He was an excellent Chorale teacher! Patient, funny, great at keeping order...It's so sad he got sick but his replacement was very nice. Chorale is a very simple fun class that I looked forward to every time.

DJ was a beloved choral conductor, the best I've seen. His presence in the choral world will be very sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family.

Attendance is mandatory. Go to class and don't be a tool and you'll be fine. Chorale is a lot of fun, and Janower is most of the reason why. He's very funny and knows what he's doing.

Comment:
Janower is an excellent conductor, but chamber is nowhere near easy. It requires dedication and lots of work outside of class. If you don't know your part, he calls you out on it in front of everybody. Lots of performances outside of class, which are a lot of fun. Definitely take this course if you're passionate about singing.

University Chorale is a fantastic way to expand your musical skills. Class has made me a better sight reader, and has made my singing much better. Class consists of warm-ups, with a stretch or two, and singing the music. If you engage in the class, you should expect an A. Grades are based on attendance, show up/have fun and get your A.

Took chorale b/c I needed 1 more credit to graduate. Its a great class & the music selection was great, but just b/c its a 1 credit class, doesn't mean you can slack off. Arrive on time, bring all your music, pay attention in class, don't miss too much class & you'll be fine. Great & easy way to get an A, you won't regret it :)

Comment:
He's definitely tough. You have to work hard, and he holds you to high standards, but it's worth it! He's a great director. Not available for much technical help outside of class, but you're expected to practice on your own. Overall a very professional guy, and a really fun class to go to, just a little heavy on the work side.

He's a really fun, and yet productive teacher. He makes the class fun, but you still get a lot done. He improves your skill, and makes the class interesting. Usually has good music choice. I recommend taking Chorale with him. =]

The chorale is a lot of fun, and Janower is a very easygoing conductor. If you show up to rehearsal, it's an easy A, and the music selection is pretty good. Join!

This guy is awesome! :) He wants you to be the best that you can be, and will not accept anything less. If you have problems or conflicts, however, he works with you. He is always available to help you if you need it.

Comment:
Rude, arrogant and obnoxious don't even begin to describe him. Is intimidated by musicians with comparable degrees and talent exceeding his. Is dismissive, abrupt and uses volunteers as slaves. You don't need the headache of dealing with him, and there are much better choirs in the area.

I found him to be an inspiring chorus director who introduced me to music I came to love. His sense of humor and his high standards earned my respect. I miss singing with him!

Terrible teacher, obnoxious and demeaning. If you're on his good side you'll probably like him, but if you're not you will hate him beyond belief and he will make your life a living hell.
