Marc Riley is a really amazing professor, he tries his best to make the students understand the subject that he is teaching. If you have not had any musical background the class may start really difficult when it comes tot he voice leading, he will stay after class to help so don't be afraid to ask questions after class. Some tutoring if needed.

Dr. Riley is one of the best music professors I've ever had. He teaches music theory the way it should be taught and is more than willing to help his students when they ask. Hilarious, makes it enjoyable, and understanding that music theory does not come easy to everyone.

Professor Riley is a really funny teacher and you can tell he cares about getting the material through to the students. I would say that some of the his tests can be quite long and sometimes included material that he told us not to worry about, but the class is still a doable "A" for everyone. MUS 103 much harder, and I recommend frequent practice.
