Introduction to the History of Music, 2021

(taught remotely)

"This class was amazingly organized & structured. Her weekly podcasts got straight to the point and were very interesting to listen to. Additionally, all assignments were posted in advance and they were all really helpful in building my understanding around novel topics that I had never read about before. All topics were SO interesting. Lastly, the course was completely asynchronous, which I immensely appreciated as an international student currently in Asia."

"The musical examples chosen were all very thought–provoking, and Delia's analysis of them really blew my mind. All aspects were interesting, and this was my favorite class I've ever taken at Berkeley. I liked how musical elements were discussed as well as philosophical and historical."

"No matter the topic, Delia does a great job of articulating essential questions and stakes. Her ability to cut through messes and get to the heart of things was always helpful, and her enthusiasm often carried me through sluggish Friday mornings."

"This course was a breath of fresh air. Delia is one of the most wonderful, genuinely caring professors I have had during my time at Cal. She always made the material interesting and moving, and worked hard to help us out of our comfort zones and into a deeper level of understanding the course material."
