Doc Locke is funny and amazing. Community Choir is the easiest A I've ever gotten. As long as you show up and sing you will succeed. Locke is the best.

Comment:

Best choir conductor! I had almost no knowledge of music theory when I got into Chamber Singers, but he was somehow able to make me sing a bunch of complicated music and actually understand it. It is easy to get along with him if you share a passion for music.

Comment:

Doc is phenomenal. I never saw the true value of watching a conductor while you sing before Doc. He genuinely cares about each student. When I screwed up an audition from lack of sleep and started crying, he not only comforted me, but held his decision and allowed me to come back another day.

Arrogant, stuck-up, nice to favorites and not to others. Pretty good choir teacher, nothing special as a conductor though. Not really an academic professor. Classes easy as h**, though.

Well....He's talented. He cares about his students and invests a lot of time in them. You can learn from him. That said, he can be arrogant.

Seems plenty nice to a regular joe just in Community Choir for the fun of it. Have seen no pettiness or rudeness, but have not had enough exposure to say that it doesn't happen.

Comment:

The niceness is an act -- he's sickeningly saccharine and incredibly full of himself. He also plays favorites. I could really do without the cutesiness. UGH.
