Comment:

Terrible,, teaches the class as if everyone already knows what hes talking about, doesn't let you finish when you raise your hand for a question, sometimes makes students feel embarrassed for asking questions, assignments that he wants done or that he is going to grade, mostly vague, unorganized, also has a thick accent, answers questions halfway

Comment:

Vastly experienced. Treats everybody like a professional musician, okay if you share the love of music. Speaks in fixed doif he's demonstrating something about a phrase going G#-D-E-B, he sings "so-re-mi-si," faster than you could read it. Soft-spoken, with a European accent, but speaks English more fluently than most natives, with terrific humor.

Favorite professor and director of all time. He's an extremely knowledgeable man but is so humble about it. He loves sharing what he knows with younger musicians and students, as long as they show a willingness to learn. I wish I could take him for more classes.

He's easy enough to understand, a little dry sometimes, but that might be the class material's fault not his. If you can't understand thick accents, do not take this class.

He was a nice guy and he was extremely helpful. I will admit that his class could have been a bit harder, but it was still enjoyable. If you show up to class and you pay attention, then you will be fine.

Comment:

He treats his students like adults that are responsible for themselves. If you're not an arrogant american that thinks anyone with an accent is clueless, you'll learn a great deal from this man. In rehearsals, he simply expects you to come prepared. He expects to deal with professionals and if he sees you can take challenge he will give it.

Comment:

He is, by far, the worst conductor I have ever played under. He is unorganized, ignorant, and has absolutly no idea, what so ever on how to run an orchestra rehearsal. I don't go to rehearsal to sit through a string sectional. If any one person thinks that this man has a good rehearsal technique they need to get a clue and go catch one of Bianchi's rehearsals. As for orchestration, if he wants all of the wind players to teach the class then let them and get the hell out.

oh come on......he is a wonderful guy! he loves music and is simply a quirky fruit like almost every musician that i know. yes, he can be rather confusing at times, but if you at least try what he asks, he will be very open to your opinions. IT'S GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!
