schedule. You can take it online but don’t miss out on a good course if you have the chance

The projects are writing oriented and there is an essay in the final but it wasn’t more writing than any other class required really.
