So far I've found the introduction course helpful. I've been going in blind, as I do not know very much about music as a whole, but overall, I have found in enjoyable and am looking forward to learniing more. The instructor was very clear, so I wasn't lost, and they didn't rush anything so I don't have to worry about not knowing what to do. The quizzes after each section were also very much appreciated, as they helped me retain the information that I learned, as well as keep me on track with the things that are important to know.
