Reviews of professor Daniel Carunchio

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Nice guy, easy class. If you are not very knowledgable on music it is a little difficult to understand terminology but otherwise easy A!

DAN THE MAN. He's really fun and really enjoys what he teaches about, which makes lectures really interesting. If you aren't interested in learning music theory or music history you won't really enjoy the class, but I loved it. Theres one assignment where you go to a musical concert (last fall, pre-covid) which is really fun if you go with friends.

Carunchio is clearly passionate about what he teaches. Although some subjects during the class can be dry, expect to watch him play the piano spontaneously and try to get the class involved. A great person and loves connecting with his students. Granted he does give weekly readings, but quizzes are straight forward and there was no final.

For this class, you have 5 unit classes, no midterm or final. Each of these quizzes includes the lecture notes and a listening section for music. He does make study guides for each quiz. There is 1 group project, you have to attend a Kimmel center performance, and write 2 papers on it. He offers extra credit questions on the quizzes and quiz.
