Comment:
I took this class online and I have to say as a fellow musician that Bakan made this class way to hard for students who have had no prior experience with musical instruments and theory. I felt that he had completely disregarded that the students taking this class weren't music students and made the course overall too difficult.

One of the most arrogant people I've ever encountered. If you're interested in this topic at all, take someone else. His personality will sour you. This dude needs an ego enima.

I really liked Dr. Bakan (or Mr. Bacon.. as some would say). He made the class as fun as possible by bringing in instruments and special guests fairly often. I definitely recommend him for World Music Cultures. He knows what he's talking about.

Music World Cultures... very interesting. He isn't boring to listen to. You need his book though because he teaches directly from it(b/c he wrote it ). I would recommend him if you were taking this class. It was a really easy A.

Charismatic, which is impressive at first...but eventually comes off as completely self-absorbed. Doesn't give a damn about his students, unless he thinks they don't like him.
