Reviews of professor Rachel Van Amburgh

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I put off taking this b/c of perceived low level of challenge. Not a blow-off. A good class isn't a means to a grade- but challenges my life view. Mandatory concerts of your choice. Enjoyed Dr. Van Amburgh's mixed media oboist concert performance-a Must-see! Class challenges you in classical, modern music! Don't skip - you'll miss good discussions!

Every class is super lecture heavy, and it gets really boring. Her tests are hard because of the listening portion where you have to listen for very small details in music which are very hard to identify as a new listener. Mandatory concert attendance one classical & one of your choice. Two page paper due for both. Somewhat unapproachable.
