Comment:

Probably the most rude/arrogant person I have ever had to deal with. This man has absolutely no positive things to say and focuses on the negative. He turns MANY people away from flute and from music by telling them to leave the province and has even gone as far as to tell them that they need to quit what they're doing. HORRIBLE - glad he's gone.

Comment:

Nice enough and helpful enough to people he deems worthy, but to others he can be extremely rude. Loves to talk about himself, and tends to be arrogant. I don't feel that i learned a lot this past semester, considering he didn't stop talking about himself till 3/4 of the way through the semester. I guess i was lucky that he didn't hate me.

First, it's Robert, not Bobby - if you want his respect, you should show some of your own first. Secondly, I echo the sentiment below that reaffirms his professional knowledge. If you act like a professional, he treats you like one, and I'll always respect him for that.

Comment:

Bob is Very knowledgeable... He can be intimidating at times, but if u learn to ignore that part, work hard, it pays off. Can gab on forever with him...Glad I am taking lessons with him! Very talented man! Maybe some day he will change his preference for flutes

Completely MISUNDERSTOOD as a teacher and person…He is there to teach you regardless of your ability. He has no patience for cocky students who actually think they know more than a Professor with 30 plus years of University level teaching. Check your ****

Definitely NOT a sax player! Sax majors should study somewhere else with a competant teacher. I did not enjoy the lessons spent with him. quite arrogant and do not recommend taking any courses with him.

Comment:

This man is a saddist. He likes to see students fail and has succeded many times having excellent musicians quit the school because of him. He is an alright musician, but doesn't understand playing to other musicians.

He should be a teacher at Crazy-Go-Nuts University. A very rude and ignorant man. Stay away from his classes if possible.
