Comment:

Great teacher, great guy. He cares if you care. He is stubborn on the thing that he needs to but once you establish a repot with him you have no problem asserting how you feel! He doesnt come into contact much with people that aren't ready for him so if you are afraid to take him do not be! If you are in one of his classes you'll be fine!

Excellent teacher! Inspired me to teach music. Cares for his students, believes in his students, and is always willing to help if you ask. Strives to serve God in all things.

Worst music teacher. Don't understand why he has a job at APU still. Also, not a very good musician so he can't really teach you anything.

Was looking forward to taking this class but quickly found out that he does not know how to conduct. Very narrow-minded. Take conducting from another teacher.

Comment:

As nice as he is, he is generally very stubborn, and pushy. His way or the highway. Music is one of those subjects where you should be able to assert an opinion without being rebuked. But, even in non-music matters he is like this. It's just he personality, but be prepared for possible personality conflicts when you take his class.

Comment:

I have little to no respect for this man. He is a manipulator to no end. If you get at all involved in music building politics, you WILL butt heads with him. He is stubborn, unhelpful, and not open to criticism or suggestion at all. He is not only disrespectful to students, but more so to other professors!

Comment:

Probably one of the most frantic conductors I have ever had. Is consistently out of time, either speeding up, usually, or slowing down. Rehearsals really don't accomplish much. If you don't believe me take a listen to a wind ensemble recording- pretty sloppy and out of tune. I wish that he didn't have as much controll over the scholarships as he do

Comment:

He is a great guy, in and out of class. Always there to listen. He's understanding, but he also wants you to do your best, which is why he challenges you. He can get disappointed when you don't do as well as he thinks you can, but he's really just encouraging you all the way. He can be a "tish" excited at times, but it makes Wind Ensemble fun.

On a scale of 1-10 he's an eleven. I know it, I know it! OH-ho-ho-hooo! He's the "get on the band wagon" sort of guy. Very 'spoo-mah-tic!'
