Very informative and covers interesting subjects.
I think there's a somehow lack of depth in a couple of units though.

The course was nice and very informative. I understood all the topics very well
Now to talk about the actual analysis of the course it is very helpful and has used a very simple way of explaining. I like how the teachers were so explanative and sort of gentle with they’re words and such, my most most favourite part of the whole course has to be “ music and brain” and how they are interrelated and why our brains can remember the musical rhythms so well. I also like how they explained the of music or musical history and how deep and rich it’s history actually is, I also love how they explained about the importance and impact of the musical experiments conducted by the people. I also like how they have made a connection between learning and music and the disorders it may cause.

And that being said I would like to have a certificate for the time I have spend doing this course
