Comment:

I took the online 8 week music class. If you take this class go to the coursework tab and keep up from there because his assignments are out of place which caused me to miss a few quizzes. He takes this intro class way too seriously therefore makes him a tough grader because he wants you to be at the same level as him. very rude when responding

This guy is absolutely hysterical. If you're sensitive, don't take the class. There were two papers in the class I took, one of which you has to attend a concert for. The tests are easy if you study, and there's no homework.

Absolutely loved him! So dry sense of humor but always had a great story to tell. Has a passion for music which makes his class inspirational. BUT make sure you write EVERYTHING down, he let us use our notes on the tests and if I wasn't writing everything down I'd probably failed. Do the extra credit. Helps you out a lot! Loved his class!

Very smart man. I would have to say he is one of the best professors on this campus. He will talk a lot about music history and it is in your best effort to absorb his wisdom!

Comment:

Not the best instructor in the world, but not the worst. The exams were based evenly on lecture material and the textbook readings. There was a required paper (a concert review) that was pretty much a piece of cake. My main objection is that I really didn't "connect" to Langford's sarcastic and snide sense of humor. Overall, a mediocre teacher.

Comment:

The hat story. If you don't get anything out of this class, at least stay fit the hat story. The whole class was dead silent. Inspirational, easy, and hilarious. The guy has the "sarcastic jerk" humor but I think it's hilarious. Extremely nice guy. I can see people who think he's mean not understanding his humor. Some jokes are obscure.

Took Professor Langford for Winter session online. He has a very organized website he wants you to buy the access code for It was a bit $ but worth the same amount of a book. Can't pass without. He was very quick to respond to emails. follow his criteria and do his hw, you should be fine. Still have to do the work though. Must do concert report.

Comment:

Langford was probably my most favorite and memorable teacher! He keeps the lessons very interesting. Book isn't required, but thorough notes help a lot. The only thing I can say negative about him is that his lectures almost feel off topic and it's sometimes hard to figure out what will and will not be on the test. Extra credit is easy! Do it!

Comment:

If he assigns concerts and extra credit do them! Easy points, listen to what he says and take notes. I found the listening part of the exams the most difficult, but study what you can. Overall it was a great class and he's extremely knowledgeable/passionate about his material.

Relatively easy class. Read a 10-15 minute lecture, take a quiz on it, then onto next weeks assignment. A couple papers about artists from certain periods, as well as having to attend a live concert and write a report about it. Don't listen to those complaining about buying the online course, as it is essentially the book. Would take again.

I lovedddd Professor Langford!! Best teacher I have had at Citrus! He's hilarious and sarcastic! He makes the lectures very interesting, and you learn a lot from this class. They are only 3 tests i believe and they are 100 questions. They're pretty easy if you study and follow the notes. You don'y need a book for this class.

Comment:

The course its self is super easy. Just read the 5 min lessons. The lessons get a lot longer toward the end but he gives you more time to complete the homework. Some of the assignments were unclear but he would always email back (in 5 seconds)and let me know what needed to be fixed then grade me on my fixed work. Over all a good guy and easy class.

Overall class for online experience, was a piece of cake. When it comes time to do the "written assignments," he isn't helpful at all, so good luck with that. Concert report? He expects you to pay over 100$ just to attend. His point system doesn't make sense. If you are trying to raise your grade, acing the midterm and the final, will do NOTHING.

I wish he taught every single class at Citrus because he makes everything interesting. I loved his class and that may be because I love learning about music. Yeah, he can pick on some people, but really, don't take it to heart. He's funny and just awesome. He WILL NEVER BORE YOU. TAKE HIM!

This was a pretty easy online class, though there was a lot of material to cover at once. Sometimes there would be 2 or more quiz's due in one day. I took the late start class Sring semester so it was condensed. I'm sure taking the class for 16 weeks would make it even simpler. Good luck!

Awesome class. Langford makes alot of pointed jokes so you have to have an open mind and a good sense of humor. Grade is 500 points, 100 for 4 tests and 50 for 2 concert reports. Take good notes while he is talking because the tests are straight from his lecture. The concert reports are easy. You can find free college concerts,don't worry bout cost
