Review:
Teresa Neff is one of the best professors Tufts has to offer. If all teachers were a little bit more like her, then people wouldn't ever skip classes. She wears her love for the subject matter on her sleeve and her enthusiasm for the music and history is beyond compare. She speaks in terms that non-musicians can understand but also can simultaneously challenge a musician's understanding of the music. Her love for the material, wealth of knowledge and interpretations and complete enthusiasm make a lecture about a dead Viennese composer (which could be very boring) incredibly interesting and vivacious, while her insights into the workings of the music are beyond compare.

It would be a shame if Tufts ever lost her, because in my four years here she is the BEST music teacher I've had and among the 4 BEST teachers I've had period.

Workload:
Weekly listenings. 3 exams based on listenings and class lectures, but she gives you an incredibly helpful study sheet. A few papers that challenge the way you listen to music and actually make you get out of your house and go hear some live classical music. The workload is not difficult at all.
