Exciting way to implement & combine - Music and Python coding. Got a very good exposure on using Earsketch. Many thanks to the Guide for giving a good explanation about things and how to use it.

This course does little more than teach you the user interface of Earsketch - most of which is basic computer knowledge that you most likely already have, since you managed to find your way to this page.

It's fine if you want an easy-to-follow videoguide instead of reading a manual yourself (bearing in mind that you only learn to use a couple of pre-defined functions), but I expected a more profound look into the inner workings of Python or some insights into music theory as related to scripting, and got none of that.

Presentation could use more work, too. The course is a strict "repeat after me" exercise, but the instructor doesn't explain how functions work, why they are written the way they are, which available music sounds harmonize with each other, and in what way Python is helpful in all this. Earsketch as a whole feels more like a gimmick than a useful tool at this point.

The instructor provided a clear and concise tutorial on how to script python code in EarSketch to create one music composition. It was a quick way to learn how to use EarSketch. However, all of the information provided in this course is available in the EarSketch free online tool. Seems a bit silly to pay for a course here when all the info is available inside the EarSketch program.

This is clearly the BEST of all Coursera 'Project' Courses I have done so far! Stacey's explanation is Perfect: easy to understand, crisp and concise and includes the required components. I love both Music and Python, and this Earsketch is extremely useful. It makes coding so Fun and instantly Fulfilling. I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Great Job, Stacey!

Bit too easy for me. Could have explored earsketch on my own. Neverthless thanks for introducing me to earsketch!

It was a nice course (guided project). One that's totally worth your time spent.

Its a rather short and very easy course. Honestly, it isn't difficult at all. You don't need to follow this course to understand EarSketch. Although for absolute beginners with no coding experience this may be useful as a foundation.

It has very limited knowledge and the student's interface was different from the tutor's interface

Earsketch is fun, but for an introduction into Python it is too limited for my taste.

Very short content. Could have covered more concepts as there are more api available to go through and more project ideas to develop

I would say this guided project was awesome but the only thing I face is that the interference of the sites is now changed, I managed to do all stuff that the instructor was doing separately because just interference is changed with some additional tools on the EarSketch website but old interference questions shouldn't be in the quiz. Thanks for such a nice project.

I really enjoyed this Project-based Course as it introduced me into some Programming Fundamentals in Python and at the same time was really fun to learn Programming by composing music. I would recommend to extend it to a second practice to reinforce the learning. Anyhow, I can say it is a really cool experience!

I pulled my socks up, read the manual and the course moved along fine. I've been doing online courses since I first put my hands on a computer keyboard in 1986/7. Always enjoy them. Better than games for me. Personal interests.

It is a great project for beginners in programming. It explains in a simple and practical way the elementary concepts, contextualizing in a light way through the music. I recommend!

difficult at the start, but with persistence, it became a little easier.
