Anyone taken a music appreciation class?

I never learned music theory in music appreciation. It was the easiest A I ever got (aside from maybe anthropology). I got extra credit for bringing in some of the power electronics track I've made in and playing the violin in class. I had class at 6pm, so I always showed up piss drunk.

Its a bullshit class. Take it, anon.

Music Appreciation is usually music history.
My class started in Gregorian Chant -> Classical -> Jazz

We went to a Jazz club toward the end of the semester, was fun.

My bro, remember this: NO MUSIC IS BETTER THAN OTHER MUSIC. If you end up liking something else along the way, you're not "letting down" the old music you loved, you're just changing, and change is always good.

I'd say check out the class, meet a cool professor, meet some musicians or just fellow music listeners, go see some shows, just try it out and have fun.

who started this "music theory ruins music" meme anyways

It's a fucking waste of time. I took one a few semesters ago and we never made a SINGLE flowchart or essentials chart. Not a single mention of the shit-to-god tier music spectrum either.

>My concern is that it'll be like learning music theory and it'll kill my interest in the music I currently because I start overanalyzing shit or get exposed to "better" music that's not actually better but makes me the music I currently like in a bad light or something
this is the most plebeian thing i've ever read on this board.

stop being a lazy dipshit and making excuses for not learning theory. it won't ruin music for you. it will ruin the shell of ignorance you've built around yourself.

learning music theory has made me appreciate music way more
music appreciation class would be more like music history though than music theory
