DP is the best teacher ever! He makes keyboarding class so much fun and always jokes around. There's never a day where I don't look forward to going to class, which is rare for me. He is super helpful and genuinely wants to see you succeed. Best teacher at Furman for sure!

Comment:
My absolute favorite! His class is demanding and will kick your butt, but there's no one I would rather have for theory-you leave his class SO prepared. He cares so much about you as a student and a person- he came to me when I had trouble and has always made sure to offer help if I need it. Easily my favorite professor at Furman!

DP is the best ever! Theory's not easy at all, but at least he made me enjoy the class. He's so helpful, if he knows you need it he'll come to you, and he doesn't give up on students. One of the best teachers I've ever had.

One of the best I've had at Furman! Cares so much about each individual student. You will learn a lot in this class, which is demanding, but that is true of any quality course! What's better is he's a nice, down to earth, family kind of guy!

Comment:
dr parsons is SO willing to help but sometimes it seems like he picks favorites. he's one of the best at what he does though. i could have learned more in his class if the students would have kept quiet!

Comment:
Theory just isn't an easy class. The dictations are killers for me, but he is very willing to help. I love his class even when I'm not loving my grade. Funny, a friend, very much a PERSON. I strongly reccomend him. Great pianist, too.
