I'm interested in taking a music course at Foothill College to add some fun in my schedule. I'm not necessarily a music whiz though, so what would be an easy intro class to pick up? Thanks for the help!
If you're new to the world of music and you're looking to dip your toes in, one course at Foothill College that might be a great fit for you is "Introduction to Music" (MUSIC 1A). This is a general education course and due to the introductory nature of it, the material starts from the basics, requiring no prior music knowledge. Plus, it covers a wide range of musical genres and styles which could help you discover what you might be most interested in.
Another option could be "Piano Class for Non-Music Majors" (MUSIC 12B) if you have some interests in learning an instrument. This course is designed specifically for individuals who do not have a strong music background. You will learn the basics of piano playing, and there is a strong emphasis on having fun while learning.
For a more non-traditional approach, you might consider "History of Rock Music" (MUSIC 9). It definitely steers away from the traditional music curriculum and concentrates on an energetic genre that could keep the learning process fascinating.
Remember, an 'easy' class can sometimes be subjective and depends largely on your interest level in the subject material. It's always a good idea to reach out to the course instructor to gauge if the class seems like a good fit for you. Bear in mind that adding a filler course to your schedule can make your academic life more fun and engaging, but they still require dedication and work just like any other class. Enjoy exploring the world of music at Foothill College!
