Individual Course Reviews
| Course Name/Rating: |
Mozart by Mozart |
| Course Department: | Music |
| Instructor: | Bernardo Scarambone |
| Instruction Language: | |
| Comments: | Professor Scarambone was the best professor I've ever had. He made continuous efforts to keep his students engaged and to encourage them to explore everything in Salzburg. The class wasn't too difficult, but it was really entertaining to learn about Mozart's past. This was, by far, the best music course I've ever taken. |
