<p>I am an incoming freshman and I enrolled in a class called Music History 7 Film and Music...I know nothing about music and have never played an instrument or anything like that.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if that kind of experience is necessary for this class? Has anyone taken it? I don't know if I should try and take a different class instead.
Here's a link to the class...
Schedule</a> of Classes: Class Listing</p>
<p>Chill out. I’ve read the description and nothing in it suggests you need to have prior experience of playing musical instruments to do well in the class.</p>
<p>Here’s the description: “7. Film and Music (5)
Lecture, four hours; film viewing, two hours. History of music and cinema, particularly ways music is used to produce meanings in conjunction with visual image. P/NP or letter grading.”</p>
<p>Film and Music won’t likely require any more musical experience than your high school Music Appreciation class did (assuming you took it in h.s.).</p>
<p>You’ll be fine, don’t worry about it! It’s a lot like music appreciation.</p>
