Comment:

Students not enrolled in USingers face a significant challenge taking Slon's classes, as Slon clearly shows preference for students enrolled in his ensemble in class. Slon is more apprehensive at being harsh towards his USingers students than those not enrolled therein.

USingers- Slon is nice enough, but he is not concerned about any scheduling issues you may have or willing to work with you about them. Very self-focused- expects you to give up a lot.

usingers is fun and slon is very nice and encouraging. lots of extra time dedication during concert weeks and slon is definitely not lenient or flexible about missing rehearsals at all. but i love the class and he is definitely growing on me every rehearsal. :)

If you like to sing join the University Singers. If you don't sing come to our concerts! When I was in high school I did district chorus and All State chorus but none of the conductors was like Slon. He is very polite, very talented and he is a great great great conductor/musician. He brought me closer to music and I made many friends in this choir

Altogether a really nice guy. Unfortunately, he seems to lack control over the chorus. He lets them talk to the point of disrupting rehearsal on a regular basis
