WHAT STUDENTS SAY ABOUT THIS CLASS
Surprisingly seamless transition with no discernible negative impact on learning outcomes. (REGARDING ONLINE LEARNING)
Renata was brilliant, and it was just as if we were in the classroom. (REGARDING ONLINE LEARNING)
Renata is fun and very present. She is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humour
Renata teaches music fundamentals in a fun and interactive way, its impossible not to enjoy this course! The mix of music history with theory helped put context to what was being taught. I will definitely move onto Music Fundamentals 2
An interested and dedicated instructor who communicated her enthusiasm well.
I’d like to thank Renata for an informative 8 weeks in this first session of Music Fundamentals. Since completing this first module, I’ve already increased my confidence in attempting to write and transpose music myself. Looking forward to part 2
I’ve learned so many new things. Now I am beginning to understand concepts I had only heard of in the past.
