Comment:

If you remember that he has a masters in the philosophy of music education, and expect questions from him, not answers, he's awesome. He makes a point of leading you to your own critical opinion, rather than have you adopt his.

tsk tsk...get over yourselves...He is a crital thinker, yes a thinker, so not everything can be delivered in a spoonsize portion for you. He was insightful, logical, and very cut and dry...the qualities that can help you attain success in a cut throat arena. There are more of him out there, so get used to it!

Comment:

Extremely into himself, unwilling to listen to others' ideas. I graduated with a sour taste of BU, much of it due to this man. Have not, nor will I recommend BU to any prospective students because of my experience with this man.

Comment:

What can be said? For an individual who thinks he is right, he is the most myopic man I've ever met. For the supporters, I pulled an A in the class. I do want him to get well soon. I heard he tripped over his ego on the way home from fac. counc. and broke his arm. See you in Jan. Wayne.

I played Lead Trpt for this man for over 12 years, never has BU been blessed with a man with the knowledge and ability to pull the best out of each student and create a win win experience for all in the class. He is a true gentleman. you should be honoured to be allowed into his class. 1981-1994

Comment:

Dr. Bowman is a smart and scary man, but he knows his stuff and cares about the quality of education he provides. If you want to learn - and THINK, you'll love him. If all you want is a credit, do both the teacher and yourself a favor and get it online.

Even though I haven't been in his class for over a year, his ideas and ability to infmy self awareness inspire me everyday as a current teacher. An intelligent and truly kind human being. I will NEVER forget what he has taught me. Miss you Wayne!

Comment:

Why is it that Dr.B is known internationally for his research and teaching but BU hardly listens to his recommendations or vision for music education? Hellooo people - this is not the '70s. BU is falling way behind in mus.ed. for all the wrong reasons

No question, you gotta work here. So, if you're looking for a Mickey Mouse course this is not the one. But, if you really want to stretch your brain, go for it. Master's work is second to none. Top professor at small university. We're lucky to have him,

Comment:

People always are critical of brilliant minds. Their own insecurities come to the fore because they are afraid to take a risk and challenge their mind. Bowman makes you THINK and be critical of accepted norms. Thank heavens for him. Too many profs in univ

well, if you haven't kept up or, if you're not interested in actual learning, then you'll find him really tough. He's into learning and challenging you - isn't that what university is for?? Wake up people

Some people just need to lighten up when it comes to him. He is always supportive, and has the students' best interests in mind. If you don't have an attitude, you can learn an awful lot from him.

He is a brilliant man and forces you to think.That's what makes most people uncomfortable because they want to stay in their comfort zones. A definite credit to the university.
