Great prof, very friendly and personable. More interested in getting students engaged in the material than forcing you to learn a bunch of technical info or terminology. Highly recommended!

Professor Coyle was awesome! I had the class at 8:30am, which is tough for me, but he made it totally worth getting up. He was so energetic and excited about Jazz and you could tell he really loved what he was doing. I learned a ton of stuff too even though the class was pretty easy!

Brian was an awesome professor! Even though I don't care much about music, let alone jazz, I was always entertained by his lecture. He expects you to put in some effort but doesn't try to kill you. Take this class for your 4-credit arts-it's a good time!

Comment:

Very easy. True, if you don't like jazz, the class could be annoying because you have to listen to so much of it. It's a lot of work, but still really, really easy. And, he's fun.
